Fire And Ice Cupcakes

...for Bella and Edward's (yes, fictional characters from the Twilight saga) wedding anniversary of course! This just proves further that the last weeks of pregnancy equal crazy. I love both the Twilight books and movies, but never thought I would have the opportunity to attend a party to celebrate two of the characters getting married...and to bake cupcakes for that party. Thanks to another Twi-hard mom friend, I secured an exclusive invite to the event. And what an event. I thought I loved a good theme...this hostess has me beat...by a long shot. It was fun and silly to gather with the other ladies to play Twilight themed Bunco, cut Bella and Edward's wedding cake, play a little Twilight trivia for prizes, re-watch Twilight, and talk story with folks who are similarly obsessed. It was a great distraction from being 38 weeks pregnant. And some great dessert eating. And the perfect venue for me to wear my "Edward's Baby" Twilight maternity shirt. And not a bad way to spend my Saturday night.

Pali Notches: Cloudy, Muddy, Windy, and Scary

Image
Last week I added a "notch" in my hiking/climbing belt...Pali Notches.  Here's my disclaimer: I'm not responsible for your decision to do this hike.  If you are afraid of heights, not comfortable climbing, unprepared for changing weather conditions...don't do it!  When in doubt, don't go out applies for this hike.  That being said...last week I did the scariest hike I've ever done...and I survived! If you have followed my blog for awhile, you will know that the past year my blog has been regularly dedicated to my weekly hiking adventures.  A new hike, a new post.  But, before my hiking obsession, there was a cupcake baking obsession.  A new recipe, a new post.  Clearly I'm passionate about specific things and like to share it on my blog, lucky you.  During the cupcake phase, my sporty behavior pretty much consisted of couch surfing.  So, to be hiking an average of four times a week and eating zero cupcakes...well, I've come a long way.

Mililani Exploration: Kipapa Stream Trail

Image
Learn something new everyday. Today, I learned there is a lovely neighborhood park in walking distance from my house...and a fabulous hiking trail just behind that!  Today we were finally able to go on a hike---without driving (well, sort of...more on that later). We simply geared up, walked out of our house and to a trail we'd never explored before. Adventure Saturday! Today's hike was 2.2 miles (one way) on a partially old paved road, winding around the back woods of Mililani, down to Kipapa Stream, back up to...Costco in Waipio. Say what? We truly had not planned on arriving on the oustskirts of a farm that is directly across from our local Costco. Hiking truly lands you in the most unexpected places.   Along our route we encountered dirt bikers, a small band of pre-teen scooter riders, a couple of farm hands in a truck, a very intimidating junkyard dog, zero other hikers, and a friendly Starbucks Barista.  That's right, after our Saturday surprise hiking adventure, we f

Shameless Plug...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?
