Hui, Lil' Chefs, and Of Course...Cupcakes!

Just call me "Crazy Cupcake Lady"...that's what I think is going through most people's minds these days anyway. Did I start this Hui group today because I wanted to give back to an awesome organization, or did I start it so I could share cupcakes with more moms? Hmm...
At any rate, this morning I was a busy bee. After a leading hiatus of probably a year, I was back in the swing of things and leading a Hui group of infants. Yay me! Cupcakes and infants all in one morning. The kids (and the moms) were all super nice---I lucked out again. After our Hui meeting (and pawning, I mean sharing, my latest cupcake creation), I taught the Lil' Chef class at Island Monkeez. We had one new tot join us for a creative, fun treat---"Halloween Cat"...or "half eaten rice cake cat", "10 raisin eyed cat", "no pretzel ears 'cause I ate them cat"...you get the picture. It was fun though---no matter how much it did (or didn't)look like a cat! There were a few leftover cupcakes from the earlier Hui meeting, so the parents of the tiny tots were able to enjoy the latest---Lavender Honey Cupcakes and Hummingbird Marmalade Cupcakes.

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...

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?

Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail

Image
Lost in Paradise is how I would describe yesterday's beach/forest trail that led us past crabs climbing on rocks, mongoose dashing across the trail, horses around the stables, a lone Pillbox, and finally to an iconic Banyan Tree famous for recurring roles in the television series "Lost" and an appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My mother-in-law was on island visiting for a week, so Marina, Sarah, and I took her on a hiking adventure...followed up by a thirst quenching Bacon Basil Bloody Mary.  I have previously explored trails with my mother-in-law.  We have trekked through mud and mosquitos at Manoa Falls, walked up a windy Makapu'u, huffed up Hau'ula Loop, strolled the North Shore's Waimea Falls and Kahuku Point.  So, this visit was no different.  We found ourselves hiking pals again for two separate trails this trip, the Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail being the best of the two. This trail begins in the far corner of the Turt...
