OMG we really drank this!!!

I wanted everyone to know we survived our first shot of home-grown, home-juiced wheatgrass. It wasn't that bad really!! I haven't convinced myself to do it everyday but so far 2 days down and I really can feel the energy boost. Ben and I take it right before we go walking-jogging and we both feel full of energy, so it must be doing something good..

Ben finally has something to say


Ben's been wanting a kayak for EVER and he finally found a used one at a reasonable price. He can't wait to get this out on the ocean (too bad it didn't come with paddles) so he has to wait. Not only will I rarely see him this semester because of studying, but now he has another hobby that I can bet he will spend most of his free time doing. Oh well, I guess you only get the opportunity to live in Hawaii once so you might as well do it right!

Bag it up


Because I recently left Corporate America to be a stay at home mom I am learning to add creative hobbies to my days. Partly so I don't go mad, but also because I have learned to focus these new found skills to my benefit. For example, I want a new beach bag, humm I'll just make one. Who says sewing is for old ladies?

Drink this?


Lately I have started trying new things and forcing Ben to do them with me. I was looking online trying to find a natural supplement to cure wrinkles and found a link to foods that heal, including skin. So I am now growing my own wheat grass, cooking barley and sweetening my yogurt with Brazillian acai berries. You might as well wrap me up and put me in a Koshi box because I have stepped into the relm of granola. Apparently they are all supposed to do amazing things for your body, I'll let you know how it works for me. I still have about 3 more days of growth before I put this grass in my mouth.

Bananas anyone?



One of the great things about living in Hawaii is the free fruit that grows everywhere. Every morning I look out my kitchen window and am greeted by a field of banana trees. We can literally pick these any time we want (with a little hop over the fence, but who's looking -right??;)

Meet the one and only Miss P-Love Cloud


Presley just turned 11 months old and has started the count down to her 1 year old birthday! She cruises everywhere and gets into EVERYTHING and took her very first walking step Aug 2oth. Here is a list of the things Miss P-Love Loves to do:
· Dance while holding onto the the TV stand watching the movie Annie
· Shakes her head back and forth like she is trotting while crawling really fast
· Turning the TV on and off over and Over and OVER
· Splashing water at the beach and sneaking sand into her mouth when I turn my head
· Shout the word Yucka over and Over and OVER
· Trying to walk while falling down repeatedly
