Weekly Wrap Up | 5/21/23

Aloha friends!

My oldest nephew graduated from high school yesterday! Woohoo! But it was a long night for me and the kids since the venue was a bit far, a little long and since we live in Hawaii, it is custom to find the graduate and give him leis. Fresh flower leis are so pricey these days and I don’t have a plumeria tree to make my own leis from the flowers so instead I made yarn and ribbon leis. I was making them all last week actually.

I made this eye lash yarn lei which was super easy and you can find lots of tutorials on youtube. His school colors and it’s my alma mater too is Maroon and White. I also tried my hand and making ribbon leis, which I found super relaxing to do. I even taught my mom so she could make a bunch for him also.

Then I made one more lei using this other yarn that reminded me of feathers. Anyway I think he had enough leis. Hawaii goes all out with giving leis. I remember my high school graduation where I could barely see out of the leis around me. 😅 Fun times!

This week is the LAST week of school for public school kids so I am excited, and my kids are excited. Then we have a few parties this weekend, a birthday and a graduation one…then we go on our trip! I’m kind of freaking out, just trying to make sure I have EVERYTHING for the trip. It helps that if I forget anything we are staying with my husband anyway and we can get it there…but I’m just more anxious about making sure things like passports don’t get lost.

I hope all of you have a good week!

Books I Read:

Currently Reading:

I’m listening to Tokyo Dreaming as an audiobook.

Shows/Movies I Watched:

• Never Have I Ever – Season 3 (Netflix) – I felt like laughing and this show always makes me giggle. Looking forward to the next season, and I’m sad it will be the last one!
• XO, Kitty (Netflix) – aw I love that Kitty from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before gets her own show! Kitty was always so quirky and now she’s grown up and moved to Korea to attend the same school as her long-distance boyfriend. It’s like an American K-Drama, and it has so much romance drama – maybe too much of it. I binged it in one day because the episodes are short but I thought it was cute and I’m team enemies to lovers, Kitty and Min Ho. 😅 But I felt so bad for Dae’s storyline – poor guy!

How was your week? Did you get a lot done? Watch anything good? Read any amazing books or books you didn’t finish? What are you reading?…Leave me a comment below!
