Aloha friends!

And just like that spring break is over! My kids do get a state holiday off this week and Good Friday, so that’s nice, they only have 3 days of school this week. We didn’t do anything special this week, just mostly chilled at home or went to the mall but my kids just wanted to relax at home.

I did get some reading done, not as much as I wanted, but I got some reading done at least. Also dealing with allergies – bleh.

Are we ready to be already 4 months into the year?! 😆 I don’t know if I’m ready.

Have a good week!

I watched this one on St. Patty’s Day and it was a cute rom-com.

I guess I was in a Netflix mood because right after Irish Wish, I watched Damsel! I read the book as an arc last year and it was a cool premise but the way it was written felt like a screenplay and look at that – it was made into a really entertaining movie! I enjoyed much more as a movie than as a book – it has lots of action.

Aloha friends!

Whoohoo! We made it to spring break! Let me tell you my kids are HAPPY. They just want to sleep in and chill at home, maybe go to the arcade. The past week, my son was battling a cough – then half his class ended up being sick by Friday – so they all went into spring break sick. 😆 I’m just glad my daughter is over her cough!

We are just gonna relax at home and unwind.🥰

Since this is probably the only way I’ll see the Eras Tour up close and personal, I definitely watched it. It worked out good for me in Hawaii because it dropped at 9pm EST which meant for us here it was 3PM HST which was when my kids and I got home.

It was nicely done and I enjoyed it all! My daughter had her favorites but that girl can’t sit still for a 3 hour movie. My son was sorta watching – he was playing on his ipad and listening at the same time.

Aloha friends!

Another week closer to Spring Break! My kids and I are looking forward to having a break. We have nothing planned since I decided to Japan trip this year – kind of wish I planned it – but it is what it is!

The weather in Hawaii has been surprisingly cool for March! I’d say it’s been the coolest winter we’ve had in a long time and it’s lasted from December to March. We usually have like 2 weeks of winter weather in January which is basically wind, rain and some 69 degree mornings which is cold for us! But it’s been windy again this week, so the hottest it will get is 80 degrees right now and the other day it went up to 82 and it felt like summer. I was like, what is this?! I’m sweating! 😅 Except our summers are usually 88-89 degrees lol…so I think we are getting a bit spoiled with this perfect temperature we have been having.

The other day on the drive to school it was drizzling and cloudy on one side but the nearer we got to the school, the sun was rising and bursting out of the clouds – and I heard my daughter say “mommy, a double rainbow!!!!”. Sure enough in front of us was the most vibrant, huge, complete double rainbow. It was such a nice way to start our morning – it was so bright, and magical and I wanted a picture of it but I was driving. The rainbow was still there when I got home but not as vibrant, and this is what I got. Still pretty but I wish I got the whole thing when we first saw it.

I hope all of you had a good week and have an even better one this week!

I’ve been watching Doctor Slump on Netflix for the past couple weeks and I love the chemistry between these two actors! They are so cute and funny at the same time. Their romance gives me all the feels! 🥰 Also I love all the mental health and family themes in the the show. I wish all the episodes were out so I didn’t have to wait 😅.

We are officially three months into the year and I really wished I had booked that Spring Break trip to Tokyo! I am itching to go somewhere. I go no where for 10 years while my babies were babies and now I want to just go go go! 😅

This week went smoothly which is nice. But my daughter get another cold in the 2nd half of the week, so she stayed home from school. Did I get some reading done? Barely! Am I in a slump? Maybe? lol

Have a good week!

Aloha friends!

Here we are in the last weekend of February and wow, are we ready for March?! I’m ready for spring break but I don’t know if I’m ready that after March that means my kids only have 2 more months of school and summer will be here. 😒 My son will be going to middle school in August! I’m shocked, sad, but happy for him too but wow are my kids growing up so fast. 🥲

The good thing about this year going fast is my hubby will be home at the end of this year! Yay!

We had a packed weekend already with doctor appointments, tap and piano and Sunday school so 😅. I’ll be ready for spring break very soon!

Have a good week!
