Weekly Wrap Up | 7/31/22

Aloha friends!

This is it – the last day of July! 😩 Back to school for my son tomorrow and orientation week for my daughter so…here we go….

But this does mean, I finally get a few hours away from my kids FINALLY starting the second week of August. I don’t know how to act. 😅

Oh another thing I did the past few days was make an effort to update the graphics on my blog. I think I got it to where I will be happy with it for some time. (I hope.)

Aloha friends!

I feel like this past week was the last one of summer for me! This week starts a very busy week – my hubby is getting hernia surgery, my daughter goes for her Kindergarten placement test, and we got school t-shirt uniform pick and teacher meet and greet for my son on Friday! Gonna try and haul all his supplies on that day too. And that’s it, school starts for my kids on August 1st (for my 4th grader), my daughter will get a tour and orientation and a half day of school and then she starts full on August 8th.

Where has the summer gone? 😢 I’m mentally preparing myself for…everything! How was your week? Can you believe July is coming to an end soon?

Shows/Movies I Watched:

  • Persuasion (Netflix) – a very cheeky, modern-ish version of Persuasion. It’s not going to please anyone who wants the movie to be exactly like the book but I think Dakota Johnson is funny and beautiful. Also Henry Golding is gorgeous! I kept an open mind and enjoyed it enough. My favorite Persuasion is still the one that was made in 1995. Now if they remade that one exactly I would be so happy.
  • Mystic Pizza (cable tv) – I have loved the movie Mystic Pizza since I was a teenager! I’ll never get tired of watching it.

Aloha friends!

Today is my 11th wedding anniversary and my hubby, kids and I are going to do a buffet brunch together. Now we had a lovely week that started off with A Peanuts Adventure event at the Ala Moana Shopping Center in Honolulu. Now Charlie Brown and Snoopy is what my hubby and I grew up with as kids. Our kids know Snoopy since he’s iconic but never had the patience to sit down and watch any Charlie Brown specials. But we had SO much fun. The goal was to download and app and find clues around the event. We found all the clues and they really did a great job inside the event!

Here are some pics from the event:

There were about 8 rooms to explore and there were some characters in some rooms that you could take photos with like Snoopy, Lucy and Charlie Brown! There was a Winter Dance room with a lit up dance floor – too much fun! We found all the clues and yes the staff helps you out lol.


The classroom was fun, they had an old microphone stand and if you speak in it – it had that iconic “whaawhaawhaa” kinda sound. Of course my hubby had to try it out 😅. I loved Schroeder’s piano room and the Great Pumpkin scene was done really well. We got to take a family photo with Charlie Brown in his room and then we went into the “scream” room. That was cool – you could scream into a microphone and watch the scream-meter move lol. The prices for the tickets were a bit high BUT I do think it was well worth it – there were so many things for the kids to do and it was colorful and come one…it’s Snoopy. How do you not love Snoopy?

Aloha friends!

We didn’t celebrate much for the 4th of July. With all that’s going on in the country it felt somber for us. So instead my family and I went to the Beyond Monet exhibit because my husband loves Monet. Then we went to the mall to visit the newly opened Oreo Cafe which is part of the It’s Sugar candy store.

Here are some pics from the Beyond Monet event:

It was way smaller than the Beyond Van Gogh event I think. My daughter concluded her favorite was the Van Gogh one because of Starry Night. But now she has two shirts from both events that she can wear obsessively lol. She is my little artist.

Here are some pics from the Oreo Cafe and It’s Sugar!

Sugar rush! My sister met us there so she bought my kiddos some candy. Not too much – thank goodness my kids aren’t big on hard candies. Chocolate though? They love.
