For my whole life I’ve wanted to go to Hawaii. It was such a lucky trip thanks to generous people in my husband’s family. We needed a little break from our woes for a few days. (Still no job. Boo.) When I e-mailed Damaris and Hannah about places to eat while we were in Oahu, […]
Malia’s Pasteles
Guys, are you sick of me reliving Hawaii yet? I can’t believe what an impression Hawaii had on me. I am thinking of every possible way to get back there as soon as possible. Could I sell a kidney? Could I sell a car? To live there would be so nice. Anyone want to bankroll […]

I hope I have enough energy for that. The weather is going to unbelievably beautiful today […]
Garden Update
Our little porch/patio/balcony garden is doing splendidly well. It has been so fun for our kids to see the seeds sprout and turn into recognizable plants. We’re still waiting on a few herbs and plants to take off, but we know if we’re patient… On Memorial Day we headed to The Home Depot and bought […]
