Maui-ed 6

4/8/16 was the big day.  I have attempted to track down photos from various other devices (the phones of family and friends) to piece together something for HHH, but I was preoccupied soaking up this momentous day with my sister so I am sorry for the lack of decent footage. We started the day with yoga on the beach at the Marriott.  Kyle had the kids and they played around the hotel property until I was done and then we all went back to our house together.  I helped with feeding the kids, but then went… Read more >

Rehearsal dayyyyyyy! This bride and groom pineapple couple is the cutest. The morning was mostly free play time before we started working on cleaning up the house for the party that evening.  Nothing is worth documenting on HHH until the evening.  P and I were in the wedding so we went to the rehearsal at 4 while Kyle and V stayed behind at the Makena house…and then after we “practiced” our duties we all went back to the Makena house for the rehearsal dinner.  Since it was a destination wedding, the entire guest list was invited,… Read more >

The weekly menu

Here’s the rest of the dinners I didn’t get around to sharing on the last post… For this bowl I made a tamari miso sauce (we don’t even have to use tamari anymore!) and roasted three blocks of firm pressed tofu.  We had a little extra tofu but two blocks doesn’t cut it for us any more.  Both P and V eat tofu raw with gusto.  I put a little of the sauce on it before roasting it as a marinade, but mostly saved it for adding to the completed dish. It’s so weird to suddenly realize all… Read more >

Getting back into it

After an exhausting flight home Kyle and I were so ready for the kids to sleep!!  Because they’d taken no naps at all (ZERO) combined with the time change meant we were able to put them down for bed as soon as we stepped in the front door.  That’s the silver lining way of looking at it.  But they went down with relief, so that was good.  Then food.  Then unpacking. I scrounged some barely alive kale and cabbage from the crisper drawer and added Caesar dressing and (imported) macadamia nuts for a decent meal.  It… Read more >

Fishing for grandpa. Wednesday was our “free day” before the wedding (as in the day where nothing was planned) so we kept it mellow with no plans.  V was still showing signs of fussiness, but we still didn’t know if it was her being sick or just stranger anxiety heightened by the foreign setting.  She’s usually the most happy go lucky girl, so it was really bizarre to have a high maintenance kid on our hands.  I had a bunch of mixed feelings about it though because she was nursing a lot more than she normally… Read more >
