Hello! We got back from Hawaii a couple of weeks ago and I am just feeling like I'm just getting caught up on things. It doesn't help that the second I got home, I started a few new design projects... :P Ahh.. can't help it when inspiration strikes! I often think about how many other crazy people are out there painting or moving furniture in the wee hours of the night. Anyone ? :) Decorators are quite an impatient bunch wouldn't you say? Isn't that how DIY got started? ("I'll just do it myself." :)
Ok... so here are some great things I discovered while in Hawaii this time. First, I found this awesome blog, Oahu Mom. If you are looking for great ideas for family outings that you won't find in any guide book, you're in luck! Lisa writes from personal experience and does such a good job of sharing some of the lil' gems of Oahu, especially if you have kids. Thanks Lisa for making our trip so much MORE fun!
2nd thing... food or grinds as they say. Man... we LOVE the food in Hawaii. I could go on and on, but for now, I'll just share about a new discovery from this trip. We found one of the best combinations out there... peanut butter and coconut! North Shore Goodies makes these amazing little jars of Coconut Peanut Butter. So yummy! You can find them at farmners markets in Hawaii or order online. I love supporting local businesses too!

Lastly, here's a funny transition from food to bathing suits. :) Not a new discovery, but I wanted to give a plug for Athleta's amazing bathing suits. I love them and pretty much lived in them during our trip. They look as good as they feel. They have some great patterns and what I love most is the construction. You can move, stretch, reach and swim without the fear of anything falling out that you don't want to. (so important if you're chasing lil' ones) :) The best part is... they have great sales and are having one right now! You can find suits on sale for just about the same as you'd pay at Target or Old Navy. Seriously, love Athleta!
We love going to Hawaii and seeing old friends and making new ones. They always show us the true meaning of aloha and ohana (love and family).

You can certainly count me among the "crazy people" who do odd things in the middle of the night! More importantly, thanks for the Athleta bathing suit tip. I'm Hawaii-bound myself and was having a suit inspired mini crisis. Problem, solved!
So glad to hear that my little corner of the web helped you enjoy your trip more. Thanks for the shout-out!
I second the Athleta recommendation. Great swimsuits!
