Sesame Place

July 14th, 2008

I never realized that a Sesame Street amusement park even existed until I saw it mentioned on GoodyBlog! How cool, I would love to take the kids there but it’s a little far from Hawaii. Then I thought we could drive out to Sesame Place when we visit my folks in New […]

TSO is a genius. Yes, you heard me say it.

June 30th, 2008

This weekend a bunch of us got together at Karen and TSO’s house. It was a typical gathering at their house. Some great food, fun company, unnecessarily violent yet oh-so-entertaining mixed martial arts matches on the television, and children running around hopped up on sugar screaming like little girls. Usually whenever we […]

SolLight: New toy for camping season

June 22nd, 2008

Now that summer is here our gang is quite excited. Certainly not because of the sunny days and warm temperatures - we get more than our share of that every day here in Hawaii. We’re excited because that means camping at the beach! Of course the campsites are open year-round but it […]

Cool Website: Lite-Brite

June 16th, 2008

Remember Lite-Brite? Those cool light boxes that came with a pegboard attached to the front so you could insert colorful plastic pegs into it and create fancy designs, pictures and patterns? I remember spending hours playing with mine until I ran out of the black paper to insert behind the pegboard to […]

MyHeritage: Look-alike Meter - Roots - Research family history
Have you ever wondered who your child looks more like? With some people there’s no doubt whatsoever who the child takes after. Not in our family. We have absolutely no clue and it seems no one else can figure it out either. I’m […]

Who Am I?

Recently we had my cousin and her family visiting us from London. My cousin and her husband have a 4 year old son, Fireman, and a 2 year old daughter, Ariel. Along with my three boys we had a house with 5 kids - ages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years. […]

My 5 year old, TSO Jr, received Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for his birthday. The game takes place at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. You can choose to play using classic Mario and Sonic characters or with your own Mii characters. Players compete in Olympic events like […]

The Wii Action Pack

May 2nd, 2008

The Wii Action Pack for the Nintendo Wii Remote comes with a tennis racquet, baseball bat, and golf club to attach to your Wii remote for a more realistic game. I was hoping that with a better feel for the real game I might have a future John McEnroe (forget that we have enough […]

Nintendo Wii Fit

After three kids my body is just not the same! I’ve been fortunate enough to lose most of the pregnancy weight but need to work at losing the final pounds. To set the record straight I am not one of those women who only gained 20 pounds during pregnancy. All […]

Rachael Ray Recipe: Chicken Taco Patties

April 22nd, 2008

This is a really easy dinner though it takes a little longer if you have kids helping. I left out the jalapeno chiles to avoid hearing my kids scream, “mommy! mommy! my mouth is on fire!”
