Spoiled kids...
Just because it was Boys Day, my kids expected gifts. It's my fault, I have been spoiling them with too many gifts for each little holiday and of course birthday's and Christmas.
They are older now and I thought I would be a little more practical. Slippers!
Ever since we adopted our dog Ginger, we have been losing slippers almost monthly. Grrrrr!!!
She will chew up anything. Yesterday I scolded her for taking the swim fin and biting into it. Ugh!
Besides the dog, my boys don't even want to wear slippers or shoes most of the time, and often track in dirt into our house. The dog already leaves muddy paw prints all over my floors, I don't need the boys adding to it.
This is why I no longer have carpet. My other house had white carpet, believe me, I have learned my lesson. Kids and dogs plus white carpet don't mix!
House slippers are a funny thought for our family, but I am desperate for cleaner floors. I gave everyone a pair and we will see how long it lasts.
Honestly if they just wear something on their feet and are better about wiping their dogs paws, they would mop the floor a lot less.
Someday they will learn. Until then, I'm just hoping the dog doesn't eat these new slippers.
The joys of family with a dog. Wishing you a beautiful week ahead.
Love Always,
Maile

Happy Easter Sunday
I have always loved Easter. As a kid, waking up to find a beautiful Easter basket filled with presents and colorful eggs was almost as exciting as Christmas morning.
My mom was crafty and artsy about it and we would enjoy making big messes while coloring all the Easter eggs. Then waiting while my dad hid the eggs in the yard, and finding more than my brother, was always fun.
I did the egg coloring and egg hunt with my own kids when they were smaller to, but now they are older, and lately we have been discussing the meaning of the holiday.
The beginning of Christianity was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There were no egg hunts at the crucifixion, that was more of a pagan ritual to celebrate fertility and spring.
Isn't it nice how time has changed the holiday to add gifts, the Easter bunny, marshmallow peeps, and the very popular Easter brunch buffets that require reservations days, weeks, or months in advance?
It doesn't matter how you celebrate or why. As long as you are enjoying your life and living each day, including holidays, the way that makes you happy, then the journey is memorable.
We are all on this lovely crazy journey of our lives, I wish you many blessings and lots of fun.
Hope you get lots of crazy colored Easter eggs and maybe a chocolate bunny to. I always bite the ear off first, for some reason, I think it hurts the chocolate bunny a little less. Ha ha.
Love and Aloha,
Maile

Blessings
I woke up to beautiful light rain shower and gorgeous sunrise. I came downstairs to find my parents had dropped off a delicious hot breakfast for me and my family. A few moments later, while sipping my lemon water and saying goodmorning to my plants, I was surprised with a beautiful double rainbow.
I received a nice message in my dreams about rewards coming. Even all the icky insects that came to visit me- ugh another in my bathroom last night 0.0- they had a message. Rewards are here and manifesting in my life. I am grateful. I am feeling overwhelmingly blessed and it makes me feel like I need to rest right now.
I will need to recharge my energy for something amazing is unfolding. I am grateful and send as much good energy out to you as I can.
It is time to manifest rewards and let the universe bless you with everything you deserve for living each day with gratitude in your heart and sharing it with others. Sending love and light to you always.
Mahalo nui loa.
Me ke aloha pumehana,
Maile
