Productivity

I love when I finally get to cross things off my to do list. Productive days are exhausting but you definitely sleep better at night.

Beauty sleep is my favorite thing to do ;) happy dreaming and hoping you have a super productive week to.
Love and Aloha,
Maile

Lazy Sunday Wishes

If this rain storm really arrives, I want to stay in bed and sleep ;)
I could really use the rest to recharge for the new week.
Wishing you a relaxing Sunday.
Aloha,

Sweet Dreams <3

It's a school night, which means early bedtime. I have no idea what my kids are complaining about, I love sleep! They have no idea what they are missing. Even Ginger is ready for bed. Ummm not my bed...she is their dog.

May your Thursday be even happier than your dreams.
Aloha,
Maile

Sleeping like a baby

I love my nephews. Oh, they are at the perfect ages. Little baby Connor who just celebrated his first birthday, and adorable Ethan, my wise four year old.

I absolutly enjoy every moment. They make me laugh and smile. Children have such pure hearts, you can't help but fall in love with them.

In those perfect moments, I wish I had a little baby to. Then they cry, or have some little melt down, or have created such a big mess, and the moment I can give them back to their parents, I am so grateful that I have grown out of that stage.

Reality sets back in, and I realize, I'm a survivor of the baby, toddler, diapers, potty training, tantrums, sleepless nights mommy days! My youngest still in elementary school, my oldest in high school. I am so happy to be past that. It feels like graduation.

Although, older has gotten easier, it brings new challenges. Teenage boys seem to be a different species that I am rather unfamiliar with. I can recall my teenage girl years, but the problems my son faces seem so out there, I have to often consult with their dad to translate.

I'm going to bed, it's a school night. Ugh...I hate waking up early for school.

Love and hugs and giggles.
Aloha,
Maile

Insomnia why???

A night of tossing and turning...first I was to cold, then to hot, and then cold again, then I have to get up and go to the bathroom, even tho I wanted to just wait until morning, ugh!

My mind seemed to race with every conceivable thought as soon as my head hit the pillow. Of course, I had things I could have taken to fall asleep, but they all required more liquid in my system.

Alright, its morning and now I can't remember any of the amazing things I was trying to not think about as I was trying to sleep. Lol! This life is so weird sometimes! Thankful it's Wednesday. Even more grateful for every hour of precious rest I think I may have gotten ;)

Smiles for your day! I will need them ;)

Aloha nui loa,
Maile

Love the journey!

Weekends with children are sleep in a little later, laundry and chores, visit with loved ones, and whatever time left you can squeeze in fun with the family days. When the weekend is over, the routine of Monday through Friday limit any extra curricular activities to just a few hours here and there.

Life is such a roller coaster sometimes, and as we ease into the new year, I am really appreciating all the crazy hours and all the lazy hours.

Enjoying the ride is all we can ever hope for! Although, I'm not really a good passenger, more the crazy driver type ;) lol. Happy weekend!

Aloha,
Maile
