I am grateful for all that I have :)

I have been cleaning and cleaning and I know I'm making my family crazy, but the new year energy is coursing right through my very being and I absolutely can't stop myself!

In the end, everything will be clean and and I will be calm and definitely ready to tackle all the opportunities of the new year!

As I have gone through piles of photos and so many other things, I am reminded of so many wonderful memories and reflect on the wonderful life and amazing people in my life. I am truly blessed just to know you all and although time flies and we all get caught up in our day to day lives, we will reconnect again soon.

There is always a perfect time and place for everything. When that moment arrives we will find each other again. Many blessings until then.

Math is never funny.

As its only Tuesday and dreams of the weekend linger and hopes of the next weekend seem a little far out out of reach, I thought I needed to send a smile out today.

Although, a side note, Math is never funny, especially now that I realize I can no longer understand algebra. I stopped using it after college. Just because I didn't need to use it in my profession, I'm sure there was some other math genius with a fancy title who did. So to my kids, you still need to learn it. But I don't have to ever again! Yeah!!!! Ok that makes me smile :)

Happy Tuesday!

Tacos, kids, and early bedtime!

What could be better than Family Sunday? It started out as an afterthought of Saturday nights family bbq, no one wanted to stop playing or talking the night away. As it got later and later we decided we would definitely need to continue the weekend fun the next night, and maybe start just a little earlier.

Taco night is always great. Make it yourself and a few ingredients feeds a big hungry family.

I love how our family has grown and seeing my boys and their cousins play all night reminds me so much of my keiki days in the neighborhood with my friends. Staying out late playing under the stars until we had to finally go home, dragging our feet so slowly, when just a few moments before we were racing around so fast.

Playing stops when we tell them, "Its a school night, and we all have to go to bed early." Its funny to hear the kids argue, "but its still early!"

Grateful for the sunshine we had today and the exhausting playtime, I know we will all sleep good tonight, ready for the opportunities that await us all tomorrow. Happy wishes for your Monday!

Sweet dreams.

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!

No TV in the bedroom!

You can call it a New Years' Resolution but I will say its a wish manifested thanks to the power of feng shui.

Loving the new energy in the house. There is still more to do, but the fact that my boys are feeling the positive energy has caused a stir in each of them.

Yesterday they removed the televisions from their bedrooms, and the time spent on electronic devices is being lessened.

I love seeing this change in them! I love the feeling of more together time with my boys and watching them take charge of their own life.

Sending positive energy to you!

Manifest your dreams now!

Thursday Energy is so exciting to me! It may be the culmination of efforts accomplished in the earlier week days that finally see the light of fruition.

Manifest your dreams now! Take advantage of every opportunity, because you just never know what you may see manifest in your own life in just a few months, weeks, or maybe days!

Happiest wishes for your Thursday!

Aloha,
Maile
