Jennell and Christian lived in Kailua while they completed their medical residencies years ago, so it has a special place in their hearts. When Christian’s parents started planning a big celebration and family reunion in Hawaii for their 40th anniversary, they suggested finding a home in their old stomping ground. After a bit of searching […]

Oahu for Kids

Pirates in Honolulu? Thar be pirates in Honolulu, argh! At least that’s what my friend told me (my apologies for the pirate talk, I shall refrain until international talk like a pirate day). More importantly, said pirates had a deal on Groupon where you could set sail with them for a fair price. I had […]

Everything is so new and exciting and you want to hold on to those first moments as a family. Of course you’re just so tired, it’s hard to really process any of it. Personally, I wouldn’t remember […]

Bellows Beach is one of my favorite spots on the island. The area by the guard shack is my absolute favorite at low tide because you have a shallow expanse of water that is perfect for babies and toddlers to splash in. Throw in a sunrise and a layer of mist hanging over the horizon […]

I’ve driven past Kokololio Beach Park in Laie many times. All you can see from the road is a grassy expanse leading to a wall of trees bordering the ocean. Those trees block your view so you can’t see what’s on the other side and I’ve been dying to know what’s there. If you can’t […]

Porsche was so excited for her photo session. For inspiration, she created an entire Pinterest board full of lovely family portraits taken on the mainland – grassy fields bathed in soft evening light, warm fall colors, tall boots, and cozy sweaters. Throw in an old barn for some extra ambiance.  The were images that make […]
