Easy Vegan Passionfruit Mousse
A recipe for an easy Vegan Passionfruit (Lilikoi) Mousse. Remember the Covid lockdown days? (Is it ok to say that yet?) I think a lot of people did interesting and out-of-their-ordinary things that year. Started new hobbies. Read extra books. Learned a foreign language or how to play a musical instrument... Will you look back on 2020 as the year you did something new? Well, I grew out my bangs. That's about it. 🤷♀️ (Otherwise my
Make the Best of the Rest of Your Summer- with 3 simple Steps. {A Friend Post!}
3 Steps to Getting the Most out of (what's left of) summer! Hey Friends! As you might have noticed, *😉 😬* I have not exactly been on my blogging game for some time now. It's really just a problem of time, but I sincerely miss it sooo much. I personally love to read short articles that spark an idea, offer some guidance, or make me feel a little less alone in some area of life. I also truly enjoy writing short, encouraging posts. (They are much less daunting than a book,
End of Spring Coffee Date, 2021
Join me today for coffee, photos, updates, and a giveaway! Oh and some pretty stars, too... Happy June, my friends... And Wow...look how 2021 is flying by! I seriously just looked at my own website trying to remember when exactly I published my "End of Winter Coffee Date" post...only to find that...I didn't. 😌 Nope.

Egg a Friend’s House with Your Kids {Easter Fun with a Faith Lesson}
This week I helped my boys egg our good friends' back yard. 🥚 😳 Fortunately it was not the kind of "egging" I remember (hearing about 🙈🤫) in high school, but it was super fun. And I thought I'd tell you about it... But first, this is important to know: I am teaming up this Thursday through Saturday (3/25-27) with an amazing group of women doing a round up of great Easter ideas on Instagram...which includes a $400 -- (yes, FOUR HUNDRED DOLLAR!)
Happy New Year//10th Blogiversary! {With a giveaway!}
Happy New Year!!!! And also: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this BLOG! We just turned TEN, and that makes me a feel a little like... A LOT has happened in ten years! A lot of hard work...a few years wondering what the heck I was doing/where I was going...(nearly quitting)...Some highs, some lows, and more hard work. But also tons of blessings and fun along the way. Now, if I had more forethought...time/energy, I might have put together something really special for the occasion.
Fall Coffee Date, 2020 Edition.
Aloha Friends! It feels like it's been a very long time since my last Coffee Date Post (or any regular post at all...😳) But someone tell me: Do people actually read blog posts any more? Hello? Anyone out there?... Oh hi! I see you! Yay. Glad you're here! So...ready for coffee? Of course, we have to start off by acknowledging that coffee dates in 2020 are not exactly the same as they used to be. At least in Hawaii, there are no coffee shops with
