Just for fun! This is for all things Hawaii!
Last Sunday called for pictures because we were all looking cute! I love these dresses I found at Target! And mine has POCKETS! A friend of ours just got back from Texas and she knew the way to our hearts…Chick-fil-A sauce! It just so happened that I had nuggets and waffle fries in the fridge …
Nothing is going the way we want it to go. But there are smiles and blessings scattered throughout our days and I know there’s some quality time in this pandemic-season if I look for it.
Time for a Peek Into Our Week at The Strong Home! Lately, we’ve been really enjoying exploring spots that are normally crawling with tourists. Right now most of those places are pretty empty due to the 14-day quarantine requirement for anyone coming to the islands. It’s heartbreaking for the economy, but it’s fun for kama’aina (locals) to explore places we’d usually never go when they’re crawling with tourists! Now
We recently traveled 4,000 miles away and spent 19 days in one of the world’s greatest hotspots during a global pandemic. And boy, did we have the time of our lives! We’re currently on day 14 of a 14-day mandatory quarantine imposed by the state of Hawaii. We knew that we’d have to go through …
The “spring-break-quarantine-summer-vacation-days” are getting long! Sometimes I feel like I need to be super creative and plan cute activities for the kids to keep them entertained and occupied. And other times, I’m convinced that I can see their little brains turning to mush right before my eyes! This day, Katie and Ben got their creative …
Back to the beach! We went several times this week because the trade winds disappeared and “the hotbox” (as Ben lovingly refers to our house) just got too hot. Also, the sunglasses I’m wearing in this pic broke that day. I’ve had three pairs just like them and they’re my favorite sunglasses ever. I used …
Oh, Hawaii, you have my heart. We got to get out and enjoy so much of Hawaii’s beauty this week. Chris and I ended the week with a snorkel-date at Three Tables Beach on Oahu’s North Shore. I chased a rainbow fish and a clownfish and even the humuhumunukunukuapua’a, Hawaii’s state fish! The week began …
This week was hard. We faced a lot of life-stuff that knocked us down and made us cry and made us lose our minds at times. But there are certainly good times if you look for them, even in the middle of a rough week. We’ve got FOUR. MORE. DAYS. of distance learning and then …
Life in Hawaii is breathtaking scenery and beautiful beaches, but there are also dishes in the sink and work to do. Here’s a little glimpse into a week in The Strong Home. So there you have it folks, a peek into our week! Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to The Strong Home so you don’t miss …
Trade winds make me happy. No trade winds make me grouchy. There are phone booths everywhere. I’m not sure why because I’ve never seen anyone using one. Our neighborhood is SO quiet. And everyone has their windows open, which means that I’m pretty sure my LOUD TEXAS FAMILY is making quite an impression. School gets …
