Wong Wide Web – Ohana No Ka Oi

The Northstar ski trip was a lot of fun. With 3 other daycare families staying in the same cabin, the kids certainly had a blast. First off, staying in the Northstar Mountain Homes was awesome. We had door to village bus service so there really was no need to fight for parking. There was also [...]

Once again, I attempted a recipe in the ad hoc book. This time it was roast chicken. I roasted the chicken on a base of vegetables which included leeks, potatoes, onions, garlic. The smell that filled the house while roasting made my mouth water. I could hardly wait for the chicken to finish. When the [...]

Wow…Thanksgiving has come and gone, Christmas has come and gone, and now, New Year’s Day is coming to a close. We spent Thanksgiving in Scottsdale, AZ where it was the chilliest Thanksgiving in 30 years there. Nonetheless, we were able to swim each day in the warmed up pools of the Phoenician Resort. The boys [...]

We just recently discovered dehydrated kale at the local Farmer’s Market. At almost $4 a tub and at the amount we eat, we decided to get a dehydrator of our own. With a few experimental batches, I finally got the kale recipe right. Toby also loves eating his new snack of “green chips”. They are [...]

Toby turned 2 years old on August 28 this year. We spent a long weekend (Wednesday thru Sunday) at Lolo and Lola’s house in San Diego where Toby and Tyler visited Legoland (twice!!) and went to the club pool a couple times as well. Needless to say, it was HOT in San Diego. All the [...]

San Diego can get hot during the summer days, but when San Diego gets really hot, heading for the beach or a pool is ideal. But, if you’ve got 2 growing boys (or girls), the new water park at Legoland is THE place to hang out. This is probably the best water park I’ve ever [...]

Every summer, Action Day, Primary Plus – Mountain View has a fun-filled calendar of activities. Each week there are specific themes (ie. International Week, Pirate Week, Animal Week, etc.) On certain days of the week, they also have water days, special snack days, trip to the park, etc. One of the things Tyler really enjoys [...]

I have some friends who are in the process of writing a recipe book. I was lucky enough to be chosen to beta test some of their recipes. The book has an emphasis on using all organic ingredients and also have an Asian and Hawaiian influence (how perfect is that for me?!). So far I’ve [...]
