Stuff I Love...: October 2014
http://haunani-stuffilove.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Have I already said that more than you'd like to read it. Sometimes my enthusiasm for this holiday becomes a little too much for the people in my home, too. I had leftover candy eyeballs from some Scout activity, and it turns out that Halloween is the perfect time to use those kinds of leftovers. It's the one day that you can get away with adding eyeballs to just about anything and people love it! I got more than one text from some happily surprised kiddos after lunch. :). After...

Stuff I Love...: March 2015
http://haunani-stuffilove.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Umyesterday's post made me sound like I went into complete withdrawals because I gave up Diet DP and Instagram for five days. It turns out, without the blog or IG, I didn't really have a reason to take pictures. I passed flowering purple tree after flowering purple tree and I thought about taking pictures of them, but then realized there was nowhere to save them or share them, so I didn't bother. I love this talk. Neill F. Marriott. The talents I have are common ones that I share...

Stuff I Love...: Girls Camp 2015
http://haunani-stuffilove.blogspot.com/2015/06/girls-camp-2015.html
Thursday, June 11, 2015. Another year of Girls Camp has come and gone.thankfully, I did not have to go this year. . something about Texas heat and sleeping in tents and having limited access to bathroomsisn't all that appealing to me. But how very grateful I am for the wonderful YW leaders who sacrifice their comfortable beds, time with their families, and indoor plumbing to go camping for three days with my girls.and also remember to send me pictures! I just love those women. The reunion at home was pre...

Stuff I Love...: When 11 Year Old Boys are Bored
http://haunani-stuffilove.blogspot.com/2015/06/when-11-year-old-boys-are-bored.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2015. When 11 Year Old Boys are Bored. And "When will the girls be home? And my favorite, "It's SO quiet in the house without them.". This morning during an early spell of boredom he decided to unload the dishwasher and reorganize my tupperware cabinet. Hooray for me! A few hours later when I was up to my ears in packaging 25 lbs of raw chicken, he helped me wrap, tape and toss into the freezer, all 21 little packages. Again.hooray for me! And can I have some bread? View my complete prof...

Stuff I Love...: Marigolds
http://haunani-stuffilove.blogspot.com/2015/06/marigolds.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2015. I spent the past weekend in Utah and just got back last night. I had great plans and expectations for this trip, but as often is the case with plans and expectations, things didn't go quite as I had hoped. So I stopped right in the middle of Watters Road and took a quick picture, and then said a little prayer of gratitude and a silent apology for being frustrated this morning. And the disappointment turned into hope and joy. June 5, 2015 at 7:40 PM. Beautiful, my sweet friend.

Stuff I Love...: The Last Week of School
http://haunani-stuffilove.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-last-week-of-school.html
Friday, June 5, 2015. The Last Week of School. I have a love/hate relationship with the last week of school. It's SO busy and there is SO much going on for everyone, but it's also filled with so many of my favorite traditions. After five years of living here, and two prior 6th grade graduations, it was a little hard to watch my last graduate walk across that stage. But oh, is he ready for 7th grade and all that middle school will bring. The Last Day of School. End of the Year Party. Megan and Emma wanted...

Stuff I Love...: February 2015
http://haunani-stuffilove.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. On those days when I think I don't want to do anything, or interact with anyone, or make any effort to talk to another human being, I always find that if I do it anyway, I am happier. Last night, the sister missionaries texted and asked if they could come over to teach a lesson. I texted them back first thing this morning and said, "Absolutely yes! At first I didn't want to let them come because we had a few things scheduled. But fortunately, I had already said yes. But those s...

Stuff I Love...: Scripture Power
http://haunani-stuffilove.blogspot.com/2015/04/scripture-power.html
Sunday, April 19, 2015. My amazing friend, Jeanette taught Relief Society today on the Power of the Word. I came home from Church today and instead of dissecting another one of my hopelessly flawed lessons, I decided to re-read the RS lesson Jeanette taught. Here's what I read. SCRIPTURES = INSPIRATION IN CALLINGS. SCRIPTURES = INCREASED TESTIMONIES. SCRIPTURES = FORTIFIED FAMILIES. SCRIPTURES = FLOWING PERSONAL REVELATION. SCRIPTURES = PROSPERING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. 8220; And whoso treasureth up my word, ...

Stuff I Love...: April 2015
http://haunani-stuffilove.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Saturday was an eventful day for all of us. And I watched the website as the PHX to AUS flight went from "ON TIME" to "IN FLIGHT" status. I said another prayer that she had gotten on that flight because the thought of my 18-yr old sleeping in the PHX airport was making me nauseous. And then a text finally came:. Had to fly around and wait to land until the clouds parted and the rain stopped. Twenty minutes late, but who even cared at that point. Savannah had lots of great stories...
