My sister-in-law was visiting us on Oahu from California. She came across Little Plumeria Farms and wanted to go! After looking at their website I thought this would be such a fun activity for all of us to do including my 14 month old toddler!

The Dole Plantation is a very popular tourist attraction for people coming to Oahu. I believe it is also a great place to take your toddler!

Hiking Manoa Falls on Oahu with a toddler is SO MUCH FUN! I did not grow up going on many hikes so I am not very experienced or have the stamina for long hikes however Manoa Falls is perfect! It is an uphill hike and located in the jungle parts of Oahu. Since I am not an experienced hiker, my endurance is very short, meaning I can only do about a mile.

Do you have a Gymboree near you!? If you do, I would recommend you look into their classes and programs that they offer!

Are you planning a beach day with your young toddler? Going to the beach can be so much fun and to make the most of it I always planned out the day.

When I was pregnant I knew I wanted to try to breastfeed my daughter. I didn’t know anything about breastfeeding and did little research. I took two birth classes that briefly went over the pros and cons to breastfeeding and what I should have on hand. For example, having a breast pump, bottles, a Hakka and some nipple cream was important.

When you first find out you’re pregnant and you’re staring at the two pink lines you feel a mix of emotions. For me I was so excited to be lucky enough to carry this little fetus in me protecting it from the outside world. I was prepared for my belly to grow bigger, my boobs to get larger, for my stomach to get stretch marks and for some odd pregnancy cravings. What I was not expecting was to be so nauseated that I wouldn’t be able to eat anything for nine entire months.

Preparing for birth is one of the most important things I did. From taking two different birth classes, to listening to hundreds of different birth stories and even watching Youtube videos of people’s births. It consumed me for the second half of my pregnancy. I was listening and learning everything I could to prepare myself for what was to come.
