Ka’ena Point Hike & Bird Sanctuary – Oahu

We’ve desperately been missing hiking (well, at least Sam and I are) so we decided to drive to the dry side of the island and check out the Ka’ena Point Trail. You can hike two different ways to the point (from the south or Farrington Hwy) and while I’ve heard the south trail is preferable…

Filled with Gratitude

A few weeks ago I gave a talk in our local church meeting about gratitude. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to reflect on the principle a bit more and am realizing that too often I am expressing the negative instead of the positive about our current situation. Change is hard. We lovingly say that…

    I feel much the same way about my year as you have about yours. I have been trying to do a gratitude journal too, but quite unsuccessfully!! You inspire me to do it better!ReplyCancel

Everyday Life in Laie, Hawaii

Hawaii has this (deserved) reputation for beautiful beaches, palm trees, killer waves, and amazing food. While Hawaii is definitely all that and more, day to day life is quite…

  • Oh so many memories!! I spent 3 years at BYU-H and by the end, I was so in need of time off of the island. 10 years later though all I want to do is go back so I totally understand.ReplyCancel

The Problem With Being a Minimalist Snob

We’ve happily been minimalists for the last four years. After the great purge of 2014 and hitting the road, less stuff was liberating. We enjoyed less overall consumerism and prioritizing experiences over things. We still own stuff, its just that most of our purchases are deliberate and items tend to serve at least three purposes…

  • Loved this post. Moving from the 5th wheel to the Class B was a challenge. I had all the things I thought I needed in the 5th wheel. But, the downsizing forced me to keep what was really needed and defined us.

    Praying that you are able to find comfort in your Hawaiian experience.ReplyCancel

  • Great post! I spent 2 weeks in Hawaii back in y2000, and did NOT want to return home (‘course, I never wanted to go home from a vacation…) exactly because of the laid-back vibe you describe. Hair in a ponytail, shorts & flipflops, out the door. I’m enjoying your Instagram pics, too. Aloha!ReplyCancel

Summer Wrap Up and Fall Plans

After our busy spring schedule, I made the conscious decision to not blog over the summer and it was such a relief! We’ve had a fabulous couple of months back in the Airstream and thoroughly enjoyed spending quite a bit of time with family and friends as we’ve explored.  At some point, I hope to…
