First and foremost, we are truly blessed…the past few years living in Hawaii have been an experience of a lifetime! Mahalo to everyone who has been a part of that experience; we hope to be so lucky when we move to the Portland area! After all the relocation chaos of packing, shipping, cleaning, etc., I…
Coming from Hawaii, Christmas in California feels like the North Pole…those are some serious life issues! But nothing a trip to Disneyland can’t resolve 🙂 Wifey was pretty bummed that we missed Hello Kitty Con 2014 earlier this year (check out Tricia’s post here http://fatlace.com/2014/10/hello-kitty-con/), so we sacrificed some family time during this trip to…
