Holiday events and parties around town

by Julie Yang

December 09, 2008

In trying to compile a whole bunch of Christmas events and activities for you in one place, I've come to find that you really need to plan in Honolulu in order do these things. There are a bunch of breakfasts and events with Santa that could be really fun for our kids, but they get sold out in November. So it would do you no good if I were to list those events here. I know.

Traditions for my Island Christmas

by Julie Yang

December 02, 2008

"It's tradition!" It's a line from "Ever After" (the movie starring Drew Barrymore that I should be embarrassed to admit I like, but I'm not) that I use whenever I want to do something that my husband from the mainland doesn't want to do with the family for the holidays. He's from a family that really didn't do much, so it' s a bit of a tug of war that gets revved up during the holidays, Read more...

Book Love at Your Child's Preschool

by Julie Yang

November 26, 2008

I recently attended my very first book fair. I don't remember them from when I attended school. The surprising thing is that even though it was my first book fair, I somehow ended up as the chairperson of the book fair committee. What happened is, I responded to one of those letters I found in Noah's mailbox at his preschool, asking for volunteers. When I called, it turned Read more...

Places for Fun When the Playdate Has an Age Range

by Julie Yang

September 29, 2008

The reality is that, at this age, when play groups get together, there is no age. Unless there's some sort of formal invitation or discussion before, it's customary for your child's playmate's siblings to come along. I bring Natalie along whenever I can, especially because we don't really have family here and it's such a hassle to always schedule a sitter. Keeping this in mind, Read more...

Growth Chart Marker: Carnival rides

by Julie Yang

June 11, 2008

It doesn't take the growth chart at the doctor's office to tell me that Noah's grown. I can tell by how much more I understand him when he speaks, or how his favorite toys are getting more complicated. But surprisingly, I see his obvious growth mostly at carnivals and fairs. When we first moved back to Hawaii , Noah was one. At his first Punahou Carnival, he rode on the Read more...
