Hawaii Nest

Funniest thing that has happened to me in awhile? One of the most ridiculous things that has happened to me in awhile? The dirtiest looks that I’ve received in awhile? All this folks, at your island TJ Maxx. Yep…..with Deia. Spencer, Gavin, Deia and I made a stop at good ol’ TJ Maxx to … Continue reading “She Loud. She Funny. You Leave.”

We moved in to “home” almost a week ago. We don’t have much of our stuff yet, as it’s all being shipped over from California. So it didn’t take us long to get what we do have in here. It has been pretty wonderful putting things away knowing that we are here to stay. I … Continue reading Home

After Gavin met Teacher Nancy last week, and cried for 20 seconds about it, we were unsure how today would go. For the last few days we talked about it a bit, and stayed really positive and kept talking it up. At a birthday party on Saturday, he saw the little girl that he met … Continue reading First Day of School for Gavin

When I wrote a post on July 18th, the day before we moved over here that it was the last day we’d be living out of a suitcase, it slipped my mind that we still had to find our “perfect house.” So it’s been two weeks since then, and we’re still living out of our … Continue reading Gettin Creative

But it did not start off so fun. It was just “one of those hours” when everything was wrong and nothing was right. And it took MANY deep breaths and moments of silence and lots of grounding and surrendering and prayers for laughter and patience.

Deia is now standing for about a minute on her own. And the other day when Spencer and Gavin got home, she stood up by herself from kneeling, and took FOUR steps toward them!! When she isn’t thinking too much about what is going on, she just does it. Easy as pie….she goes for it. … Continue reading Trust & Surrender = Growth

….about how you will make it all work. Just focus on how you feel and go towards those things that bring forth joy. When you are living in your joy, the Universe is living joyfully through you. When you are living a life of fear, the Universe is dying and becoming smaller. Remember you are … Continue reading “do not worry….

Today was a big day for Gavin. But not as big as next Tuesday. We got to go see his little school and he met his Teacher today. We went while there were no other kids there and he was amazed at all the incredible toys in this classroom. But we don’t call them toys- … Continue reading Gavin’s New Job(s)

I think we got through the sludge!…. All that uncertainty and fear and anxiety definitely came. And went! And we never really let it stay for long. I would say a healthy amount, but we had trust and faith in the Universe. We’re making the place we’re staying at feel more homey until we find … Continue reading Moving Past It….in a Minivan

Last night I could tell Spencer and I were getting overwhelmed and fear was setting in!….. after a couple visits to the store where we put down some serious cash on what seemed like nothing…. but it’s all good. It’s worth it in fact. And we are both glad we have a Costco card for … Continue reading Day Three Update
