Happy Mothers Day to all you beautiful, wonderful mothers out there! Sonia's daughter Jade here, and I wanted to shine the spotlight on my amazing mama on this special day for the incredible woman she is, and all that she gives to those she loves...for those of you who have had the pleasure of meeting her I'm sure you can tell the depth of her heart, she is constantly sharing it with others. So today we had the joy of celebrating her with a relaxing morning at home, enjoying the company of my youngest brother as he recently returned home from college. For a moment he and I were lying in bed with mom while she was on the phone with our other brother who is still in college finishing the year, so she managed to still have all three of her babies 'nearby'. We had a delicious brunch in Sprecklesville followed by a fabulous afternoon and evening at baby beach with family friends to keep her laughing and loving every minute...we are so lucky to live in Hawaii! Topped off the evening with a glass of champagne and a fresh lilikoi chiffon cake, and it seemed the (almost) perfect day, only missing my brother in California but he was certainly here in spirit!

Here are a few pictures of our beautiful Mothers Day celebration...hope you mamas were properly celebrated today, you certainly deserve it!!! And a very special Happy Mothers Day to our beautiful mama, the woman who is the heart of our family and the best role model I know!

Being that mother's day is right around the corner, it means the annual Seabury Hall Craft Fair is too! This wonderful event is one that is close to our family's hearts, as all three of our children attended Seabury for intermediate and high school, so this is the first year in nearly 15 years that we will not be working a booth as parents of current students, but rather attending and enjoying the craft fair as alumni parents. 

For those of you who have not had the opportunity to attend yet, I urge you to spend Saturday perusing the many wonderful local vendors sharing their talents, fantastic entertainment (including my youngest son home from college who will be performing at noon), delicious and diverse food booths, a fantastic silent auction, scrumptious homemade baked goods, gorgeous local produce (mother's day flower bouquets from craft fair are always a hit!), and tons of games and activities for the kids! 

Located in beautiful Olinda just above Makawao Town, you can enjoy the largest craft fair on the island, which supports our students as the proceeds of Seabury's Craft Fair all sponsor student scholarships...so your contributions will directly support a student's education there. So come find a gift for your mother, enjoy a beautiful upcountry day, great food, crafts and fun for everyone! Click here for more information
