Meet my friend Summer
Friends, I want to introduce you to my friend Summer. She is a mom of 5 beautiful keikis, she's a masseuse (still haven't had a freebee though), and she is a great bargain hunter (best garage sale'n partner!) She has been such a huge help to our family as we transitioned to this whole new world called Kauai. We are the same exact size and even share the same maiden name. This picture was taken on a night that we attempted to go out. I picked her up wearing dark jeans and a brown tank top and of course she was wearing the same exact thing. I knew she was a true friend who understood me when we were at a garage sale in Hanamalu (no offense but slightly ghetto) and she picked up this piece of fabric that was brown with orange and yellow flowers on it (totally from the late 70's) and says "Shannan, this looks like you." When others would have said "gooo, that's hideous." Yep, she had me at hanamalu.

St Patty's
Well yesterday was St Patty's day and I knew it was but I didn't tell the kids until 4:00 when we were headed to the grocery store and going to check the mail. Taylor was a little disturbed saying, "Mom, how could you go the whole day without telling us?" I simply didn't think it was a big deal since they weren't going to be in school and wouldn't be teased or pinched for not wearing green. So we had some fun by making some green rice to go with our tamale pie. It was so easy to do and delicious too. Just throw some salad greens, cilantro, green onions, cumin, salt, olive oil and splash of water in a blender and mix til the chunks are gone. Just combine with some cooked brown rice and consume.
