I don’t know about you, but when a business also has a shop pet, I am instantly more in love with their store. It’s likely even a driving factor behind my visit, especially if they have a shop cat. I also really love it when their shop pets have a strong social media presence! And many of Indianapolis’ famous furry faces also captivate their store’s social media following. I’ve been sitting on the idea of […]
The final leg of our trip to Hawaii ended in Maui. We had two full days on the island, plus a half day when island hopped from The Big Island. We didn’t do a lot of sight-seeing on our travel day, instead hitting up a few spots to find souvenirs. Maui was also the island with the most whale activity and we were there at peak whale season. You could see them off the coast, […]
In my previous post, I shared about our three days on Oahu. In this one, we’ll be traveling to the Big Island of Hawaii! Even though it’s just a short plane ride away from Oahu, it’s a very different island and experience. There seemed to be much fewer tourists and the landscapes were even different. After picking up our rental at the tiny, mostly outdoor airport in Hilo, we headed to our first stop at […]

My mom and I visit three of the islands: Oahu, Hawaii (aka The Big Island) and Maui. We discovered that each island has its own personality, charm and beautiful landscapes even though they’re just short plane rides away from each other. Our flight left Indianapolis with […]
The only goal in the new year I really set is a reading goal! Since I didn’t hit 90 in 2023, I’m going to keep that same goal for 2024 and there are some books I’m really excited to read in the new year. The next Sarah J. Maas installment in the Crescent City series?? Yes, please! Some of these titles are hotly anticipated 2024 releases that are sure to top the bestseller list and […]
I didn’t hit my Goodreads goal for the year and am so far behind, that unless I read a bunch of picture books, it’s just not going to happen for 2023! As of writing this, I’ve finished 81 for the year out of my goal of 90 books. Not too shabby! There were a lot of duds this year. I don’t really know why, but it seemed like a lot of 2 and 3 star […]
