Sweet E's Cafe

I think I've disclaimed this about myself before, but I am the furthest thing from a food connoisseur.  My taste buds are simple and don't require anything out of the ordinary to get a thumbs from me.  I guess, I eat to get full, not to nibble and taste. 

So, according to me, this new cafe that we tried Sunday morning gets a 7 (out of 10) for food and a 9 for ambience.  Sweet E's Cafe is an unassuming little spot tucked away in Kilohana Square (just below Kristen Wood Salon, where I get my lashes done).  Shane ordered the kalua eggs benedict and I got the chicken pesto omlette.  Huge portions btw, but what I particularly loved about this little nook of a cafe, was the well lit, shabby chic decor.  If you're ever put off by the ridiculous wait at Cafe Kaila (in Market City), Sweet E's is just down the street and equivalent in food quality, but superior in ambience.  

If you don't trust my opinion, take it from Willow ; )

my down ass husband

Every year my best friend, Sass, invites me to the Gift Foundation Halloween Party, a super swanky costume gala where EVERYONE goes ALL out.  Don't you dare not come in your best thought of costume. Of course I, as with most girls, used this once a year opportunity to dress up like a slutty whatever.  The best part of my costume however, was Shane.  How dope is he, to allow me to do this to him? Hahaha, the only time I will ever have to carry HIS lipstick in my purse. Uh... and I kind of have to brag about my hair & make-up skills (on Shane).  Just saying. LOL. Well, a lot of drunken debauchery occurred this night, but I'm saving those pics for facebook. 

Have a fun and safe Halloween everyone!

ps- Willow's first Halloween tomorrow!!! Stayed tuned for her pics!

Do you miss me yet? Hahaha! Is it ok for me to say that "I miss me?"

It's been so long since my last post, I have blogging withdrawals.  When I was pregnant, I was able to maintain my busy work schedule and social life without skipping a beat. Pregnancy was so easy on me, that I naively assumed once I popped Willow out, I could be super mom.  

I imagined I could do it all... maintain a clean & organized home, run a business and website, have time for the besties, keep my workout regimen, give Vinny the same amount of attention, pamper myself, put on make-up everyday and continue fashion blogging all while feeding, bathing, sleeping and nurturing a little human being.  

"Pop" <---- That was my bubble bursting.

Some things just had to give…

I never work out (it's a blessing that breastfeeding burns tons of calories). 

I let my pedicures go for months before finally removing the sliver of remaining polish.

Make-up is secondary to more sleep in the morning.

Bestie GNO's are far, far, far and few, few, few between. So sad. 

And blogging? Well, by the time I have a few moments all to myself at night, my brain is dead from trying to be the super mom I thought I could be. 

But you know what I realize? That being a super mom doesn't mean doing it all. It means knowing what your limits are in order to be the best for your little one.  Every decision I make, I think about how it would affect her future (short term and long term).  Any sacrifice from my usual routine is what is needed to make HER world perfect and her well being takes precedence over anything.

So if this means blogging only once a month, then so be it.  If you guys are still out there, I hope you stick around : )!!!
