Much love Natasha

“Whatever hour God has blessed you with, take it with a grateful hand.” – Horace

There are times in life when we may not be able to understand everything, or even the meaning of life… but whatever you face, be thankful.  We are not meant to immediately understand it, but in due season it will all come together with grace.  God never gives us anything that we can’t handle.

~ reminding myself to be grateful, Natasha

Ala Moana Christmas!

It’s a kick start to the holidays here in Honolulu!  The decorations at Ala Moana Shopping center are already up everywhere!  I believe even Santa is almost here and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet!  Crazy!  It seems as if everyone has started shopping for the holidays, perhaps to beat the holiday rush…  I am happy to say that it was a successful shopping day for me too!  I luv it!

~ loving the holiday spirit, Natasha

Coming of Age!

Ari prepares for her 20 year old celebration!  It is her picture day, and here she is showing us that she can go from crazy to beautiful! Ari,  your Hilo family wishes you the best for many more celebrations to come.  May you grow with grace and may all of your dreams come true!  We love you so much!  Thank God that kimono is not purple!  Haha!

~ so proud of you, Tasha

Having fun without me?

Here is Kamanu and Heco celebrating and eating at a famous Udon shop in Roppongi!  Hey!  Are you having too much fun without me?  Haha!  Oh, seeing these photos really makes me realize how much I miss you!  You all look wonderful!  Miss you and love you!  See you soon!

So Beautiful!

This girl is so beautiful!  Jun Hasegawa went to  high school in Hilo with my brother and many of the hula girls.  She is absolutely stunning and I love that she talks about Hilo a lot!  Her style is one-of-a-kind and we are proud that she represents our hometown of Hilo!  So Fabulous!
