Adventures with Shivaun: Part 2
Part 2: Even though we live on a tiny island where road trips are not really a thing, it’s still super fun to get on the road with friends and enjoy the ride.
Adventures with Shivaun: Part 1
Part 1: Spontaneously decided to take a drive around the island in the back of the truck… because if you know American Samoa at all…
CLOTHING SWAP
Clothing swaps are a fun way to reduce, reuse and recycle! We all got together for a yummy mix of breakfast foods, and piled our clothes and items on a heap in the middle of the room.
Spontaneous date nights around the island
Spontaneous date nights are the best. Especially when we skip the restaurant and just get on the road, have the best convos on the drive, and stop to appreciate the beauty all around us.
Rainbow moments with Shivaun
Last weekend in the treehouse with this golden gal, Shivaun. Talking stories and laughing with rainbows, then running from dark squalls and eating homemade chocolate truffles. She’s one of my faves.
Lucky to have this love
I’m so lucky to have this kind of love. You bring more love to my life than I ever could have expected. We’ve grown up a lot too. We’re that old couple that leaves the party early to go watch a movie in bed. I love you old man baby boy. Each year gets better with you.
Aunty Files: Merbaby and Friends
I think it’s important to gift my niece and nephew with things that are meaningful and memorable. My niece just turned 1 last month, and I have no idea what toys or clothes she already has. As her only aunt (read favorite aunt) I want to get her cute things!
Diary of an Aunty: Summer 2018
Oh my goodness time flies and these cuties just get cuter! I am so incredibly blessed to have the chance to go and visit my nephew and niece every year. It always feels like eons waiting for summer to come around and I can make the trip out to see them.

Two destination weddings in two weeks! Traveling soon, but here are some updates on my work life, personal life, and sustainable lifestyle.

A Lazy Flag Day for Me
Flag Day is a day of cultural performances for government employees and visiting dignitaries. American Samoa dependence day, and my lazy day.
Ian and Paolo surfing
The weekend before Paolo said tofā soifua American Samoa. Pua trees surf session looking dreamy at 7am, and my camera was all misty from the morning air.
Journal 11/52: Current Playlist
It’s been too long since I made a playlist. My iPod – which contained pretty much all my music was stolen and my hard drive backups crashed, and since then I’ve never bothered rebuilding my music library. Still I love music, I do.
