Jackson and I went surfing with Pénélope while she was here with us (she’s our French exchange student). It was a small day at “The Cove” – perfect for surfing with baby. It was just our third time out on my longboard together. For other surfer mamas out there – the water wings work… Read More
A photo of an ulua choking on a puffer fish has gone viral this week. I interviewed the family that helped bring it to shore and spoke to a marine biologist about the event for some insight. #uluaVSpuffer It was a hot, sunny Sunday in Kihei. A couple of fishermen were out… Read More
After 45 years in business the Lahaina Kaanapali & Pacific Railroad is operating their last passenger service route from Lahaina to Pu’ukoli’i. The Sugar Cane Train, as it’s affectionately called, has one diesel train and two steam engines. Since news of the shutdown broke 6 days ago, it’s been sold out. Tourists… Read More
My last blog on this topic was to hopefully recruit some new families on OAHU that would be willing to host a French student THIS summer. (By the way, they still need families!! The students get here on August 3rd! Please email me if you’re interested or know someone who might be – HERE… Read More
I have to admit, I was tentative and not fully committed to the idea of receiving a French exchange student in my home.

The “Taste of Chocolate” at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea is an event I truly look forward to! I’ve covered it before for Hawaii News Now so I already knew how amazing the chocolate, drinks and atmosphere was.

Evan Rachel Wood has been in movies with Ryan Gosling and George Clooney (Ides of March) and is a phenomenal singer but to be honest with you I actually didn’t really know who she was. That definitely changed. Evan did the press interviews and photos like the rest of the celebrities – we in… Read More
It’s a SMALL world! A couple months ago I went to LA to be a contestant on Hollywood Game Night (click on the link to view episode)… Joe Manganiello was on the week prior! (Here is his episode) We literally were ships passing in the night. Crazy to think that I was so close to being… Read More
I’d imagine that red carpets and back-to-back interviews could get a little exhausting for an actress. Reporters are asking the same questions and repeating yourself over and over isn’t… well, fun. If that’s the case, I didn’t get that vibe from Emma Roberts. She and her fiancé, Evan Peters, are in town for the Maui… Read More
We just got back from the first night of the Maui Film Festival. What a great night! Work hard, play hard… my camera guy, Jon, came to pick me up and we were at the Seaside Cinema at the Grand Wailea around 6:30 / 6:45pm – from the Elevators on the 4th floor you… Read More
