I get a lot of questions about the cost of living in Hawaii and the cost of visiting Hawaii. I mean, it’s only natural, right? I think that planning a trip to Hawaii can be overwhelming, but not impossible. I also think that it’s possible to plan a trip to Hawaii on a budget. I got a suggestion from a reader to do a post on how to plan a vacation to Oahu on a budget and I thought it was such a good idea, especially given the recent decline in airfare. Seriously friends, if you’ve been considering a trip to Hawaii, now is the time to book. Airfare is as cheap as $330 roundtrip – no joke! (8...…I get a lot of questions about the cost of living in Hawaii and the cost of visiting Hawaii. I mean, it’s only natural, right?

Looking for an easy photo editing tip? Here’s how to make a cloudy sky blue using SnapseedToday’s post is for all my friends who use the photo editing app Snapseed. It’s a fun app that can easily do a ton of different things for editing photos, but today I wanted to share one of my very favorite techniques – adding a blue sky. We’ve all been there – we have photos that we love, but what the heck is going on with the sky?! I know for myself and anyone else here on Oahu, the sun has been completely sparse for all of 2018. LAME! Seriously – I think it’s beginning to mess with my psyche! Anyway...…Looking for an easy photo editing tip?

Interested in budgeting? Today I’m sharing how we doubled our savings account in one year!Let’s chat savings, shall we? When Dane and I first got married we had about 792584 different savings accounts – his, mine, ours, IRAs, CDs, Christmas club accounts, rainy day funds. It was getting really confusing! One of the very first “married tasks” I did was streamline our finances.My mom is a financial professional, so I get it honestly I think 😉 I’ve touched a little bit on the topic of savings before (How We Budget), but when I shared the post about how we save over $550/month, I got quite a...…Interested in budgeting?

Looking to treat your best friend with a seasonal treat? Whip up some pumpkin ice cream for dogs this fall.If you’ve ever spent any time around my dogs, you know that they enjoy their fair share of dog ice cream! We give Judy and Bill ice cream year round, so it’s fun to switch it up when the seasons start to change. I had pumpkin on hand from another pumpkin recipe I was making and didn’t want it to go to waste, so I decided to add it to their ice cream rotation. Whether you want to treat your own dog or have dog friends coming into town for the holidays, don’t miss this pumpkin ice cream...…Looking to treat your best friend with a seasonal treat?
