THE MYSTERY SPOT

You won't believe your eyes. There is such a strange phenomena going on at the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz, CA.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

what are your 4th of july traditions? last year lisa and i spent ours watching fireworks explode over the water while we sat on our surfboards. it was insane. such a rush being out in the dark water with the dark sky, waiting for fireworks to crack and fill the sky with flashes of light and sparkly explosions. makes my heart tingle. wishing you a most magical 4th of july this summer. 

SIX FLAGS MAGIC MOUNTAIN

Feel like blacking out and throwing up? Okay, just kidding (maybe). But really, Six Flags played a number on my body! After about 10 roller coasters straight I thought I was going to die. My husband Chase and I went on 13 rides in a row within a four hour period. I was so proud of myself for surviving---such a feat! Six Flags is such a fun place and makes for a great summer date. Just keep in mind that with gnarly rides comes it's lovely friend motion sickness. See how much you can handle by checking out a Six Flags near you. Summer is the perfect time to go and give you an excuse to eat funnel cake :)!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Kylie, Lisa and Megan circa 1988 with one hot mama

The mother of all mothers. Super mom. We love you. The world is just so much better because you're in it. We have no idea how you did it. We have no idea how you stayed sane. All we know is that you did, and you did it with amazing grace, patience and love. We feel so blessed to be your daughters.



Happy Mother's Day, lovely readers! We hope all of you out there, whether you're a mother or just have mother's to love in your life, are enjoying your day to its fullest. Because YOU DESERVE IT.

Here's a little video I made of Meggie and her Van bug last Fall. Since she's the only mother of the three of us, I think it's special to do what I can to capture those moments that are so fleeting in a woman's lifelong journey of motherhood. Cherish your mothers.

TIGERLIGHT PEACEKEEPER MINI

We stumbled upon this project on Indiegogo and had to tell you about it! It is just too good!

It's called the Tigerlight Peacekeeper Mini. The Peacekeeper Mini is a self-defense device that combines a flashlight and pepper spray. It even has BlueTooth and GPS technology, you know what that means? If someone decides to jump you in a creepy alley or something bad happens while you're traveling, this thing will alert your phone and other's you have selected to receive the alert to send for help immediately! I don't know how they came up with this thing, but it's going to be a life saver.

We would love to see this project get funded and they need your support to help bring this new product to the market! Just think of the difference we can make. Remember, SAFETY FIRST!

CABALLOS IN MEXICO

Ensenada, Mexico

We rode some horses and had a jolly good time. I always take horse excursions when traveling, for some reason or another (I used to be a horse freak, remember?) Cost about $20 for two people to ride for about half an hour, but be sure to negotiate because I know you can get a better price than that :) *All filmed on iPhone 4S

TASTY TUESDAY - WESTSIDE DRIVE-IN

Destination: Westside Drive In / Location: Boise, Idaho / Price: Under $10

Is that not the most delicious potato you've ever seen? Idaho really does it best.

...April Fool's!
 It's ice-cream. No but really, tho.

Ice-cream rolled into the shape of a potato,
covered in cocoa, frozen and cut in half,
then topped with whipped cream
all on a plate of chocolate syrup.

It looks just like a baked potato, but it's not.
Stop by Westside Drive In for Idaho's famous ice-cream potato,
and other good food too made by a certified Chef!

TWINSTERS

We are so blessed to be triplets and have each other to share life with. The bond of an identical triplet/twin/whatever multiple you are is unbeatable. This video is about twin sisters who were separated at birth, raised on different continents, and connected as adults through social media. Even when the odds weren't in their favor, they found each other.

We hope you too can make a pledge and feel inspired to share their heartwarming story.

2013 IN REVIEW

2013 was an amazing year for us! It brought many adventures that we have loved sharing with you here on this blog. We each feel so blessed with our lives thus far and hope to keep on embracing the good and sharing tid bits along the way. Here's to 2013's best moments!

JANUARY

To kick off a new year Megan HAD A BABY! So wonderful. I spent a week in Mexico lounging and exploring while the boys surfed the big waves and Kylie showed me the ins and outs of LA.

FEBRUARY

In February, being the month of love and all, we decided to make a video. Then Kylie took these AMAZING pictures while camping the California coast, while I checked out the Volcom Pipe Pro and Megan was busy introducing me to her brand new baby as I helped her move into a new house.

MARCH

All good things happen in March. Such as dreaming of where to go for spring break, which Megan did happily (well deserved from a new mama). Kylie was busy finding constellations and taking the most gorgeous photos (which are available for purchase) of a starry night at Joshua Tree and I was hiking' it up in Oahu.

APRIL

April was a fun month. My parents visited me in Hawaii and stayed at the most awesome beach hut on the North Shore. Kylie was busy preparing for her trip to film in Haiti and Megan was learning what it was like to eat out with a baby. Fun times.

MAY

 Kylie got to spend 24 hours in New York then shortly after hopped on a plane to Hawaii to visit me for our birthday! All the while we were missing Megan every second as she was busy with her new baby and being a cute mommy. Either way, we each celebrated our Golden Birthday, 25 on the 25th!

JUNE

In June Kylie and I were busy frolicking around Hawaii's beaches getting super tan and eating delicious crepes. Since we love food so much and Ky is so awesome at making videos, she went ahead and made a fun video of a delicious meal to eat while camping. You're welcome. And lets not forget. Meg mastered the art of road tripping with a baby. 

JULY

Summer is the best time of year, so of course we spent it outside as much as possible. Kylie and I enjoyed exploring Spitting Caves and jumping off a fair amount of cliffs. Kylie also shared how to pack to move abroad, incredibly helpful. And our Megs took a beautiful and much needed road trip to our family cabin in Cascade. What a treat!

AUGUST

I spent my sunny days underwater, falling in love with the art of "shelling". Kylie spread the good word of an awesome sandal from Rope Souls and Megan was busy promoting her business at a trade show in Vegas, which got her into many awesome stores including Anthropologie and Free People. Amazing.

SEPTEMBER

DAY DREAMING oh wait THIS IS REAL. Kylie reminisced about her wonderful summer living in Hawaii while Meg was sure to document her many fun "van ventures" and I shared a tidbit about our trip to the Oregon Coast.

OCTOBER

October was cool. We love the fall and the change of the leaves (for those of us who have seasons). I beach hopped and dove into beautiful tide pools (i know), Kylie made the most dreamy Hawaii video in all the land, and Megan made a stellar beginner's camp guide and went to the cutest corn maze. Oh and don't worry. We all dressed up for Halloween.

NOVEMBER

What a beautiful month this was in Idaho. Kylie got to visit Megan and explore the beautiful rivers fishing with the Hollenbacks. Megan and Drew were sure to teach her the ancient art of fishing with Tenkara. Kylie also began sharing her touching and beautiful videos of her stay in Haiti, while I was lucky enough to meet one of our readers in Hawaii!

DECEMBER 

OUR FAVORITE MONTH! Christmas was nearing but before the holidays got too crazy, I moved from my aina home on Oahu back to the mainland and now reside in Southern California. I had to soak up the beautiful island days before they ended. Back in Idaho Meg was attending all the Christmas events she could, patiently awaiting the arrival of Kylie and I. And Kylie was able to squeeze in a quick weekend getaway cruise to Mexico. 

Shortly following, we all three met up in Idaho for Christmas and enjoyed a solid 3-4 weeks together! 2014, we are ready for ya!
