These are a few of my favorite things...
J Caroline Creative - They have tons of cute fabrics, including Modern Flora by Jessica Jones (of how about orange) and Michael Miller's Hula Hut fabric. I get inspired just going on to their website.
Sig Zane Designs - Sig Zane is from Hilo and has the most fabulous designs! You can check out how he designs his fabric by watching this video. All of his clothes are distinctly Hawaiian, but without the cheese. I miss walking into the beautiful, newly-renovated shop for some eye candy.
USAA - It's amazing in and of itself that I like a bank. And I LOVE ours. Seriously, USAA is fantastic. We use them for almost everything! And it's open to civilians too - check it out.
Island Goddess LipglossGreat product with a fabulous scent. I love that stuff, and carry at least one in every purse. It's just wonderful.
Honey Girl SwimsuitsSome are cut a bit too small for me, but they're really cute (see example above)! She uses adorable prints... oh, this site in and of itself is enough to make me want to lose the extra weight I've gained since we left Hawai'i.
Etsy!I love Etsy! So much fun to look... I could spend a whole lot of money on there. Just search the world "hula" and pretty much everything you end up with (minus the hula hoops) is on my favorite's list. Some of my favorite things are over in that box to the left.
Paloma's Nest (on etsy)I bought one of these little bowls as a wedding present (it had their names and wedding date on it) and was totally adorable. How cute would it be for a ring dish by the sink?
Pillow Modern - ok, so you got me. I haven't actually bought anything from there. But, I know the owner and her husband, and they're cool. If I needed (aka was allowed) to buy pillows, I would buy them here. So cute!

Kid talk
"What in the snowangel are you doing?
"Miss Julie, Mark does not want to marry you." (on the playground, completely unprompted.)
(btw... DH was very relieved to hear he has no competition from this 4 year old. Just kidding - he knows I'm all his.)
"I. AM. A. PICKLE!" (shouted while in the bathroom)
"Ah, that's what I really needed." (after getting a drink)
"I really, really hurt. I hurt to death."
Child sits down on the bench next to me.
"Are you ok?" - me
"Just resting my legs." - him (what 4 year old needs to rest his legs after 20 minutes on a playground??)
"I'll be the princess. You be the snake."
"I'm going to get a hyena at the hyena store. I need three of them." (this coming from a child whose dad tells him he coughs "like a puma.")

Camera help
After saving up my hard-earned money, I bought a new digital SLR! I had been wanting one for a while (aka over a year) and we saved up enough to buy one. Now I just have to figure out how to use it! I'm really excited about the possibilities though - SLR's offer so many options!
But I have two questions for anyone who can help -
1. What kind of camera bag should I get? I'm looking for one to carry the camera body itself as well as a lens or a few lenses... If only shootsac offered something like that, oh, and if only shootsacs were affordable on a preschool teacher assistant salary.
2. What is a good second lens to get? Now I have the 18-55 mm lens that came with the camera, and I like it. I'm trying to figure out what I should get next. I intend to use it for travel photography (like when we go to Australia in a few months) and to take better of dh when he's surfing. Any suggestions? I have a Canon XTi.
