help get the word out oahu moms!

Got this email tonight: (sorry the format copied over a bit crazy)
Aloha friends!
We are holding a series of information meetings to discuss starting a
charter school. We have already submitted our "Letter of Intent", and
are in the process of writing our "Detailed Implementation Plan" (DIP).
We will be gathering input and looking for members to serve on
committees and the interim local school board (ILSB). We will be
presenting our vision and ideas, discussing fundraising and grant ideas,
facilities, etc.
There are several options to attend:
Wednesday, July 7th at 10am at the Gunstock Ranch Pavilion in Laie, Hawaii
Wednesday, July 7th at 2pm online at

before hand to make sure you have all necessary plug-ins)
Thursday, July 8th at 6pm at the Gunstock Ranch Pavilion in Laie, Hawaii
We hope that you will attend one of the three above sessions to hear our
plans and to share your ideas! This is a statewide endeavor so please
forward this to all that may be interested! We will continue to hold
meetings. Please visit our website at

the schedule of meetings.

Ambrose doesn't even start school for two more years, but I have been hoping for this sort of thing for a while! It's nice to have more options and I will definitely be making an effort to attend one of the meetings to find out more information.

but this is way more important than anything else right now!

Thank you friends and family! What a nurturing bunch of people I get to have in my life. You are great.

I just had to share this right away because it freaks me out!

Remember when I got this shot?

Well, I knew it was an important thing to do, but it is more important than ever before.

Babies are dying and we all need to do our part.

Especially if you live in California!

Read more about it here!

And just go get your shot already please?

And thank you again for being so kind to me. Love you!

we can do this

"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life." 2 Nephi 31:20

because i love you and your babies

I finally got my adult TDAP (Pertussis) vaccination today and a shot has never felt so good because

I love you

and your babies

and it feels good to be part of a solution instead of a problem.

Because I might actually get to meet my brand new niece this summer, and my friends are in their childbearing years, and I may be crazy enough to add another crazy to our little family of crazies someday.


Because it's important to be responsible and protect our little ones.


Because someone I love has been hurt. And I love her and all her babies.


Because it feels good to be proactive.

Schedule your appointment today because you can. If your primary care physician won't order the shot for you there are other doctors who can. My doctor didn't have the shot, but Nattie Hopewell in Kahuku did. If you're local the Hauula shopping center has a clinic who will administer the shot as well. It's an easy, small way to make a HUGE difference in your community.

Plus, you might get a really cool cartoon band-aid to wear around for the day. Win/Win.
