Even though I have been to Hawaii before, I never had the chance to attend a real Luau before. Which is why this was at the top of my list for this trip! After doing a lot of research on the best Luau to attend near Kona, Hawaii, I decided on the Mauna Kea Luau. The Mauna Kea Luau is held ever Tuesday and Friday, starting at 5:30pm. It is located at the Mauna Kea Beach hotel – which is gorgeous! Created for Newsweek magazine back in the 60’s The Mauna Kea Hawaiian Lū‘au completes the experience with a taste…

I love that the Chef Partners are able to showcase their creativity and skill throughout these…

In addition to a caffeine boost, it has become a ritual that every weekend afternoon Manuel and I sit down together and enjoy a cup while discussing our week. When Cameron’s Coffee first reached out, I immediately drove to my local Hy-Vee grocery store and bought a few different flavors that they offer. I had seen them in multiple stores before, but I hadn’t given them a…
Updating our Living Room with Rugs.com
When we first moved into our current house, we didn’t really have anything. Since we moved from Germany to Iowa, we had to essential buy everything again. This led to a few mis-matched pieces that just didn’t fit. Therefore, I was so excited to update our living room with Rugs.com! *This post is sponsored by Rugs.com, however, all opinions are my own. Last year, we had purchased a jute rug, which wasn’t the right size and it just didn’t feel “comfortable” to us. I wanted something soft and plush that the dogs could actually lay on and enjoy. When I…
