Repost @iamjoymoy: . What are your thoughts on holiday/Christmas photos? . We seem to bounce back and forth between being "on it" with Christmas-y stuff. Some years the cards are all ordered and ready to go as we change the calendars. And then there's years like this one where we can't seem to make the thing happen. . So friends, this might the only holidayish fam photo you get this year. We aren't really good about taking photos during holiday get-togethers but perhaps we will get some at a performance or at a meal with friends and family or on our Christmas light viewing. We carpe the candid photo diem all the time so check back to see what we end up doing this season...but we have never had pro pics taken so you are guaranteed not to see any of those. . Do you budget in pro pics for the Christmas card or do you like to use candids from special memories from through the year? Do you love receiving holiday cards in the mail or would you rather get a digital card in your inbox? . P.S. There's no one else I'd rather be doing life with than these 3 wackies. We are by far perfect. There is a whole lot we can all work on as individuals and as a family. But I'm thankful they put up with me and allow me to be a part of all they are doing. ❤️

Can we just say, “WOW?” When these arrived, we were amazed by how gorgeous these books are! @ellieclairegifts did an amazing job on the intricate details of each journal. We were very impressed by the quality of the last books we got that were from Museum of the Bible so we shouldn’t have been surprised. These are the perfect gift for yourself or anyone you know who will be encouraged to use art as a creative outlet of worship. Click the link in the profile to read more about each of these beautiful journals. . We also have several new reviews and giveaways up on the blog. Check them out and maybe you can finish your Christmas wish list or gifts list.

What are some must-buy items when you visit your local Asian market? . It's been awhile but we made a stop at the Asian market after some other errands. I really miss my SF Chinatown prices!!! We didn't have much time so we grabbed our usual stash (some pictured and some in fridge/freezer already).

Fall Festival fun! We got to perform some songs from our musical at the @3crossesadventure festival. It's getting closer to Halloween. What's your favorite part of fall? - M, 11 . What a fun time we had at @dellossofamilyfarm! We have been going there for several years and they are always adding new things. A family favorite is always the Super Slide! What fall traditions does your family have for the fall season? - @iamjoymoy

Fall is here but it sure didn't feel like it today. We have been starting the day in the high 40s/9*C and then getting into the low 80s/30*C. The girls ask what the weather will be each morning so they know how to dress. My response has been the same all year...for the last few years. "The weather is unpredictable." And we heard it has been cold in some areas after it was in the 80s, and winter weather in CO already. ☁️🍃☀️👓🌡️ What's the weather like where you live?

We have family in town from Hong Kong. They are on their way to their new home in Oklahoma. We're not sure if there will be poke (or ramen) where they will be living but this weekend called for a visit to @pokeatery at the @lakechabotpm for some good eats. The Dole Whip float was a winner with our visitors too. . What are your favorite cuisines? What foods do you wish was available closer to home?

Repost @iamjoymoy . What do you wish someone would have told you when you were in 6th and 4th grade? . It felt like it was just yesterday we were celebrating the end of another school year. But it was actually 2+ months of fun ago. We are getting ready for another first day of school! . What advice/tips/words of wisdom do you have for kiddos starting a new school year?

It was so great that we got vouchers to a ball game as one of the many summer reading game prizes this year. Thanks to @aclibrary #castrovalleylibrary , we enjoyed an evening with friends at the ballpark and got to watch a fireworks show afterwards! . There are still a few games left for the Homerun Readers program, as well as the other educational programs the @athletics have available for the community. Check their website or our family blog for info on how to end your summer break with a fun time at a game. Maybe you'll see @stomper00 around or at the Fun Zone. . What family fun activities have you join in on this summer? Movies at the park? City-organized street parties? Nature camp?

We blogged about our Oahu trip already but life is getting in the way of blogging/Instagramming so we wanted to let you know we didn't forget about the food! We will be sharing some good eats soon. . Where do you like to dine on your travels - popular tourist areas or where the locals eat? If you've been to Oahu before, what we're some of your fave food finds?
