I was born here in Hawaii on the island of Oahu and have lived here all my life except for when I was attending college on the mainland (Go Trojans!).
I am happily married to the love of my life, and we have three beautiful boys.
My oldest, "Musician," is in elementary school and was recently diagnosed with PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified). Despite his developmental delays, he is thriving academically, and we hope to be able to find and utilize resources that will enable him to live as normal of a life as possible.
My middle, "Smiley," is a toddler who loves to entertain people. He can be stubborn (like his mommy), but he is full of adventure and life.
My "Baby" was just born a few months ago. He is such a happy baby and he continues to bring joy to the entire family.
Here at Sage and Savvy I blog about my life, as well as post reviews and giveaways on a variety of products and services.
You can find more information about life in Hawaii on my other blog, My Island Views, where I post about my favorite restaurants and family-friendly activities throughout the islands.

Last year I saw an ad for method Hand Wash, which noted it was triclosan-free. I never heard of triclosan, and when I found out what it was (basically a “pesticide”), the normal worrisome mother in me became even more paranoid.
