If you’re heading to Maui and wondering where to eat, these are the spots we keep going back to and dream about after we leave.
Most of our favorites are on the west side of Maui (our favorite area), but a few are worth the drive.
👉 Save this for your trip, you’re going to want this list later. I also have all this list and a few more favorite spots over on the blog. Link in bio.
Do you have a favorite Maui spot I need to try next time? Tell me below! #mauifood #hawaiifoodfinds #mauitravel #mauieats #hawaiitravel

Waited 2 hours and 20 minutes for a cinnamon roll… and honestly? Worth it!
This might be the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had.
Papi’s Ohana is on Lower Honoapiilani Rd, just north of Kaanapali Beach. They’re open Mon, Tues, Thurs & Fri starting at 7am… but here’s your warning: once they sell out, they’re DONE. #mauieats #cinnamonrolls #hawaiifoodfinds #mauifood #papisohana

Who else has a knack for finding the local kitty where ever you go?
This one is a real sweetheart. She lives here at the resort and we think she might be pregnant, or just really well fed. 😂 #catsofinstagram #travelcats #mauicat #maui #resortcat

Maui golden hour ✨
I had to sneak in a swimsuit shot before I filled up on one too many cinnamon rolls! 😂
With the way my luck’s been going lately, climbing up on this rusty, washed-up boat probably wasn’t my best idea… but sometimes you just have to do it for the gram, right?
Apparently it washed ashore during the recent Hawaii storms, and honestly, I’m not mad about it. Kinda makes a great photo op. #goldenhour #maui #hawaii #lifeover50

I wanted to give one last update since I finally got the WHOLE story!
How crazy is it that I ran into someone on the same flight getting cinnamon rolls at 7 AM?! 🤯
I also wanted to say that Southwest reached out to apologize and offer travel vouchers to everyone on the flight. I actually thought that was a pretty nice gesture. #airtravel #travelproblems #truestory #update #travelstories

I cannot believe I lost my phone in the ocean… on the first morning of our trip. 😩
I really thought it was gone for good. But somehow, someone actually found it… and it still works?!
Okay, Apple… I’m impressed. 🙌
It was in the water for somewhere between 10–15 minutes 😬
(Also excuse the audio at the beginning… my speaker was still full of ocean + sand 🤦♀️)
Tell me I’m not the only one this has happened to?! And please tell me my luck will get better!

Is it just me, or does anxiety get worse with age?
Because mine is working overtime this week. We’re supposed to leave for Hawaii on Thursday, and there’s another storm headed that way… so naturally, my brain is spiraling about flying in it, or if it’s even a good idea to go at all.
And if you know me, flying already stresses me out as it is.
Just over here reminding myself to take a breath, because it always works out. Right? It always works out… right?? #momlifebelike #anxiety #travelanxiety

It’s showtime 🖤
We threw on our best stripes and went to see Beetlejuice The Musical… and honestly? 11/10 night.
So fun, so chaotic, and the kind of show that has you laughing the whole time.
If you’re near San Jose, don’t sleep on this. It’s at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts through April 5th.
Tickets in my bio. 🎟️ @broadwaysanjose_ #beetlejuice #beetlejuicethemusical #bayareafun

Happy 18th birthday to my oldest! I can’t believe I’m officially a mom to an adult.
Every stage of parenthood has gone by way too fast… the blink-and-you-miss-it baby days, the whirlwind childhood years, and now the way-too-fast teenage years. It really does feel like just last year he was becoming a teen.
Excuse me while I go quiet for a bit…I’m having a moment processing all of this 😂

Never underestimate Sri Lankan hospitality… some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. ❤️
I was craving rice and curry the other day, and it instantly brought me back to this moment from our Sri Lanka road trip.
Each morning of the trip we were given a challenge for the day, and this one felt almost impossible. We needed to get invited into a stranger’s home to learn how to make traditional rice and curry.
I honestly didn’t think it would happen… but wow, was I wrong.
We were welcomed in with so much warmth and kindness, and it ended up being one of those experiences you just can’t plan…the kind that stays with you.
And really, can you imagine this playing out the same way in the U.S.? 😂

I’m not done with Sri Lanka content just yet… I took way too much footage on that trip not to post it.
When I first found out I’d be going to Sri Lanka for our tuk tuk road trip with @largeminority , I assumed most of the island would be jungles and tropical beaches. I was completely wrong.
The Central Highlands feel like a different world. This area is cool, misty, full of waterfalls, wildflowers, and endless tea plantations. Staying overnight on a tea plantation was such a cool experience, and I highly recommend it if you visit.
