Girl's Day

As a child, we celebrated Girl's Day, or in Japanese, Hinamatsuri - the Japanese Doll Festival.

The third day of the third month of every year, we would make paper dolls and Grandma would give all her daughters and grand daughters (and now greath grand daughters) $5.

Then, on the fifth day of the fifth month, the boys would get there turn for, you guessed it, Boy's Day!

Now, both have been combined into Children's day. But not in our family!

This year, I invited my grandma, mom, two sisters, and neice to join me for Girl's Day - we'll start with some manicures/pedicures followed by afternoon tea at the Halekulani! To add a personal touch to the table, I made placecards and decided to share the design as a card.

Why not take a few minutes to let a friend or loved one know that you're thinking about them? There's a lot of fun things that come with being a woman (admittedly, frustrating ones, as well) but for tomorrow, let a someone know the good that you see in her, the things you love and appreciate about her.
