Thank you for reading HONOLULU Family. We know it’s a busy time for families as you gear up for the new school year. Actually, is it ever not a busy time for parents?

 

In this issue, we’re highlighting our Best of HONOLULU Family winners—businesses that offer amazing food, products and services on O‘ahu. From Dipped by Doreen, with its adorable custom-dipped Oreos, to Kroc Center’s water park, gym, game room and more, keiki have plenty of places to go and things to do.

 

We’ve also rounded up some possible staycation destinations with fall kama‘āina discounts. After all, we could all use some downtime from our hectic lives. And chef Alan Wong provides great ways to whip up healthy snacks and dishes for kids that incorporate local ingredients. In a quest to eat better, I’ll be adopting a lot of Wong’s great tips from our interview.

 

HONOLULU Family is intended to be an informed, fun guide for you to live well, to find relevant services and most of all, to enjoy time with your kids. As the mother of a now 19-year-old, I can attest to the sentiment that kids grow up incredibly fast, so savor your time with them.
