Name That Blog Contest

This family is getting a new home. So this blog needs a new name. And you are just the person to name it.

Here are the rules:
the name must embrace our new island home.
the name must not embarrass me or my mom.
the name should be catchy, but not too cheezy (a little cheese is okay)
5 word max (or close)
Enter as many times as you like.


The lucky winner will recieve this amazing prize:
one plastic authentic Hawaiian (made in China) lei, one small paper umbrella, one baggie of actual Hawaiian sand.

This can all be yours if your suggestion becomes the name of this blog. Please leave your ideas in the comment secion.

*** because of the move logistics it may be a while before I get another chance to blog. My goal is to blog one more time from a neighbor's house before we go.

Ooh...How fun! How about:

The Happy Hawaiian
Happy Hawaiian Home
Surf's up in Hawaii
Aloha from Hawaii
Only here when I'm not out surfing... (O.k. that's 7 words)

Maybe I'll think of more! :)

I would have tagged you for the Chrimstas Meme, but I didn't think you'd have time. Here is the link if you'd like to do it sometime in the future.

Good luck with your move! I'll miss your posts. :)

Unknown said...

Okay, think harder everyone. There are too many references about Hawaii and not enough to the fact that this is Wendy's blog.

I think whatever she decides, it has to indicate that it's her blog. See where I am going with this?

Wendy's Waikiki World

Wendy's Wacky Waikiki World

Wendy's Wonderful Waikiki World

Life in Paradise
Ooh la la Hawaii
My other car is a surfboard
I'd rather be surfing
Gone surfing
Surf's up

Beach Life (you know instead of Rapid Life)
Beach Time
