#1 11 Reasons You Shouldn’t Vacation in Maui
Why would you want to go to an exotic island in the Pacific when you can stay on your couch in your living room doing the same old, same old? Old reruns, Netflix binges, cleaning out the garage, cooking, and staying indoors are just a few things you could be happier with than taking a trip to tropical Hawaiian paradise. Wait, what?!
#2 Maui Engagement Photos
Natalie Brown went out of her way for the would-be-groom to discretely capture the surprise of a marriage proposal in Maui, Hawaii. She shared these precious photos with us and we love them! Since posting this on Maui Goodness, some other romantic grooms followed suit. They also had Natalie shoot photos of the Big Moment.

We saw at least a dozen bikers cross our path as we made our journey. Here we share the hike, photos, and the types of trees/plants you’ll find along the way. Find out more about this gorgeous, protected Maui forest.
#7 Snorkeling When Pregnant
For the most part, snorkeling while pregnant can be done without danger and can be a great way to get some exercise while increasing the mother’s happiness (both very important for a healthy pregnancy.) We share some of our own experiences, photos and a video of us snorkeling on our actual due date! If conditions are good, and safety is a priority, it should be ok.
