I’m a little behind in posting this but it has been a crazy week and I haven’t been feeling well. However, since it is Friday (Happy Aloha Friday), I figured I could share a little Foodie love and Fashion. This past Sunday was Mother’s Day and my husband and sons surprised me with an awesome Brunch at the Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort. This location is one of my favorites because the grounds are gorgeous and the Spa and Terme are one of my favorites to go a few times a year for a little “me” time. This was the first time we attended their brunch and I’m so glad we had the opportunity to experience it.
The Grand Wailea Resort and Spa is located on the South Side of Maui in Wailea. It is a gorgeous resort with grounds that are not only breathe-taking, but a playground for all ages. It is also located on one of the most beautiful beaches Maui has to offer.
My family and I have been to the resort on many occasions whether as a stay-cation, attend weddings at their chapel, dine or play in the pools or spa but we have never been to their brunch. This brunch occurs every Sunday, but this year they tried something different and had a Sangria bar especially for Mother’s Day. Their buffet includes everything from Prime Rib and Crab legs to a plethora of seafoods, local dairy cheeses, waffles and pancakes and so much more. I apologize for not having any photos of the food as I was too caught up in making my plate I completely forgot.
I was able to capture the dessert bar which was just as delicious and included everything from macarons to cake pops and everything in between. Scrumptious treats for a great day.
Stop on by the site to see what their entire menu includes – I’m sure you’ll be drooling just reading it. Their menu can be found here. After Brunch, my family and I took a stroll through the grounds to walk off a full tummy. It was such a beautiful day.
Love my guys! My husband, sons and I do everything together – even anniversaries are celebrated together. We are just a close family overall. It was such a nice treat to have a Mother’s Day brunch with the ones I love.
The boys are all dressed casually wearing denim shorts from Old Navy and their favorite graphic t-shirts or plain t’s. My husband is sporting a pair of Khaki Cargo Shorts from Dickies and a shirt from Maui Tropix.
For my outfit – I went with something I knew would be comfortable and still cool since it was pretty warm that day.
- Loose Fit Peplum style top – Old Navy
- Black Pencil Skirt – Forever 21
- Platform Flip flop sandals – Steve Madden
- Watch – Invicta
- Necklace, Earrings – Amethyst and Sterling Silver Jewelry that was my Mother’s Day Gift from my Husband and Sons
- Pandora Style Bracelet – Muwae Jewelry
- Purse/Handbag – Miche Prima Bag with Farrah Shell
For dinner that evening my husband prepared for me his Pork Loin, smothered in mushrooms and homemade mushroom gravy with a side of garlic asparagus. It is one of my favorites and I had been craving it for a few weeks so he picked up the supplies to make it for me. MMM MMM YUM!
It was such a wonderful day and I wish that every Mother out there had a day that they not only enjoyed but also cherished. I am a proud mom and so thankful for my children. My pregnancies were all difficult and my children are definitely God’s gifts to us.

That looks like a beautiful resort!
it really is 🙂
What a wonderful day you had! Everything look beautiful at the resort & love the macarons and your husband’s dinner for you! We may be planning a trip to HI for sometime after the summer, either Maui or Big Island. Any suggestions?
I live on Maui – so you know I say Maui 😀 Thank you! Big Island is beautiful and if you want to see an active volcano, then that will be the place to go… but if not then Maui is gorgeous, beautiful white sand beaches and lots to do 🙂
Thank you, Honey! I may have some more questions as time goes on. I hope I can make this trip happen 🙂
