Book Page Wreath

I have always loved arts and crafts but PT school has allowed little time to be creative. I saw this and felt rather inspired. I knew it would be the perfect excuse for a study break!



This blog has a great tutorial with really easy and simply instructions (and tons of other great craft ideas). 
I bought my foam wreath at the dollar tree along with 2 books ( I used about 300 pages total). Also,  a glue gun and a ton of glue sticks is a must. 
It probably took me about 4 hours total.... not too bad.

Dreaming of Summer....

Since it has been so cold recently, I decided to make something that reminded me of summer. I saw this lemon yogurt cake made on the Food Network a few weeks ago and just couldn't resist. Trust me, if I can make it so can you. I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone....



Enjoy!

The "Before Kids" Bucket List

Instead of making New Year's resolutions, Sean and I decided to make a "before kids" bucket list. We both love children and cannot wait to have several of our own; however, we would like to wait several years before we start seriously considering children. So... we decided to make a list of things that we want to do together before we start our family. We want to make sure that we spend the next few years really enjoying the time that we have together (before extra added responsibility) and building a solid foundation for our marriage. Just a few things on the list: 

1. road trip out west 
2. visit New York City 
3. go to a Boston red sox game 

This weekend we will be solidifying all of our plans for our road trip and reserving our campsites for the Grand Canyon and Arches National Park! 

Delicate Arch in Arches National Park 

We are also planning on visiting: Las Vegas, the Hoover Dam, L.A, Nashville, Boulder, and St. Louis. I am the most excited about sleeping outside under the stars and spending 2 weeks exploring amazing places to hike along the west coast . And I know Sean cannot wait to put his foot in the pacific ocean. 

If you have any advice for our trip or recommendations on places to visit we would love to hear them!
