Wanderlust....

"Wanderlust is a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world"
This perfectly describes the longing inside of me ~ The world is such an amazing place and I want to explore more of it...
I want to buy a ticket to somewhere....anywhere...to discover, learn, grow...
Do you have this inside of you?
What are some places you have been that are simply unforgettable?

What calls to you? What speaks to your heart?

Kale chips...

My first try at Kale chips~ YUM! They are so light and crispy they melt in your mouth.
I first heard of these in September at my physical therapy office when I was obsessed with the Farmers Market, one of the girls there told me about them. Then I found the recipe in a magazine that I have had marked for months. Last week a girl at my work made some and told me about them so I thought it was time to give them a try!
Super easy, healthy and delicious!

Saving corks...

If you don't already, you should start saving your corks~ There are so many fun projects to do with them. About 9 years ago my friend Andy made this cork board for me~ I am now on a quest save a bunch of corks and make cool stuff :)
I only have a small amount saved so far....
If you don't want to save them for yourself, will you save them for me? I would be so grateful!

New Years Eve day...

My friends and I spent the afternoon in Park City~ We had planned for a sleigh ride a few weeks in advance (before we realized that there would not be any snow). It turned out to be a wagon ride instead, but after lunch and a few shops we headed to the "sleigh" ride and it was really great. Here are some photos from our adventure!

One last post about Paris~

I think one of my favorite things about going to Paris was that I figured out the Metro!
I live in Utah, and up until the past few years we have not had the best public transit system. We do have trax trains now but I live so close to work and the city that I still do not take it much at all, and ours is very simple anyways. However, The Metro in Paris is very complex. Tons of trains, all different colors on the transit map. You have to know where you are going in order to choose the right route, this can include multiple Metro trains ~ I know it might seem like a simple thing but on the first day I almost had a meltdown thinking I knew what I was doing :) And a lady yelled across the tracks asking me where I needed to go, I was not in the right place and somehow she could tell. From then on I did not have any issues and got on the right trains to the right places ~ I felt a little bit proud that I had actually figured it out :) It may seem like such a small thing, but at that point in my life it was huge ~
