Learn: Making Home Feel Like Home

When does a house feel like a home? For me it was when we started to paint. That's when I felt it was safe to start putting up decoration and adding touches that were uniquely us. Every week I add a little more. This week it was curtains and a table cloth.

Hopefully this summer we can continue to decorate, finish up the projects we started, and start some new ones. :) Maybe even sew a few more things for the house!

I am currently learning to sew. I helped make the curtains from my house, but my mother and mother-in-law where the major sewers in this endeavor. I am hoping that with practice I won't need to call in back up!

Live: Hiking

In an effort to live healthy, I am becoming more active. Last week, Jacob and I went on a 8 mile hike. It was quite a journey and harder on my out of shape body than I anticipated. The difficulty of this hike really motivated me to start getting back into shape.Hopefully, I'll be able to make another hiking trek soon and I will be able to complete it with more finesse. 

I would like to add, my dog was a bigger wimp than I. Every single spot of shade was meant as a resting spot for her derrière. The last few miles we were practically dragging her to the top of the mountain.

Do you have any summer fitness goals?
My goal is to be able to participate in a marathon. And have a little more muscle and a lot less fat!

Everything is in bloom

Tadpoles!

We sat by the creek and ate sandwiches. It was very relaxing.
