A Forest Frolic

Currently Obsessed with: Geocaching

This week: I haven't been to the gym once...I've opted to take little hikes instead...

I've traveled with bugs...

I've given the thumbs up...on numerous occassions...

I've laughed...out loud...all by my lonesome...and still smile when I think of this one...

I've ONLY gotten on the computer to check my Etsy shop orders & to do some research at the library...to find the geocache that was IN THE LIBRARY (how awesome is that?)

I've adventured with friends...

I've become a pro at finding micro caches in parking lots (who knew?)...

And today, I even bought knee-high rain boots to keep in the car (one can never be too prepared), so I can wade through all of these little creeks I'm encountering...

The girls and I have learned local history and played on a train...

I've woken up before the kids on a trip to Great Wolf Lodge, to make a 'coffee-run' and found this one...

If you want to join in on the fun, please visit www.Geocaching.com, but fair warning...it is addicting and F-U-N...a real-world treasure hunting game where players try to find hidden containers [called geocaches] by using gps devices (I use my iphone)!! 

You may learn history, discover something new, enjoy a hike, solve a puzzle, get some fresh air, spend quality time with family and friends, the list goes on...

Please let me know if you've tried geocaching, or might, after reading this post.  If you have tried it...does this obsession ever go away?!? ;)  I'm finding myself thinking of ways to solve the puzzles instead of sleeping, or where the caches might be that I have searched for and haven't found yet, or doing searches for them on every errand I run, tee hee.  Aaaahhhhhh...

Color Splash

We went on a little mall excursion last week!  Something I don't do nearly as often as life before kids.  I'm not a big J. Crew frequenter either, but when I saw the window display from upstairs, I knew I had to make a visit.

The colors are so eye catching and the paper rounds, ooooh...I was in awe for sure!

Brightly colored and glittery eggs, just in time for Easter, I knew I had to pull out the camera.

Everything was super bright...neon even.  Maybe that's the in-thing for Spring.  I'm loving that and speant at least half an hour in there perusing and trying things on.  I only left with a shirt, but there were some orange capri's I didn't think I could pry myself away from.

The jewely was even amazing and those bangles are oh so yummy...

I was feeling very inspired and had lots of creative energy after our J. Crew visit!  Could be this awesome, sunny weather we've been having for the last week too, but the colors were definitely a boost.  Love bright colors!!

These hand-cut Paper Pinwheels are time-consuming, but so fun to make.  I've got more designs in the works, but here are the first two sets that are now in the shop...
