RECIPE: GRANOLA

Homemade Granola (although I didn't include the sea salt) from this recipe:http://www.cleaneatingmag.com/Recipes/Recipe/Simple-Sunflower-Seed-Granola.aspx

So delicious, and much more economical than buying from the grocery store. I stocked up at Bulk Barn!

VIDEO: OH YOU BRING




This video is a clip from a life changing documentary called "The I Heart Revolution". The song is "Oh You Bring" by Hillsong United. I am thrilled to be seeing them in Toronto this Saturday.

TWENTY-MOO


This is the card I made for my cow-loving friend, whose 22nd birthday is on Tuesday!
(Oh, and it's my 23rd the same day!)

Mark and I are leaving for our "honeymoon" (9 months later..) on Monday. We'll be roughing it in a tent for one week, and I am so excited. We are bringing our bikes and my parents' canoe, a pile of books, too much food, and our bathing suits of course. This weekend is pretty crazy so far trying to finish (or start..) packing in between our normal weekend commitments. But the craziness of this weekend will be worth it when we are sitting on the beach relaxing! It's been a long-awaited trip, and I have pretty high hopes that this will be my favorite birthday EVER. Fingers crossed that we won't forget anything!

Have a delightful week!
