To me, there is just something whimsical about maps. I love looking at a map, seeing all the places I've been to, and dreaming of all the places I want to travel to someday. A few months ago, I came across this blog post by Jordan Ferney over at her blog "Oh Happy Day!" She shares a neat idea of mounting a map to some foamcore, hanging it up in your house, and marking all the places that you go to. She gives the complete tutorial here.

I am all about finding new traditions to create with husband and later on carrying those traditions out with our kids. This could be a great new tradition to start!

Also, I have been trying to find a map of Nashville somewhere...but am surprisingly having a difficult time of it {if any of you know where I can find one, please do share!} I would love to hang a map of Nashville up on our wall and mark all of our new favorite spots.
