Great Online Finds of the Week

And the tradition continues of sharing my online finds for the week.  I had a lot less research time this week.    However, among the busyness, I still came across a few interesting tidbits

#1  Taking baby pictures to the next level:  I've seen these pictures on a couple of websites now.  This mom creates scenes around her sleeping baby with materials found around their home.  It seems to fall on the scale between a little idiosyncratic and amazingly creative.

#2  The New CPR:  I found this pretty informative.  Did you know there is a new form of CPR that has shown to be more effective than the tradition CPR we all learned at girls/scout camp?  One of my friends posted this on her facebook status, because this new form of CPR saved her mother's life.  GTK.

#3 Poshish:  Poshish is a blog my friend Eliza started.  She has invited a group of friends to share simple and cheap ways to decorate and spruce up your home.  (This is a bit biased because she has let me post on this blog in the past.)  But really, I have come across a lot of good ideas on this blog.

  1. Agreed... Poshish IS a great blog ;)... jk... I'm not sure how I feel about that picture business... I mean, I've got to give her credit, they are artistic and very well done... its just kind of an odd things to do with your newborn... lots of time on her hands I guess.

  2. Eliza, I totally agree. I was impressed by the mother's creativity but at the same time found it a little odd. I was kind of curious what others thought. And Poshish is a great blog!

  3. I thought those baby pictures were adorable, but I never had a baby sleep so much. If they ever did nap I either had laundry to do, or I needed a nap myself. But if that is how that mommy deals with her baby stress more power to her. I just wonder if she just took pictures of her daughter asleep and artfully arranged stuff around the picture. What do you think?

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

Blogging is still cool, right?

I woke up this morning missing my blog. My very early 2000's blog. I had one called The Life of Jannifer during my 20's/single years. Then I had this one from 2010 - 2015 during my early married years. Then I have a website janniferwood.com where I tried to show I'm a serious writer. I still have that website and I'm still trying to show that I'm a serious writer. However, I missed my place of silliness, this little blog. Or I miss being younger, one of the two. Why not post after 7 years?  Also, I find the title of this blog funny because there are a select few people in my life who call me Jan. Most of them are family members or old friends. The even rarer is Janni, which is reserved for some of my nephews and a few other loved ones. My given name, Jannifer, is usually what I go by, but this also tends to be the most confusing for some reason. That whole A and not E throws people. So, I'll stick with Jan on this one.
