I Heart Free (GOOD) Music

Image
By
So back in my younger college days (a mere 4 years ago) I was hip with the music scene/new bands/concerts and all that jazz (or actually I should say and all that rock/indie).  However, I'm less cool now and have less time to find out about the latest bands.  In fact, it has been awhile since I came across a band I really liked.  However, just a day or two I heard about the band The Civil Wars and I think my ears fell in love.  It happened when I least expected it.  They are more country-ish which isn't usually my style, but their harmonies are amazing.

You may be thinking this is old news because you have already heard of The Civil Wars, but what you may not know is that you can get a whole album from them for free!  (And it is totally legal.)  Click here to download the album of one of their live concerts.  It's really good.  And if you click here, it will take you to their band website where you can download their new single, "Barton Hollow" for free as well.  (Scroll to the bottom of the band page.)  I also included a few YouTube videos of The Civil Wars, so you can sample the delicious ear candy before downloading.  Consider this all an early Valentine's Day gift from moi.  Why?  Because I love you (reading my blog = love) and God loves you (I know that to be true) and The Civil Wars love you (why else would they give you free music).  You're welcome.  Note:  Don't confuse the band with the actual civil war, because that lacked love.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
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!

By
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?

By
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.
