Great Online Finds of the Week

Hi Friends,
I'm back with more great things I found online this week. Enjoy!

#1 Defending Honor - This is by far my favorite online find I came across this week. While the suspension of Davies is sad and not great timing for BYU's basketball team; I love that ESPN defended BYU and their Honor Code.

#2 Looking on the bright side - Just a little reminder that being optimistic not only makes you more enjoyable to be around, but it also helps you to be around longer.

#3 Today's Music! Instead of sharing another article, I'm going to share what has been on replay today while I worked at my computer here and here. They aren't new songs, per se, but good ones.

In other news today is National Grammar* Day and National Pound Cake Day, very important holidays to say the least. (Yes, I'm a great source for lots of random information, if you haven't noticed.) How am I celebrating? I'll tell you, by eating a bag of Valentine's Day themed peanut M&M's. These things are addicting!

*Dare I admit that by accident I spelled "grammar" wrong when I first typed up this post, now that's embarrassing. At least it isn't National Spelling Day.

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...

The End of the Road

There is a time when things fulfill their purpose and that is how I've been feeling with this blog of mine. When I started it, I needed my own little spot to share my thoughts and random stuff I found online. However, having two blogs has become excessive. It has been a good run (me and this little blog) and thanks for joining me. For now on, I will just be posting on my family blog . It's a private blog, but send me a message or a request if you would like to view it. Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my silly thoughts or look at pictures of my cute kiddo or some craft I made. It means a lot to me. Signing off, Jannifer

Things that brought me joy this week

This past week was Melina's birthday! Since she lives far away, Talena and I put together a hula party in a box and mailed it to her. We found all of these treasures at the dollar section at the front of Target. My favorite moment was when we heard a lady gripe about how the discount section was full of a bunch of useless stuff that no one would buy. At that very moment we turned the corner, with our hand basket full of awesome stuff we had found. We just smiled. The party supplies The party agenda I was having a bit of a low evening and Danny suggested we go get my latest craving Sonic blasts. (Ice cream + candy + whipped cream.) I know you aren't supposed to feed sorrows with food, but this particular evening I made an exception. Whoever made that Sonic blast was heaven sent. It had more Reese's peanut butter cups than actual ice cream. It's like they sensed my heavy heart and tried to heal it with choc...
