A Walk in the Park

Last Saturday was gorgeous weather, so Danny and I went on a walk in the park not too far from our home.  It is so nice being able to be outside and not have to wear a jacket or coat.  (I can't say the same for today, since it is frigid and rainy.)  Danny and I had fun sharing secrets with each other on our stroll. No really, that is what we did.  I had my trusty camera with me and took a few pictures as the sun was setting.  It was a beautiful evening.

The pond.  It is already starting to overflow and the runoff has just barely
begun.  I perceive flooding is going to occur this spring



This is my favorite picture from the evening.

    Beautiful pictures. Enjoy these times alone together because when you have kids, those times become rare.

    These are great shots of the setting sun. What park is it?

    I remember when there was a prison in the place where Sugarhouse Park is. I can't believe how much it's grown up in the past 50 years and how beautiful it's become. Maybe that's a commentary on how things and people can change over time. The irony is that they moved the prison out to the point of the mountain where it could be totally isolated. Now that area is full of homes, stores and businesses. The one thing that is constant is that everything changes. Enjoy your rambles together and sharing secrets. That's what builds a strong foundation for a good marriage.

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

Hello Sunshine

  I've had the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron on my bookshelf for a couple of years now. It is a program that is supposed to connect you to your inner creativity. It may sound a little out there, but sometimes I try out there stuff. So after reading the first chapter, I thought, why not? Creative endeavors always feed my soul and as of late, my soul needs some feeding. Part of the program is to take yourself on a weekly artist date. Dating myself to connect to my inner creativity? Younger versions of myself may have laughed at this, but the mom version of myself is excited about the idea of time alone .  In pure defiance of the snow I have seen almost daily for months, for my first artist date, I decided to get a pedicure. I mostly was there for the foot massage, but I figured if I make my toes sandal ready, then surely the weather will take the hint and spring will start making its appearance. (I know, I know, we need the snow, we are in a drought. All the lakes a d...
