Peanut Butter Presents

Remember how in my last post I mentioned that Danny got me a surprise for National Peanut Butter Day?  I'm sure the suspense has been killing you.  Well no need  for near death suspense anymore.  This is the surprise I came home to...

Gift Numeral 1:  It is no secret that when I'm busy on a production, like I have been for the last week and a half, the house gets neglected like a red headed step child.  (I'm the only one who can say that, because I'm actually a red head and the favorite child, so it is ok...kidding about the favorite child part, I know that will cause lots of disagreeing comments from my siblings.)  Danny pulled out the vacuum and broom and tidied the  place up before I got home for work.  Bless that husband heart of his!

Gift Numeral 2:   A half full (or half empty, depending on your mood) jar of peanut butter, for kicks and giggles really.

Gift Numeral 3:  The new Ingrid Michaelson CD "Human Again"!!!  Yay husband for picking up on my very strong hints that this was something I needed!  He even followed my instructional hints and went to Best Buy to get the album, because it had 4 extra tracks on the physical album that wasn't on iTunes.  Yes, Danny does get the husband award for the week!

As for the new Ingrid tunes, they're bringing me such musical bliss.  Her latest album is more rocking than the ones she has released in the past.  I'm actually a little torn about this.  I love that she has added an orchestra in the background.  It gives such a full sound to her music.  However, I miss the organic sound of her and her ukulele plus a few other instruments.  The new sound took a little getting used to, because I wasn't expecting it, but I'm loving having new music to listen to.  My favorite songs from this latest album are "Do It Now" and "How We Love".

We ended our peanut butter holiday with having our dear friend Talena over for dinner.  Who knew peanut butter could bring so much joy!?  Ok, so this was actually planned before I had any clue that National Peanut Butter Day existed and peanut butter wasn't included on the menu.  We went with a nice Mexican style meal. I tried this new recipe for chicken enchiladas and it turned out scrumptious!  Talena asked for the recipe, so I thought I would share with all you lovely people as well.

  1. You have a sweet husband; he must be related to my husband. I like the 1/2 jar of peanut butter and those songs from Ingrid (who I've never heard of) are very pretty, esp. the 2nd one. Thanks for sharing them.

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...
