One Crazy Week

Did the chirping of crickets keep you company while I was away?  I actually wasn't away, just on the verge of being overwhelmed with one crazy week of life. Needless to say, I am tired.  For those who care, here are a few glimpses from this past week.


  • Danny, myself and our friend Rachel got to go a Jazz NBA playoffs game.  The Jazz ended up losing and are now out of the playoffs, but it was still a lot of fun to yell and scream and get mad at the refs.  
At the game.
  • I helped with a production at work, which meant two long days of, well, work. (15+ hour work days.)  There was a funny moment when the crew was filming a scene in my home.  Our neighbors saw a big van in our driveway and could hear people moving things around in our house and they came over to see if we were moving out.  I probably should have warned them about the production beforehand, oops.
  • I visited my mom today to wish her a Happy Mother's Day.  She provided lunch for me, she's such a good mom.  However, I think being Mother's Day Eve, I should have made lunch for her!
  • We had a bridal shower for our fabulous friend for Brittany.  I was put in charge of the games, which is ironic, because I've never been a fan of bridal shower games, so I invented some of my own.  I created a mad lib of Brittany and her honey's love story, a questionnaire to see who knows Brittany the best and we had fun taking turns predicting Brittany's future, which we all wrote down on 3x5 cards and put in a little album for her to look back on later.  I think it turned out well. 
  • We went to our ward cake auction to raise money for the youth.  It was a lot of fun and a lot of sugar.  Everyone buys the cakes and eats them on the spot, sharing them with everyone else.  I'm so full of cake right now.

  1. How cool you got to go to a NBA game! As much as I love basketball, I don't think I've ever been to a NBA game! Sorry the Jazz lost. Congrats on your strawberry! Juliette has 3 plants and so far as eaten 2 little ripe strawberries.

  2. I'm surprised you don't like bridal shower games. I'm sure the mad lib will be fun for Brittany, especially years from now.

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...
