A Post to Help Me Feel Accomplished

Image
By
It's almost been a week since I last blogged, but I really don't have anything too exciting to share.  It's been a busy week, to say the least.  Here are somethings I did my best to accomplish this past week...

1.  Planned three photo shoots in a mere 48 hours.  Ok, I had A LOT of help this one.  (Thanks Loni and Amelia!!!)  I was so relieved everything went well and was even more relieved to come home after long days of work to go to bed.

2.  My blog book came in the mail!!  Every couple of years I print my blog off in a book.  The latest book covers when I was dating and engaged to Danny.  It was so fun to edit and be reminded of fond memories. (Did I mention it is like 340 pages?  Yeah, I do take too many pictures, oh well.)

3.  Umm, a lot of laundry.  Ok, that isn't exciting.

4.  I had an adventure with Danny this afternoon to a childhood favorite of mine... Mueller Park!  It was beautiful up there! 


5.  Also, my favorite news article from this week.  It pleases me so when my religion is not only cool, but rather witty.

    CONGRATS on your book!! I've made several and I know just how much work goes into getting it edited and done. I'm like you too, I take way to many pictures and my books are always 340 pages too! :) I'm working on one now...

    No problem! I was so happy to help direct you in making your history into a book!! I hope my kids enjoy these books one day, because they are a labor of 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.
