Happy First Day of Autumn!

In commemoration of the first day of Autumn, Danny and I traveled up Little Cottonwood Canyon to enjoy the changing leaves.  While the leave colors aren't quite to their peak, it was still gorgeous!  Nothing lifts my spirits after a long week like taking some nature time up in the canyon.










In Other News...

  • Honestly, I hate politics.  What I hate even more is social media and politics, blah.  However, I took this quiz to see who I agreed with more out of the presidential candidates.  The results are... 70% agreement with Romney and 69% with Obama.  Interesting. I found the quiz rather enlightening because it made me stop and think about how I really felt about the issues that our country is facing.  
  • Also, the best article I read this whole week!  Oh man, I was dying laughing.
  • Cutest moment of the day, my 4-year-old nephew Super R called me to tell me that he has learned how to ride his bike without training wheels this weekend.  Way to go Super R!!  He then invited me to come to his house so I could watch him ride his bike.  Of course I told him that I would love to.

    Michele - Haha, yes, I shall keep that in mind.
    Dad Wood - I was just asking Danny the other day what fall was like in Louisiana. I'm sorry you don't get the vibrant colors down there. The next time you come to visit, you will have to come in the fall and we will take you up in the canyon.

    Your shots of the fall colors are gorgeous. It's going to be hard to leave the Utah autumn.

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

By
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...
