November on Instagram

Nov. 2 - Attending to my civic duties, early might I add.
Nov. 2- Date night with Danny and a reward for attending to my
civic duties.  I was really brave and tried the pumpkin smoothie.
It tasted like pumpkin pie, how heavenly.
Nov. 5 - The correct way to celebrate Bon Fire Night aka Guy
Fawkes Day.  PS My sister and I held a Cadbury chocolate tasting
test that evening.  Fruit & Nut came out the winner for me.
Nov. 5 - Oh remember, remember the 5th of November.  Fire burn
and cauldron bubble.  Errr, that's not how that poem ends, but
it is also British, so it works, right?
Nov. 7 - Sister Lunch!  Noelle had an appointment in SLC, so she came
and hung out with me afterwards.  Also a little shout out to Kneaders,
since our lunch was delicious.
Nov. 7 - I work with photographers; therefore, I get to go to very
picturesque places.
Nov. 8 - U of U Sculpture Club Open House.  I liked the sculpture of the
little blobs conspiring together or singing in a choir, one of the two.
Nov. 8 - The reason I attended the sculpture club open house was because
Danny was there rocking off  the faces of those in attendance along with
his talented friends Alex and Jack.  You can listen to a small piece of
the musical performance here and here .  It does not disappoint.
Nov. 10 - The Ice Age is a Upon Us.  We got pounded with snow one
weekend and I found the dinosaurs that sit in our study window with
the winter scene behind them rather ironic.
Nov. 17 - My sister-in-law Katie put on a Lindt chocolate tasting party,
which was oh so scrumptious.  I loved the white coconut chocolate!
Nov. 17 - Another view of the chocolate tasting table.
Cue the mouth watering.  Check out my Katie's dessert blog!
She has the most delicious, sweet recipes on it.
Nov. 19 - After a few particularly stressful days, Danny brought home
this festive bouquet to help me feel better.  That Danny is a keeper.
Nov. 22 - My contribution to Thanksgiving dinner.
Nov. 29 - Festival of Trees!
Nov. 29 - A perfect evening for volunteering.

    Looks like you've had a great month. (Well mostly). Love your dinosaurs in the ice age, and your photography picture. Is that wheat?

      It's actually a reed type plant down in a marshy area near the Great Salt Lake.

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 the circles to the foam tree in

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 strawberries and whipped cream.  It look delightful when they b

One of Those Nights

By
You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewing for th
