Sharing Time

By
I keep on running into things here and there online and in the real world that I think, hmmm, I should share that on my blog. Consider this my personal Sharing Time, which quite honestly is every post.

  • First, Opening Song of the post. Remember how I love Andrew McMahon, front man of Something Corporate, then front man of Jack's Mannequin, then kicked cancer and is just plain cool.  He released an EP all on his own.  This my favorite song from it.  It just makes me want to dance, which I do in my chair at work, unashamedly so.  (I'm not going to admit how many times I've listened to this song on repeat.)
  • Talena shared this article with me and I found it so interesting.  It's pictures of what a weeks worth of groceries looks like from countries around the world.  Fascinating.  What a consuming country we are.
  • Danny and I rented the movie "The Impossible" this week from redbox.  Many of you may have already seen it, but if you haven't, you should. Oh my goodness, so intense. It made me cringe and cry, but man I love movies that show the importance of family. I sure love mine.
  • I saw this on pinterest and I thought of Danny's family.  Y'all should do this! They are the most amazing speed scrabble players I know. (Yes I did just say "y'all" because I love my Southerners.)
  • Lastly, Closing Song for this post.  I really love Imagine Dragons' new music video.  I've already loved this song for awhile, but man what a good reminder.  We have no idea what other people are going through.  Let's all be a little more kind.

    A giant scrabble game! Now that sounds like fun.
    Grampa and I watched The Impossible this weekend. The story is inspiring and would have been even better if they had left in the deleted scene of helping others. Its always refreshing to learn of people that have taken the time to be kind even when they themselves are struggling.

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

By
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

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.
