January 2014 on Instagram

Jan. 9th - At the end of the work day, I found this wintry scene on Temple
Square rather pretty and peaceful.  Promptly after taking this pic, I slipped,
 flailed and skidded down the sidewalk.  However, I avoided falling,
 so that is what is important.
Jan. 11th - We had a temple day with the Danny's family.  Here's our couple
pic in front of the Mount Timpanogos Temple.
Jan. 14th - Sometimes my job requires weird things of from me.  This time I got
to pour orange soda into a glass over and over again for a photo shoot.
Such resume building skills I have.
Jan 17th - While out running work errands, my friend Tina and I stopped
at Waffle Love in Provo for lunch.  They gave me the most beautiful waffle
I have ever seen. Almost too beautiful to eat.

Jan. 22nd - Here is the first video I have posted to Instagram.
Noelle and Baby C came to visit me. Baby C put on an
adorable musical performance, which I just had to share.

Jan 24th - I came home from work to a broken heater.  I decided to display
my survival skills using blankets, space heaters and cozy socks until
the furnace repair man came.
Jan. 31st - During January snow shots are just a given.  These are the 
mountains in Provo after a fresh coat of snow.  Just lovely.

    So glad you didn't fall down on the ice!
    That waffle looks delicious. I hope you ate it all! Don't waste a single raspberry or strawberry.

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...

Hello Sunshine

  I've had the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron on my bookshelf for a couple of years now. It is a program that is supposed to connect you to your inner creativity. It may sound a little out there, but sometimes I try out there stuff. So after reading the first chapter, I thought, why not? Creative endeavors always feed my soul and as of late, my soul needs some feeding. Part of the program is to take yourself on a weekly artist date. Dating myself to connect to my inner creativity? Younger versions of myself may have laughed at this, but the mom version of myself is excited about the idea of time alone .  In pure defiance of the snow I have seen almost daily for months, for my first artist date, I decided to get a pedicure. I mostly was there for the foot massage, but I figured if I make my toes sandal ready, then surely the weather will take the hint and spring will start making its appearance. (I know, I know, we need the snow, we are in a drought. All the lakes a d...

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...
