Reviews: The Talking Pictures Kind…

So I’ve seen a few newly released movies this past little while and I thought I would share my opinions on them, because I can. (Got to love freedom of speech.)

Movie #1: Tangled



This movie was so cute. It is the typical Disney fairytale cartoon, a love story, comic relief and music. This movie is based on the story of Rapunzel, loosely based might I add, which is Disney’s style. We saw this as a family and both the kids and adults enjoyed it. The only negative for me was I didn’t find the music as captivating as past Disney Princess movies. After the movie, I asked my 7-year-old nephew, E, if I should grow my hair out as long as Rapunzel’s hair. He vetoed that idea quickly.

Movie #2: Tron



I keep seeing facebook statuses of friends who loved this movie, I’m puzzled, wondering if I missed something. Here is my view. When a movie is made in the 80’s and is bizarre and you remake that movie, let’s just say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The plot is kind of lame and Jeff Bridges is so annoying. I must admit the motorcycle racing parts were very cool and the effects, impressive. Overall, the movies was mehhhh (interpret that however you want), but the cinnamon bears I smuggled into the theater and holding my husband’s hand during the movie was awesome.

  1. I went 7 years without cutting my hair and it never got past the middle of my back, but you don't want to mess with super long hair; you can be sure it would always be tangled.

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

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...
