January on Instagram

Apparently there wasn't much to take pictures of during the month of January, just a whole lot of snow.  My amount of Instagram pics is much less this time around.  Interesting to see what February will have in store.

Jan. 3(ish):  Our icicle farm, they just kept on growing.
Jan. 10:  We had this insane snow storm  that hit right during the evening 
commute.  My 15 minute drive turned into 1.5 hours.  Since I was spending 
most of my time stopped, I passed the time by documenting this crazy 
weather. This past month the weather has been a little freaky.
Mountains of snow, freezing rain and fog, oh my.
Jan. 12:  Since our city had turned into a frozen tundra, Danny and I 
planned an indoors date to pass the time one Saturday.We did have 
fun time, because Color Me Mine is one of my all time favorite places. 
However, we were unfortunate enough to have to sit at the only free table, 
which was by the door.  The temperature was in the single digits outside.  
So every time someone opened the door, so much rage and cursing
 occurred in my head.

Jan. 12:  Danny creating a work of art in frog form at Color Me Mine.

Jan. 18:  I heard about this new cafe/bakery from multiple coworkers and
friends that just opened up down the street from my office downtown.
I tried it out for lunch one day with a friend and I was thoroughly pleased.

Jan. 18:  At Eva's Bakery, there is this wall of bread which I found
incredibly charming.  It helped me imagine that I was in Paris for a
split second.  What a wonderful split second that was.

Jan. 19:  One can handle single digit temperatures and a smoggy inversion
only for so long.  Danny and I left it all behind and visited my sister and
bro-in-law in St. George over the long MLK weekend.  There was sun, grass 

and clear skies, which meant one thing to me:  Bocce Ball Tournament.

Jan. 20:  Tim Tam Slam time.
(Don't worry, I didn't break my sugar goal, because I was on vacation.)

Jan. 24:  Danny and I made a visit to the Jordan River Temple one
icy evening to celebrate Talena's Temple anniversary with her.

It was heavenly.

  2. Question: How does the bread in that bakery not dry out?

    1. Good Question. I assume they put out new bread each morning. I just saw it as a photo op.

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

The Christmas Box

Remember how forever ago I said I would post a tutorial on how to fold these cute boxes.  Sigh, life is busy.  But I am here to fulfill my promise, even if it is a bit belated.  We had a Super Saturday at church with classes we could take.  My awesome friend, Becky, taught us how to create these, so I give her all the credit. What you need, paper, scissors, ruler pencil and some type of adhesive. 1.On the blank side of your paper draw an X from each corner, using a ruler. 2. Fold the bottom corner to the  center. 3. Fold the bottom corner one more  time up to the center. 4. Now you are  going to do the exact  two folds from steps 2 and 3 to the  opposing top corner, so your  paper will look like this. 5.  Unfold your paper and make the same folds to left and right corners that haven't been folded yet.  So once again, fold the point to the middle. 6.  Do a second fold to th...
