You can tell I went to my archive stash for this photo! Wish I were at a beach right now…soaking up the sun! :o) Happy Thursday. Do or Learn something NEW!
a NEW healthy habit
{source}
I’ve formed a NEW healthy habit! {I’ve been doing this for a while now…so I think I can say it’s truly a habit } :o) Each morning, I juice half a lemon into a full glass of water and chug it down (yup, sour!…but you get used to it). Years ago, I read how good lemons are for you, and I remember going on a lemon tangent; but, of course, that didn’t last too long. So this time, I’m not going to over-do it…just a 1/2 lemon a day and I think I can maintain this healthy habit. Check out these benefits of drinking lemon water:

Hunting…another NEW Christmas tradition
{source}
A few days ago, my son’s friend asked us if we ever go Christmas Light Hunting. Huh? What is that? Apparently it’s just driving around looking for beautiful Christmas light displays. Well, yes….we do that EVERY.SINGLE.Christmas Eve! So, I guess we’ll have to start calling it what it is…Christmas Light Hunting!
BUT…here’s another GREAT idea that I just read about today! Hunt for houses that are displaying a Nativity…and when you find one, drop a ‘Thank you for displaying the Reason for the Season’ card in their mailbox paperbox! LOVE that idea! Since we’re out hunting anyway, we’re going to add that to our tradition! Some people are soooooo smart!

NEW photos of my week #36
What’s NEW with you? We’ve had a couple of days of snow, so I got some winter shots on my photo shoot today. This one, with the trees reflecting through the (almost) frozen stream is my favorite of the day. Here’s some more:

NEW photo of my week #35

Hallelujah! At least one of my photos turned out decent. We quickly rushed through Temple Square to see the lights before attending another event in downtown Salt Lake, and this one was really the only decent photo I got. I hope to get back up there with more time to shoot soon!

a NEW Christmas Tradition
For a few years now, I’ve read this short little book toward the beginning of each December. I’ve enjoyed starting off the Christmas season this way. I like the mystery aspect of this little book, and I love how, every year, the book makes me want to be a better person….(by emulating the example of the deceased grandfather in the story).
I just ordered the DVD off Amazon. So, from now on, for a NEW Christmas tradition I can either read the book or watch the video! I hope the video is as good as the book…I’ll let you know! 🙂

NEW photos of my week #34
I went out shooting yesterday and was a bit disappointed at the lack of…really anything, that caught my eye. I came home and told my hubby that along with “No Shave November” (my son has a bushy, bushy beard)…this month should also be known as “Nothing to shoot November”!
However, I’ve learned that a good photographer can create a good photo out of nothing…so I ventured out and gave it my best shot 🙂
For the top photo, I’ll link to Song-ography. I was inspired by the great photos in this week’s song video:
Also, this week on Scavenger Hunt Sunday, the prompts were: Starts w/S, Texture, A Blessing, Warmth, and I Went. Here are my interpretations:
Starts w/S: Stuck!
Texture
A Blessing: Friends that bring you cookies to enjoy!
Warmth: Is this too much of a stretch? Firewood is potential warmth, right? 🙂
I Went…to the park to get a shot of Mt Timpanogos.
And one last miscellaneous pic:
Have a terrific week! Do or learn something NEW!
a NEW board and batten project done…and more ledges to dust!
Hi all! If you remember when I posted the before and after photos of our kitchen remodel, I mentioned we had a few unfinished projects left to go. Well, the board and batten project in our dining room is now finished…yeah! 🙂
As you can see, I now have MORE LEDGES TO DUST! But I like the look enough to suffer through the unpleasant side-effects!
Have a great weekend! Do or learn something NEW!
a NEW recipe review
Happy Friday everyone! Well, it’s soup season, right? This week I tried a NEW soup recipe and thought I’d give it a review. I made Wisconsin Cauliflower Soup, and although I liked it…it was NOT a copycat version of Zupa’s (as it was advertised). My hubby and I went to Zupa’s just a few weeks ago, and I had their WCS…so the flavor is quite fresh in my memory :)…but sadly, I don’t think this recipe comes quite close enough to call it copycat. BUT…I’m really glad I tried it. I’ve never made cauliflower soup before, so I got to learn something NEW! I give this soup recipe three out of five stars. Now, IF it had been a true Zupa’s copycat it would’ve been five out of five stars! 🙂
Have a great weekend! Try something NEW!
