There is a GIVEAWAY at the end! So be sure to check it out and enter. Oh Sweet Sadie is an Art & Gift Show in Daybreak, Utah. It is 5 minutes away from my house and is a VERY DANGEROUS ART AND GIFT SHOW FOR ME TO ATTEND. They don’t know I am writing […]

Utah TRAX Giveaway!

Monday, August 1st, 2011 in local

A couple of weeks ago TRAX invited some bloggers to be the first group to ride their newest line. You can read the news story here. (Might I add that I read the comments on these newspaper websites just for sport? It is very entertaining. P.S. KSL has the best of the best comments.) The […]

Up House in Herriman Utah

Saturday, July 9th, 2011 in Love of Local in Utah, local

The Up House in Herriman, Utah is super close to us. To get the girls’ wiggles out right before we left for California, we walked over there to check it out. The builder happened to be standing there just grinning at his work. His company is Bangerter Homes and he thinks his list price for […]

Little People’s Dental in South Jordan Utah

Sunday, June 26th, 2011 in Love of Local in Utah, local

You know, I really didn’t know I should have been “choosy” with the girls’ dentist…I kind of just figured if the dentist seemed like a nice guy and the atmosphere was kid friendly, that I would be ok. Until I learned a lot more and had a completely different experience with Dr. David M. Stewart […]

As you guys know, the beautiful Emily and I co-own SassyScoops.com where we go out with friends twice a month to review local Utah companies. It is fun. I mean, free GNOs for us! But it is work running the site so this is the last update for a few months. We take time off […]

Whole Foods at Trolley Square

Friday, March 18th, 2011 in Love of Local in Utah, local

I went on a media tour of Whole Foods at Trolley Square with my girls. Abby was the photographer and Cameron took the notes. They were the cutest and (might I say) the most well behaved of all the media at the event 😉  I am trying to read these notes covered in scribbles and […]

Blue Lemon in Salt Lake

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011 in Love of Local in Utah, local

Wait for it…there is a giveaway link at the end… I can’t believe it was over 2 years ago that I put together the first blogger/business review EVER in Utah. (Correct me if I am wrong…but I am pretty sure that is right.) It was for our friends who were opening their own restaurant in […]
