Birthday Party at One Sweet Slice

Wednesday, October 10th, 2012 in About Me, Love of Local in Utah, Parties

One Sweet Slice is my favorite cupcake shop in Utah location wise, taste wise, quality wise, customer service wise, and dining room size wise. Did that last one make sense? I am trying to say that they have a good amount of seating, space, it is super cute in there. That is what I was

Annual Pictures with KimOrlandini.com

Friday, July 13th, 2012 in About Me, Love of Local in Utah

Kim from KimOrlandini.com takes the girls pictures every year. Quickly I will tell you why; she uses film (I do not like over photoshopped, fake looking, your kid’s eyes are glowing, that-does-not-even-look-like-them photos), she is sweet, gentle, and fun (perfect personality for my three girlies), she snaps pictures that look like real life (they have

Pretty Darn Funny by Desert Book

Monday, April 2nd, 2012 in About Me, Love of Local in Utah

I have to be honest, I am not entirely sure why the store Desert Book does not appeal to me. I don’t go in there, don’t order things online, I haven’t even thought of the place–for years and years! When I think about what they carry, I wonder why. I could pick up Christmas presents

77kids in Utah

Monday, April 2nd, 2012 in Love of Local in Utah

I kind of feel like I should start the post saying something that a 7 year old would say like…. “Nah nah nah nah nah nah I knew about 77kids before all ya’ll!”  I did, it’s true. We have been buying clothes online from them since Abby was 2! I recommend the brand to lots

To all my local friends: The SassyScoops.com ladies always take off a couple of months during the holidays and don’t go out to do reviews or write anything. I wanted to tell you that we are FINALLY back and reviewing a place I set up and can’t sing enough of their praises. I hope I don’t get

*New* Utah Museum of Natural History

Thursday, January 5th, 2012 in Love of Local in Utah

We bought a family pass to the new Utah Museum of Natural History less than a week ago and we already have been up there twice. I am just blown away at how they have put this museum together… I am finding it hard to write a post about it! Let me try to relay

Soldier Hollow Classic

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011 in About Me, Love of Local in Utah

I enjoy being a “dog person” and being married to someone who loves dogs even more than I do. Both of us come from families that don’t love dogs too much, and I don’t remember really talking about our love for dogs when we were dating. But right after we got married, I begged my

Kim Orlandini Photography

Monday, September 5th, 2011 in About Me, Love of Local in Utah

Beautiful Kim met us downtown at the library to do the girls’ annual photos and to take my sister’s bridal shots. Kim does birth story photos, newborn photos, kid photos, family photos, bridal photos and everything in between. She uses FILM, which means the photos are natural. She is caring, sweet, professional, talented and dependable.

Up House in Herriman Utah

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

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
