Tummy Tub Spotlight

The Tummy Tub was one of last week’s Black Friday giveaways, and I think it’s one of the greatest newborn products around. Bathing is one of my least favorite things about having a newborn because it’s hard to keep them warm and comfortable in traditional baby bathtubs.
The Tummy Tub is so great because it simulates [...]

Z’Tejas Southwestern Grill

We had the pleasure of eating at Z’Tejas Southwestern Grill last night and it was good food and a fun evening. We haven’t been to the Gateway in a while, and other than finding a parking spot, it was fun to walk around and hear the street musicians and see all the fun shops.
Z’Tejas serves [...]

Goodbye Dusty Corners!

I have been going crazy getting all the dust and cobwebs out of my house with my handheld Oreck. There are several attachments, each perfect for a different job. Today I successfully cleaned all the corners in my stairs. I don’t know that I’ve done that since we moved here 3 years ago. Yikes!
That Oreck [...]

Fun at Thanksgiving Point & A GIVEAWAY!!!

Thanksgiving Point is one of the great things about the area we live in in Utah. Thanksgiving Point is a fabulous place that is “dedicated to providing guests one-of-a-kind, hands-on opportunity for discovery and an entertaining, educational experience in a variety of arts and sciences.” From my recent experience there, I can say that’s a [...]

Cherish Bound: “The Power of Story”

Several years ago I was watching the Rosie O’Donnell show and she said something that I have never forgotten. She said, “Everyone has a story that will break your heart,” and it’s so true. Everyone does have a story that will break your heart and hopefully many more that won’t. We all have stories, some [...]

Free Chiropractic Care

I wanted to share a sweet little something with all my local Utah readers – Hansen Chiropractic in Orem is celebrating 30 years of chiropractic care, and to give back to the community, they’re offering 3 free chiropractic visits to anyone who wants them.
First time patients can get x-rays, an exam, consultation, and chiropractic adjustments [...]

Northridge Media Goes Digital!

I posted a few months ago about Northridge Media, the publishing company behind the fabulous craft books Simply Handmade, Cards, Bead Trends, and Scrapbook Trends. You used to be able to buy these jam-packed idea books for around $7 per book, depending on which series, which isn’t a bad price considering how each book has [...]

Ready-to-Use Die Cuts

I’ve never used packaged die cuts until this week, and I’m a new fan. I got the summery/travel Citronella package from K & Company and have loved using it because it makes my pages go lots faster. Having all the designs and colors already done for you makes choosing a color scheme lots easier to [...]

Canon EOS D Series

I’ve been using a Canon Rebel XSi for almost the last year, and I’d love to try out one of the Canon EOS D series cameras to see if I need the extra features. On the Canon EOS 50D, the 3″ LCD screen is the same as the XSi, but the 50D has 15.1 megapixels [...]

Birthday Gift Ideas

I’m always on the lookout for unique toys and children’s products, and I found one I absolutely love. The Rock and Roll Ball Track by HABA is a great child’s gift idea. It’s a bit pricey, but it will last through as many children as you’re up to having. It’s made from solid wood, comes [...]

Blue Lemon Bistro

So I live in Utah County, Utah. Most of the time, if you want to do something cool or eat at a fabulous restaurant, you have to go to Salt Lake. No longer, my fellow Utah County-ans, because a new restaurant is now open in Highland, and you really should go there because it’s delicious, [...]
