We had some business up in Morgan canyon today so we stopped off at Taggert’s Grill for lunch for an adventure up the mountains. I have been checking the weather all week and sure enough, it was as true on Monday as it was today…SNOW. Today was our first snow of the season. When it…
One of my favorite Fall traditions is heading down to Santaquin, UT and stopping at Rowley’s Red Barn for their famous apple cider slushi. Our family has been enjoying these weird yet incredibly delicious slushi’s for years and this week I was able to introduce Chris to this fabulous tradition. I think he’s sold. After…
Zions National Park Just a hop skip and a jump from St. George, and what I think of as (with no scientific data to back this up) the most popular of the National Parks in Utah, is Zion National Park. It’s easily accessible and with so much to do and see, I think it’s the…

 Utah Parade of Homes Last weekend I caught the tail end of the Utah Valley Parade of Homes. The sun was out, the wind was warm and the fellow lookers were out in droves anxious to see what new trends and special features were in this year’s homes. For myself, I have to say I…
Mom’s Pink and White Birthday Cake I made one of these for my roommate a year ago, and my mom requested it for her birthday. It turned out fantastic. Originally a white cake, I died half of it pink to make it pop. I made up a Raspberry frosting, and paired it with a white…
We had a brainstorm one day while walking down the stairs, looking at the bare walls near the front door of my condo. What if we made some wooden shadow boxes, painted them, and then found some colorful swimsuits and glued them in there? Well, it worked. From start to finish it probably took us…
