Last week my friend Tracy showed me the Sam’s Club catalog, and asked me if I’d like to attend the annual Holiday Tasting with her one day this weekend. Of course I was all for it. Each year I host a Christmas Eve gathering, and not being one to cook I love to serve delicious pre-made appetizers, entrees, and desserts. So we thought this would be a good way to start the menu planning.

Treehouse is a private, non-profit organization funded by admissions, membership and program fees, donations, and grants. Parents Magazine placed it on their list of Top 50 Children’s Museums. One visit and you’ll see why.

With temperatures hovering in the mid-fifties today and a gorgeous blue sky beckoning us, we decided to head over to Jensen Nature Park in Syracuse. The 20-acre park has nature trails perfect for walking or bike riding, and a 7-acre fishing pond. It’s a really nice place to go if you just want to [...]

My favorite restaurant in Utah is Thaifoon at the Gateway in Salt Lake City. The food is always delish, the atmosphere manages to be relaxing, elegant, and hip all at the same time, and I knew without a doubt that the ambience and menu would impress any New Yorker.

Ensign Peak is a short (about .5 mile each way) but steep (400-foot incline) that leads to sweeping panoramic vistas of Salt Lake City and the valley. The hike to historic Ensign Peak was made famous on July 26, 1847, just two days after the Mormon pioneers arrived in Salt Lake City, when Brigham Young and his exploring party climbed it to survey the Salt Lake valley.

I’d never been to Antelope Island in the fall before, and I must say it was the ideal time of year to go. If you’ve ever been there in warmer months you know how annoying the brine flies can be, to the point where you can’t even open your windows or get out of your car. Not the case in October. It was simply spectacular.

If you’ve ever thought about joining a book club, I highly recommend it. I’m a member of two, and I love them both. Book clubs are a fantastic way to find out about good books and have a chance to discuss them with people you like. When a group of people all read the same thing and get together, you inevitably get a lot of different opinions, and it’s really interesting to see things from other people’s perspective for a while.

A dark house sits on an Orem street. It is not like many houses you are sure to meet. No light shines from the windows. There is no answer at the door–and in the yard some very scary monsters are waiting for some gore!

It’s a bewitching time to visit Gardner Village! Every October the witches come out to play as pumpkins, corn stalks, and harvest decorations transform this charming little shopping village with the Halloween spirit. The shops and eateries are crammed with tourists, but the crowds don’t diminish the quaintness…instead you’ll wonder why you’ve waited so [...]
