We spent this last weekend with family in Saint George, doing the usual, and I loved it. We caught up with family, lounged by the pool, listened to lots of country music, had fresh smoked tuna from my cousin, played games with the kids, stayed up late, and laughed a lot. I will forever feel so lucky to have the family that I do. One of my favorite parts of the weekend was taking out…
This past weekend, Blake and I hopped in the car and road-tripped to Southern Utah for a wedding. Our friends Katelin and Tony got married. They both have a love of Southern Utah and it’s red rock mountains, and most of their family and friends are in Southern California and Salt Lake City, so it was the perfect spot for a destination wedding for them. They had the wedding in the little town of Springdale,…
Last week, Blake and I met my side of the family for a camping trip in Eastern Washington, at a place called Lake Roosevelt. My family is super close, but spread out distance wise, so it’s rare these days to get everyone in the same place at once. I love and miss them all so much from down here in California, so it was nice being in such close quarters ;). We stayed at the…
This past weekend, we finally went to the Sawdust Festival. You guys…I LOVED it. The Sawdust Festival takes place every summer in Laguna Beach. It’s known for handmade jewelry, blown glass, pottery and ceramics, photographer, and paintings. A dear friend of mine, Katelin, is about to get married, so we met her there to find some gold rings for her big day. My favorite part of the day was when we stopped to watch a glass…
Just like peanut butter and jelly, peas and carrots, Rocky and Bullwinkle, to name a few, summer nights and the fair is one of those classic combos. And it only happens during a small window every year, so you have to go for it when it’s available. Growing up in Utah, they have some pretty good fair offerings. Most of them are smaller, individual fairs, but they have all the necessities like fried food, farm animals and…
As Jen mentioned in her post about our Utah anniversary weekend, we had to celebrate our anniversary later than it’s actual date. But we were totally fine with that and one of the main reasons was because of the Bluebird Café at Sundance.Free People Shirt | Zara Jeans |Palladium Boots (on sale for $79 from $150!) We went to Bluebird for the first time a few years ago and loved it. We’ve been really wanting to make…
Our anniversary was June 29th, but with the business of work and life we couldn’t celebrate on the actual day. We decided to make up for it with a trip last weekend to the mountains we got married in. More specifically, we went back to the exact spot we got married in, by Blake’s dad, just a year ago. If you didn’t already know, Blake and I were married in Sundance, Utah, which is where…
It may sound silly, but if you travel with jewelry you know it can be frustrating. I’ve always struggled with mine getting tangled, lost, or tarnished. I’d throw it all in a little bag together, or just into my toiletry kit and then get frustrated when it became a mess. I finally decided I needed to do something different, so I started the hunt for a good jewelry travel case. My absolute favorite that I found is…
Fishing is on the rise. Big time. Anytime I jump on Instagram and get my scroll on, I’m guaranteed to run into a variety of fishing posts. For those landlocked crews, fly fishing seems to be method of choice. For those coastal crews, spearfishing. I’ve dabbled in the former, in the past, but the latter is starting to carve a solid chunk of time and interest in my life. So I decided to throw this…
Guys – big news! Sundance Resort in Utah is about to open something really amazing – a zip line tour up and down the mountain! We recently had the opportunity as a family (the Nyman side) to test out the new ZipTour at Sundance Resort and ohhhh my goodness – it was unreal. The whole experience was magic. Utah has been having some crazy storms, so we weren’t sure if the weather would stop us from…
