Being a work from home and stay at home mom, I love to get out and do lots of activities with my kids and family. We keep so busy with activities most of the time that we are constantly on the go, even if it's just taking a nice drive together to chat about things. Often I kept hearing over and over again from other stay at home moms "I am so bored all day long! There is nothing to do with my kids besides go to the park, or activities that cost an arm and a leg!" I was shocked to hear this, as we find so many free and cheap things to do and not enough time to do it in!
SO....I started this blog as a way to show other moms and families that there are so many things to do, especially in Utah, you just have to know where to look! Adventure is something you have to go out and find! "Bored people are boring people."
Reporting On: Activities in all areas of Utah
I have been married since October 1999 to my favorite hubby ever (okay, my only hubby ever, but still my favorite!). Together we have two children, and we love to be out and about finding new adventures. We like to do anything BUT stay at home! We don't care where we're going, or what we're doing, as long as we are having fun together!
I am a work-at-home mom, and I also co-own a DJ business with my husband. In our family, we believe in hard work, but we also believe that you need to have fun and ENJOY life! Some of my other jobs/projects include:
- I am a contributor for the Salt Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau blog
- I write for Today's Mama as a local blog writer.
- I write Salt Lake City CityGuides for SheKnows.com, a site by and for women.
- I manage the social media for a few companies, including local companies Gines Auto Service, NOW 97.9 FM, and 1430 KLO AM.
Other blogs that I manage are: Gines Auto Service, Squawkbox Sound, Powell Family Favorite Recipes, Michelle's Favorite Books, and also a fun one with my best friend, Celebrity Posessions Museum.
