Thursday: dance parties, open mic and a good cause at 10:02 AM


Yesterday sure was a busy day! I got to meet some rad locals at the Ogden Tweetup and eat 2 for 1 tacos. Afterwards i stopped by trudy's poppin' johnny's for some of their amazing ice cream. Later i joined a cooking class on google+ hangout with a chef on the east coast and made an amazing meal for my family and the rad little one i was babysitting. Finally i got to head out and hang out with my ladies, make some new friends and sing embarrassingly out of tune. Yeah, it was a good day.
Since today is Thursday i would love if everyone would check out the Ogden Outdoor adventure show. you can tune into 88.1 FM , listen online or tune into their podcast.

MOTHER'S DAY GIVEAWAY!! at 10:24 AM

With mothers day just around the corner i wanted to do a little something special for out local mamas. Some great local businesses have generously donated some gifts for a couple lucky locals to win. Everyone is welcome to enter to win a prize for themselves or their mama.
So what are the prizes?
Queen bee is a specialty chocolate and gifts shop. they have retro toys, beautiful house wares, cute and chic gifts and of course delectable chocolates (try the seafoam chocolate!). Their shop is oh so cute and it's connected to harvest bread, so check it out today! The queen bee shop has generously donated a gift basket full of goodies including:
A beautiful Mother's Day card from MeriMeri (explaining the most important meals of the day as chocolate!)
A yummy Chocolove bar: Cherries in 55% Dark Chocolate
A yummy Santander bar: 70% Dark Chocolate with Passion Fruit
Flea Market clear glass votive with 12 4" mini tapers (in pink and white)
Wish Capsule: Write a secret love note, wish a friend good fortune, write your dream, or clues to a scavenger hunt!



Next up is a dinner and coffee package from 2 of my favorite places! Roosters is offering up a $20.00 gift certificate, take you mama out to dinner or treat yourself to some delicious desserts! If you haven't gone to roosters you are certain missing out! They brew their own beer (and root beer!) and have the best burgers in town, hands down. Along with your roosters gift certificate you will get a $10 gift certificate to Ground for coffee on historic 25th. This location is run by an amazing rad mama named Sadie who not only makes a killer late but she also does a lot for supporting local and she is just as sweet as pie.

Last but certainly not least is a $10 gift card to uncommon grounds soon to be "cafe mergot", a henna session with Mehndi dancer henna and a beautiful pair of earring from local crafter/blogger/mama Liv's etsy shop liv(e) and love. Liv is super awesome and runs an adorable BLOG about her mama adventures! Candice of mehndi dancer henna is a local belly dancer and an amazing artist who recently had her henna art up at weber state! Uncommon grounds is going through some major changes including adding a smoke shop for hookah and smoking accessories. Uncommon recently held a fund raiser/pet food drive for a local dog named Mora who needed surgery and a home (she has been adopted!) as well as for local families in need of pet food. They regularly host local music, are a safe space for all walks of life and they even have an air hockey table! Check them out and see whats new! You could probably even schedule the henna session at the cafe for a little caffeine and beauty session!

This giveaway ends Saturday so you have 2 days to enter. Entering is easy just like the giveaway sponsors on face book and comment on this blog post and telling me what you did! each separate comment is an entry so the more you "like" the better your chances of winning! Remember to leave your email! If i can reach you, you cant win!

  My associate and I actually enjoyed reading this blog post, I used to be simply itching to know do you trade featured posts? I'm at all times trying to find someone to make trades with and merely thought I'd ask.
