Monday : recaps, mountains and garden parties at 10:08 AM

OH what a wonderful weekend! I went to the Ogden music festival, met some Ogden rad mamas and got surprise visit from my in-laws. I am sunburned, stuffed full of good food and my feet feel like i ran a marathon...yeah life is good and it finally feels like SUMMER!

The Ogden music festival changed locations and was held in North Fork, UT instead. The views were amazing and the music was beautiful. I was a volunteer at the kids booth which was fun and at time complete chaos. I suppose it meant the kids were having fun if at the end of the day the booth looked like a Technicolor war zone, right?

I wish i could have stayed longer but i had to get back home to get some work done. Saturday was a day of rest and hospital visits when my daughter got a deep cut inside her nose (long story) and needed to get some liquid stitches. Luckily, it was nothing a lollipop couldn't fix.

Sunday was a sweltering 84 degrees out and the girl child and i went off to Lions club park for some Ogden Rad Mamas fun. The poor kids were all too hot to play and huddled at the bottom of the twisty slide in the only patch of shade. We somehow managed to get them all to play for a whole 2 hours before they started to look like they were melting.

A perfect end to a perfect weekend can not be had without a dinner at roosters. My in-laws have never been to Ogden, UT and we wanted to take them to our favorite place for dinner, of course they loved it too. After getting home the food ITIS kicked in and i passed out for the night.


Now it's Monday...back to work but that doesn't mean back to boring. The sun isn't going anywhere and there is plenty to do here in beautiful Ogden, Utah!
tonight check out GROW'S garden party:
Join us for some fun, feasting and great socializing for women and men at our June Garden Party. The party will be held in the beautiful yard of Matt and Dayna Balls where we held it last year. Last year's turn out was terrific and all had a great time.
This year, our featured guest will be Deja, who will be offering her unique talent and teaching all those who are interested in learning some African dance, beginning about 7:00 pm. We will also be joined by Sharon Sweeten, Ogden's finest elemental intuitive, offering short, personal fairy readings and Harmony who will be there with her henna and glitter body paint for those who are interested. There is no charge for these services but heart felt donations are always welcome.
The party will be a potluck, so bring something to share and BYOB if you would like to drink alcoholic beverages. As a special treat, the Lost Texan will be bringing by some kind of smoked meat in their very own bar-BBQ sauce for all of us to get a good taste of what they do. For more information on the Lost Texan, go to ww.losttexanbbq.com It should be really fun party and we hope to see you there.
check out GROWS facebook group for directions!

Also today there are a lot of art being displayed around town check out these few places to see it:
*Borrowed earth emporium: Various local artists as well as jewelry, lavender and even bikes on display.
*Universe city gallery:Painter Karen Thurber and wood artist William Hackett will be among the featured artists during the month of June. Sales proceeds from this exhibit will go to community outreach programs sponsored by Ogden Unitarians congregation

Mojos Ogden show review 4/28/11 at 1:38 PM

Last night at Mojo's in Ogden,Utah was magic. It took a bit for the he crowd to warm up, it wasn't the usual Mojo goers and everyone was waiting for someone else to get up. I stood in front of the stage as Dirty Blonde took over and soon people gathered around until everyone was standing bobbing their heads even a little hip shake here and there. Dirty Blonde rocked it and the lead singers voice was uniquely epic. Dirty Blonde is a little bit rockabilly, a little bit blues, some indie here and there but mostly just good old fashioned rock n roll. This band is well worth a trip to see them live, a band like this is not easily forgotten.

The Dignitaries came on stage with so much energy it was near impossible not to dance around. The lead singer was a powerhouse of energy and knew exactly how to get the crown groovin'. What can only be described as reggae punk with some rock and roll thrown in for good measure, The Dignitaries are anything short of pure joy. There were a couple times that things seemed a bit off beat, more so due to either excitement or technical difficulties than performance, but overall all i wanted to do was skank and drink a mohito and by the second song no one was able to stay sitting down.

Like a step back into a time to the era of Motown , Damato's voice serenades and soothes. His lyrics are genuine with messages that empower and make you want to be better person. Damato has a truly soulful voice and he so effortlessly turns a painful experience into beautiful music that forces you to feel what he feels. By the end of the song the weight of it all lifted, and you're free. Damato is force to be reckoned with , and i am honored to have been given a glimpse of something so powerful.

Hugo came on stage like a modern cowboy, like a cold beer on a summer day. His music has a way of making you forget that anyone is around, you want to dance and sway like you're all alone. I was especially excited to see Hugo live since watching his Thai music video for his song 'Sai Lom'; It was just so beautiful and moving despite my not understanding a single word. Hugo is a mix of blues, Appalachia, soul and rock n roll creating a unique blend that is comparable to no other. Hugo's performance was really one i will never forget, effortless and magic, a perfect ending to a perfect show.

Oh what a lovely day! There a tiny bit of sun coming out and no rain...yet. What a perfect day to take a stroll around your neighborhood and perhaps meet someone new. Last night i was feeling especially domestic and baked a lovely strawberry lemon pie. I forgot how therapeutic pie baking can be.

sprinter at 11:05 AM

Today is the perfect example of the transition from winter to spring, sprinter if you will. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and there is a thin layer of snow on the ground. It's not too cold, not too warm and nothing has bloomed quite yet here in Ogden, Utah. Spring is on the cusp, i can feel it in my bones and my skin aches for months of sunshine. Yesterday i got some lovely news. i was awarded a blog award by the lovely Trissta at "living on the chic" blog. Her blog is all about living chic on the cheap. i know we can all relate to that! she gives herself a monthly budget and then blogs about how she makes its all happen . So my picks for blog awards are these 5 incredible blogs:
Delightfully Tacky- when i need style inspiration this is where i go. She had diy tutorials, beautifully creative outfits and amazing hair! From her blog i learned how to make a faux bois fridge, that blowfish shoes is amazing and that mixing prints is a good thing. check out her blog i just know you'll love it.
The beehive blog: life with the queen- This lady is a local Utah blogger and she is very much in the know. check out this blog to learn about all the good things in Utah and to find out about all the cool people too. if there is a queen bee in Utah this lady certainly is it.
Little chief honeybee- This blogger has the best giveaways and the best hair! She is incredible creative with her wardrobe and has a super cute STORE. Check out her blog for fantastic prizes and colorful inspiration.
Poor girl eats well- As a mama on a budget with a love of gourmet blogs like these keep my dinners fresh. Poor girl on a budget teaches you how to eat like a rock star on a roadies budget. Try one of her many creative dinners and be amazed at how well you can eat with so little.
Single dad laughing- In a world of mommy bloggers a dad blog is a breath of fresh air. Single dad laughing has it all humor, the cute factor and inspirational posts. It isn't east being a single parent but single dad laughing does it with grace. I have been addicted to this salt lake city blog for a while and i just know you will be too.


Today is usually a day of relaxation but in celebration of this beautiful day here are a few things you can do
on this April Sunday.
The first 2011 clean up of the Ogden river parkway
Bring your boots, gloves, garbage sticks, trash bags, hats, jackets and smiles!This is an event for the whole family, we will have a few extra garbage bags and gloves, so come on down and show your love for Ogden Utah.We're going up the South side, coming back down the North side and there is talk of a BBQ and prizes for O.H.M. members/supporters at the end of the trail.

saturday- where did spring go? at 10:13 AM


Saying that i was disappointed when i woke up this morning to find that the blue skies were gone is an understatement. But its no surprise that spring is known for its erratic weather and in no time we will all be trying to escape the heat of summer. oh summer you just cant come fast enough. To get your mind of the gloom and doom of today and the knowledge of the snow storm coming tomorrow head out to one of tonight's rad shows.

MOJOS rocks Saturdays- MILAGRE of Brooklyn, NY will be performing in Ogden live@mojos. Milagre is signed by Kill Rock Stars. Local bands are OLD WORLD (formerly Matt Ben Jackson) will be offering their newly pressed CD, Descriptive, Marny Proudfit, Kat Day and more... This will be an amazing show. 7pm/7bux.

Brewskis Saturday showcase- mullet hatchet- all southern rock all the time just check out their promo video HERE

Acoustic Saturdays at the bee with brett turner- The music of Brett Turner has something most musicians only dream of. With guitar riffs that rival Tom Petty, lyrical storytelling reminiscent Sheryl Crow and Bob Dylan, and the ability to portray the rock and roll spirit of Mr. Johnny Cash himself, this talented one-man band is inventing his own genre. While touring the country promoting his debut studio album 'All Across America' Brett's infectious tunes have spread to fans young and old. As he continues to grow as a singer, songwriter, and performer, his style and stage presence have become unmatchable and all his own. 'All Across America' boasts ads on Spike TV and MTV2 and has been highly praised for its originality, and its ability to warrant the question, which song is my favorite?

Wine cellar's 7th anniversary with shaky trade-Returning for a second appearance....this band gives you all that, and then some! And, if ya missed 'em at the Mardi Gras Pirate Party...then here's another chance! Don't let the "Good Times" miss ya (again)!! They gonna fill you up....with they "funky" stuff!Cover: $5

Thursday, one day closer to spring at 11:57 AM

i love this photo from terra45
I can not wait for winter to be over with, no more colds, no more bulky sweaters HELLO sandals and sundresses! I think the novelty of wearing leggings and high socks has worn off and my legs are starting to look a bit florescent. On the upside spring cleaning is upon us and i am thinking a clothing swap is in order. Anyone interested?
I have some news! Indie Ogden and Urban Chic have been plotting a fashion show for some time now. It is finally time to announce it and i am so very excited. Were thinking an April spring show and we need some volunteers. If you'd like to model, play music, do hair or makeup or help with set up let me know at indieogden@gmail.com.
on beautiful sunny days such as these it seems a terrible waste to remain indoors. I on the other hand will be using my nettie pot repeatedly and drinking tea to relieve my troubled sinuses. so For all of you not suffering from sinus pain put on your spring shoes and hop to it.

Chuks vintage fashion show at 12:52 PM

Last night was incredible! Thank goodness for the gentle encouragement of friends who helped it all happen because it was definitely a night i wont soon forget. Kamikazes bar hosted Chuks vintage clothing fashion show with Ulysses and the house was packed. The clothes were all vintage finds from Chuks vintage clothing owned by Carrie Gerber. Everything from 40's Hollywood beauty to 80's new wave glam graced the stage as the models stomped down the runway. I know i was chanting a little ' please don't fall' mantra in my head as i went on stage but luckily no one fell and we all had a blast. Ulysses gave an amazing performance as well, getting everyone on their feet and dancing.

Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure. Have a good day folks! I gotta go drink some emergen-c and watch Star Wars and rest. What a wild night! Oh and be sure to check out the Indie Ogden video here http://vimeo.com/20687913
