I’ve started a new adventure the past couple of months. I’ve always been a fan of Salt Lake Magazine. They do a beautiful spread and great online content about my hometown. I’ve started writing for their online ‘Farm to Table’ blog about local food, farmers, sips and the other exciting…

We’ve taken a little hiatus due to a bout with a Martian Death Flu and GHI (General Holiday Insanity). We are still taking baby steps in the blogging world and have learned so much in 2014 about ourselves and this new path we’ve joined. Thanks for taking the journey with…
