- I bet some of you are sick of me talking about skiing, but we keep getting snow, so we are still skiing. Caleb and I hiked up to the back side of Alta and skied down. It was a good day.
- March Madness is down to the final four, all number one seeds. Who are you cheering for?
- The very best.
- This weekend, we are headed to San Francisco for spring break. We are going to a Warriors game and a Giants game. Any other recommendations for us?

- On the blog this week, a new favorite cookie and a simple spring side dish!
- I watched The Life List movie on Netflix! I loved it!
- Refresh your bedding for spring! Sheets, comforter, duvet, and throw! Lots of color options!
- How to host a cookbook club! So fun!
- Love this comfortable set: top and shorts. Also, a great jacket for spring!
- Do you have an evening routine?
- A flattering swimsuit. I like this one too!
- We are going to San Francisco for spring break and I need a book to take on the plane, any suggestions?
- March’s best sellers!
- Gardening trends for 2025. I ordered more dahlia tubers and I can’t wait to plant them in May! We still have snow, so I have to wait:)
- Cute pjs for spring!
- This appetizer is calling my name!
- If you live in Utah, go to Rockwell Ice Cream to try my Cadbury Cookie flavor. It’s a vanilla ice cream base with my Cadbury cookies pieces, toasted coconut, and extra Cadbury mini eggs. It’s SO good! The flavor will be there all of April! And check out my Cadbury mini egg tip HERE!
Hi!
I have a few kid-friendly recommendations for you in SF! I lived there for years & now live about 30 miles south of the city.
Ice cream – Mitchell’s, Salt & Straw, Humphrey Slowcombe’s
Pizza: Tony’s, Che Fico (at Chase Stadium)
Culture & Fun: Tour of Alcatraz (pre-book), Walk through Chinatown, rent bikes & cross the Golden Gate Bridge (careful, please!!) to Sausalito & have lunch & take the ferry back to SF, walking over the bridge is fun too, free walking tours, hop on / hop off bus.
Have fun!!
Andie
Thank you so much!!
I love the ski pictures, and your grilled cheese looks amazing. Have fun in San Francisco.
Thank you!
You must take the boys to Alcatraz! It’s so interesting!
Thank you!
Where was the pastry photo taken from? Is it a local Utah bakery? I’m dying to find a good pastry shop.
It’s Beaumont Bakery in Salt Lake City.

I just finished The Favorites and recommend it.
Thank you!
Josh,
No…not sick of your always gorgeous ski photos! I’m now in flat Kansas but used to live in Ogden and miss those breathtaking mountains of yours.

We are glad you are enjoying the mountain photos!
I agree with other person that you MUST take the boys on the ferry across for self-guided Alcatraz tour! Then fish and chips at Fisherman’s Wharf.
Also, DO take the driverless Waymo car. The boys will be over the moon excited. We just returned from a President’s Day trip there with a 14 year old boy and he’s still talking about these two adventures. (Just download the Waymo app when you get into town. Works just like Uber)

Thanks for sharing! I am glad you had fun!
hey girl- great list! Yummy food and cute clothes. Y’all have fun in San Francisco. That pastry photo looks so amazing! Have a blessed day
Thank you!!
We live in San Francisco with sporty boys around the same age. Alcatraz is super fun and the boat ride is beautiful. Definitely recommend the ferry building farmers market Saturday morning (for mom!). Golden Gate Park is so lush right now, and it’s fun to ride bikes through the park out to the ocean and grab lunch (Hook Fish is a fave). Fort Point is free and interesting, at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. Have fun!
Thanks so much! We are excited!
Society of Lies by Lauren Ling Brown. A great mystery-suspense read
It was also a Reese’s book club choice
Great! Thank you!
Bring a sweatshirt and jacket it is very windy in San Francisco today. (Friday) Be sure to go to the Ferry Building in San Francisco. Golden Park is very pretty this time of year. If you have time Fioli in Woodside has beautiful gardens.
Thank you! I am packing lots of layers!
