Parrish Place

This is a cute little Bed And Breakfast that Ryan and I went to for Valentines Day. We had never been to a B&B before, but it was so much fun. The home is so beautiful and the rooms are very nice. If you are looking for a B&B in the Salt Lake City area, try this one. They have a hot tub, internet, free drinks, a sun room, and breakfast brought to your room in the morning. It was a very nice experience.

Animal Ark

This is the pet store where I bought my baby puppy Lily. The pet shop is staffed with knowledgeable people and were very helpful when we adopted Lily. They give the puppy their first shots and give you a few days to get the dog to a vet for them to check out. And if something is wrong with the dog, they can refund the money. They also give you 20% off all your puppy supplies for a week after you buy the doggie. I still go there to buy her dog food and toys.
I bought some fish there once too. And they were very helpful when trying to decide which fish would live well together. They offer insurance for the fish (which I opted out of, but that's up to you.) I just like this place a lot.

Nickel City


Formerly known as the Nickelcade, this is a great family friendly arcade. They even have laser tag and food. This place is so much fun. And the games take nickels instead of quarters. There is an entrance fee, but it is well worth it. This is a great place for a date night, family fun or randomness. And their new location has brought many improvements making it a much nicer experience.

The Chocolate


This cafe is the cutest thing you'll ever see!!!! I think it was originally a home that was turned into a bakery. They have cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, yum! They do catering too. I ordered the cazookie which is two cookies made in a pan together with ice cream on top. Sooooo good. And it is made fresh (literally - you have to wait for them to make this item - totally worth it.)
The seating areas are all throughout the house and are decorated very nicely. Great food, great atmosphere, great place!

Pizzeria 712

This is the most amazing pizza you will ever eat!!! They are all about fresh food and they do a great job of it. The mozzarella cheese is hand pulled. The toppings are unique and divine and the crust is light and delightful. We ordered dessert once and even the cake was made fresh just for us. Sooooo goooood. I sing praises to this place and their amazing pizza and wonderful atmosphere.

Rod Works

This store has the cutest home decor. Most of the items are made of iron and the products are so beautiful. I bought a beautiful piece with butterflies all over it to put on our ledge in the kitchen. So cute. Maybe sometime I'll add a picture of it. I wanted to buy everything I saw. And I am for sure going back when I need to buy a gift for someone or whenever I have extra money to spend on cute stuff. There are 5 locations - Layton, Draper, Lehi, Springville and Vegas. Here's the website:

China Garden Restaurant

Also nicknamed Best Chinese In Provo this place is sooo delicious. After going there a couple of times the owner will know who you are and ask how things are going each visit. The place is owned by a Chinese couple. The food is INCREDIBLE!!!!! I literally cannot sing enough praises in regards to the food. If you go there with a large group, order several dishes and share them all. You will not leave disappointed or hungry. It really is the Best Chinese in Provo. Go there! Always!

This website has a lot of information about tons of different relevant life topics. I haven't seen all there is to see on it yet because there is so much. But it organized in a very easy way to find what you are looking for. It addresses things like Family, Care-giving, Emotional Well-being, Daily Living, Children, Health and Wellness, Pets, etc. Check it out and see what it has to offer you. It is part of Utah Health Services (or at least that is my connection to it.)

Sammy's Cafe




Love burgers? Me too. I didn't used to. But it is places like this that helped me to not just like burgers, but to love, enjoy and seek them out. This is a cute little cafe with lots of burger options. They have special deals going on at different time and different days of the week. The prices were good, the service was great and the food was excellent. The fries were different (in a good way) than other places. Not sure how to describe them, but they were really good! Each burger is made to order which made it really easy for me to not have pickles and onions on my burger, but Ryan could have them on his. I recommend this place to burger lovers everywhere. Oh - and they have dessert. Yum!!!

All About Pets

I love the vet that I go to. I like the location. I like the people. I like the services they provide. Making appointments is easy. They have a very good filing system and keep track of when your pet needs visits and shots, etc. They are very kind to the animals. The office is very aesthetically pleasing as well. They have always been able to answer all of my questions and are very helpful to me as a first time pet owner. I have had someone mention that they are one of the more expensive vets around town, and I have no idea what prices should be on pet services. However, the comparisons I have made don't give me the impression that they are expensive. When Lily went in to get spayed, there were different options for various things. They were very good about explaining the options, giving up front pricing, and not pressuring me to spend more money. As far as I'm concerned, this place really is all about the pets.

Jay's Jungle

This is a cute little pet shop in "Historic Downtown Provo." If you want a pet bird or a pet fish, this is the place to go! Other animals aren't as prominent in this shop, but if ever I want another pet fish, this is where I'm coming. And if for some bizarre reason I ever decide to buy a bird (which I doubt I ever will because they scare me) this is where I would go to find one.

Jeppson's Floral and Gift



This is a cute little flower shop that I pass by every time I go to Smith's on 200 West in Provo. So I decided I would go in and check it out. The shop is really cute and the employees were very helpful and knowledgeable. Their prices are clearly posted and the arrangements are beautiful. They have a 72 hour freshness guarantee on all their flowers though they usually last even longer than that; I got my flowers over a week ago and they are just now starting to wilt. I never thought 3 little carnations could look so pretty, but they wrapped them up with green leaves and it was so cute. And once I got them home and into a vase - so cute! They also deliver flowers to nearby areas. They are open Monday-Friday from 8am-6pm and Saturdays from 8am-5pm
Check it out.
