If you’re anything like me, you’d rather listen to local radio. That satellite, streaming, online thing isn’t really my thing. Unless of course, I’m on a road trip – then I’ll use Spotify or stuff I’ve downloaded on iTunes. Moving to Boise and finding stations that I liked was first on my list (well…maybe not…
I remember watching the news during our first month and wondering where all these places were that they’d mention. 6 On Your Side gives regional weather forecasts and I had no clue where the hell the Magic Valley was, or what cities were included in the west central region. I didn’t even know that the…
I’m sure that Idaho is full of amazing Realtors. We were connected with Lori through a friend in Utah. She has an endless amount of energy and she’s spunky! Lori worked tirelessly to help us in our home search. Our search involved several weekend trips from Utah, FaceTime walkthroughs, phone calls and emails. It was…
We are a cookie family. Sunday evening tradition is making cookies (and mostly eating all the dough). We’ll take a good cookie over cake or cupcakes any day! When we heard that the Utah based company, Chip Cookie Co. had just opened a location in Boise, we had to do it! If you’ve never had…
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last 6 months, Idahoans LOVE Idaho! There’s a lot to love, it’s a big state. I don’t know if Idaho just has a really cool shape or what, but they love their Idaho car decals. Nearly every car I pass has something. I think it’s fun! Utah…
It’s true – I’m a total soda snob! There’s nothing better than a cold and refreshing fountain drink. Utah is the trifecta of special soda stops: Pop Shop, Swig, Sodalicious, Fizz and several others. In addition to these specialty shops, there are Maverick Stores on nearly every corner and McDonald’s almost always delivered the perfect…
I LOVE Idaho drivers! Coming from Utah where everyone drives 85 mph and 1″ from your bumper, it is so nice to be able to turn your blinker on and have someone actually let you into traffic. Shocking! Some would argue that Idaho drivers are awful – but it’s been a pleasant experience for me…
I remember rolling into town and feeling like I was totally out of my element. I didn’t know anything about B-Town and all of the sudden, I was craving connection. I was comfortable in my small Utah bubble. I had friends and family, I had a great job, I knew where the closest grocery store…
The kids have been out of school for 2 full weeks! It’s been a great break for them and I’ve appreciated the break from the homework, but I’m anxious to get these kids back on a schedule! It’s been pretty cold here in Boise and we’ve been on the lookout for fun and affordable indoor…
So…you may be asking yourself how this blog started. Allow me to explain. My name is Celeste and in one week from today, we will officially be residents of Idaho. You see, my husband, Ron works for a great company: GoEngineer. They sell design software like SolidWorks and PDM sort of stuff. They also do 3D…
