Heber Valley Railroad: The North Pole Express!!

North Pole Express at Heber Valley Railroad!!

December 8th, 15th, & 17th – 24th

What a fun family tradition! Take a ride on the North Pole Express aboard the Heber Valley Railroad to see Santa, Mrs. Claus, and even some elves! Once you reach the North Pole you don't have to wait in line, Santa and Mrs. Claus come right to your seat! (I really liked that part) My kids usually freak out when it's their turn to sit on Santa's lap, so this approach was much more fun for all of us. :)

When we got there we handed them our tickets and then received a nice new one to keep! The train was all decked out in holiday decor. My kids were ecstatic! My boy couldn't even contain himself..lol He was seriously bursting with pure joy!

We all sang Christmas carols, jingled bells, and my son did a lot of dancing in the isles! The kids were thoroughly entertained the entire time. And when they weren't singing they were enjoying the ride and looking out the windows.

We all also got hot cocoa with whipped cream in a souvenir mug, a cookie, and a special gift from Santa. My husband prepped our kids before we came by reading The Polar Express Story to them. They were super excited to board a train in their pajamas to get their special gift!

We went last weekend and it was sold out, but there are still openings if you want to take a family trip to the North Pole! You can call 435-654-5601 or buy North Pole Christmas Train Tickets online. See more details for the North Pole Express here. We really had a lot of fun! My kids will be talking about it for a long time!!

I received tickets for my family for review purposes. All opinions are 100% mine.
No other compensation was received.

Gardner Village Series: Country Furniture & Gifts

Gardner Village is a local treasure. If you've never found your way down there, October is the month to do it! The shop owners love Halloween! The village becomes a witch village and many times, shop owners will even dress up. On my most recent trip to Gardner Village, I stopped in at Country Furniture & Gifts which is a store very ready for Halloween.

The store is located in part of the old restored flour mill built in 1877 by Archibald Gardner in West Jordan, Utah. The store is very family oriented and houses many built-to-last items such as dining room tables, sofas, beds and chairs. They are also famous for their rug room where many of their rugs are still USA made. As they say, "A rug makes a huge impact for a minimum investment to any room."

The home accessories and giftware are amazing! They have all sorts of decor for all sorts of personalities. Please be sure to pay them a visit. It's worth it!

GIVEAWAY: ERGObaby Carrier! -CLOSED-

Winner

I have carried my little boy in a baby carrier since he was born. I love the convenience of strapping him in and not worrying about the hassle of a bulky stroller. It's also a comfort to hold my little guy close and safe. When I had the chance to review the ERGObaby carrier, I was thrilled to try something that could extend my baby wearing days.

My first test was a true one...Costco. I admit that I didn't really look at the directions when I put the carrier on in the parking lot. But I didn't need to! After one look at a picture in the user manual, I strapped my 20 pound boy in, placed my little girl in the shopping cart, and started on my way through the aisles of Costco. I immediately noticed that the carrier more evenly distributed my son's weight than my normal carrier and held my boy high so my legs weren't bumping into his. This made it significantly easier to tote him around the store. Indeed my normal trips to Costco are exhausting. But after…
