A couple of fun places to check out, a coupon and a {giveaway}

One of my favorite parts of blogging is being able to check out really fun local places and share them with you!

A few weeks ago, I was able to go to a really fun bloggers event at a beautiful store - Alice Lane!

If you are looking for beautiful, transitional furniture and unique accessories for your home, you should need to head over to Alice Lane.

Holly, Kristen, and Kirstin

Kirstin from 6th Street Design School, put together this fun event. It was wonderful getting together in such a beautiful store, and delicious food. Yum!

The owner, Jessica was delightful. She has put so much thought into every single thing into Alice Lane. If you are ever in Orem, be sure to check it out!

And then a couple of weeks ago I tried out an awesome new restaurant -- Blue Lemon.

They have two locations, one in Highland and the other is the new downtown location. We met up at the downtown location and boy is it cool! I love the modern vibe, the views are incredible and the food is healthy, quick and delicious. Perfect for families!!

Check out this view!!

Their menu is really varied, so everyone will be able to find something they love!

I had the tacos. yum!

Plus, nothing is ever frozen. Their food is so fresh!
