1. Taylorsville Dayzz (June 29-30): My family goes every year to this carnival and there really is not another like it! We go early to snag a spot on the grass for the firework show. They have fireworks on Friday and Saturday, and it is the best firework show I have seen in Utah! We love to go through the carnival, ride a few rides and we always make sure we grab a ‘Texas Twister’ drink.
2. Park Silly Sunday Market (Sundays, June-September): These Sundays in Park City are filled with so much fun! There is music, food, booths and lots of fun!
3. Salt Lake City Farmers Market (Saturdays, some Tuesdays, June-October): I love the SLC Farmers Market! It is every Saturday during the summer and a few Tuesdays. You can view the schedule here. There are so many local vendors and fresh produce! When we go, we love going across the street to get Bruges Waffles & Frites. They are so delicious! 
4. Stadium of Fire (July 4): It is a huge concert and firework show that is held at the BYU stadium every Fourth of July. I went with my family years ago and absolutely enjoyed every minute! Colin and I have talked about going this year because One Republic is playing! ahhh!
5. Draper Days (July 10-14): So much fun! I love going to each towns carnival because they are never ending fun! There is a parade, booths, food trucks, fireworks, family movie night and lets not forget the funnel cake!
6. Provo Rooftop Concert Series (July-September): There are lots of dates this year and so many good bands that will be playing! Plus, it is FREE. FREE! Who doesn’t love a free summer activity?
7. Bear Lake Raspberry Days (August 2-4): Bear Lake has the most amazing raspberry shakes and fun activities every summer! Plus you can make it a weekend and spend some time on the lake!
8. Nephi Demolition Derby (August 11, 2018): My family has a long standing tradition of going to at least one demolition derby each summer. There is nothing that says summer like a bunch of old cars running into each other! Last year we attended the Nephi Demolition Derby for the first time, and I can honestly say that no other Demo Derby compares! They had so many cars enter and a ton of different heats! It gets super intense! Some times cars flip over or catch on fire! It is one of my favorite summer traditions.
9. Twilight Concert Series (August-September): Every year in Salt Lake City they have concerts with some well known people. A couple years ago they have Kid Cudi! (if you didn’t know, I have a special place in my heart for Cudi.) They are having some amazing people play this year such as: Diplo and Robert DeLong!
10. Swiss Days (September 1-2): I absolutely LOVE Swiss Days. We go every year as a family and we make a whole day of it! We drive up early Saturday morning and go to the parade. They always have bagpipes which I love. After the parade we each lunch at the park where there are endless tents filled with goodies (clothes, crafts, activities, etc…) I would recommend getting the berries and cream, and a lemon yodel. The berries and cream is to die for, and the lemon yodel is a candy stick stuck in the middle of a lemon that makes lemonade (of sorts.)
Whatever you do this summer I hope you have fun! Maybe even create a summer bucket list! 
xo,
Sara

Ew, David. A big red rock. We were trying very h Ew, David. A big red rock. 

We were trying very hard not to connect with people 😉 so we played a few games of pickle ball, climbed up Dixie rock, and spent time in some slightly-warmer-than-salt-lake-city-weather. We’ve had a great start to 2021 & I love that journey for us.
My top 9 of #2020! What👏🏻a👏🏻year👏🏻 Even through the unexpected quarantine, COVID, & working from home, I am so so grateful for this past year. While the world has been going through such uncertain times, I’m so grateful I’ve been able to focus on my whole world at home. Colin & I have both been able to work from home since March. We have got to spend everyday together & I’ve got to spend everyday at home with Rowan. It has been an absolute dream watching her grow up 🙌🏻 all year I have been wishing this year would be over. Now I can’t believe today is the last day of 2020. This year has been the absolute fastest and slowest year of my life. I am excited to see what 2021 holds & all the adventures it’ll bring to our little family. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year 🎉 #happynewyear #littlemissrowanand

✈️SAVE MONEY TRAVELING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON✈️

Need a weekend adventure or staycation? We sure did! This past weekend we were in need of some serious time out and about! We used @shareavail to book an SUV to take us to some of our favorite places around Salt Lake City and it ended up being the perfect local “getaway”.

Avail is a car sharing service (like Airbnb for cars). You can book through their app (available on iOS) or online. We booked through the app, got a suburban (say hello to the newest soccer mom😉), and saved so much money compared to a traditional rental! It also saves you so much time! Instead of waiting in line to rent a car, you reserve one through the app, shuttle/drive to the Avail parking lot, and they hand you your keys! NO LINES & no upsells! They also use a 12-step cleaning process to clean each vehicle before & after each use, so you can feel safe to borrow any vehicle from Avail! 

Avail is not only a great way to save money while traveling, but did you know you can also 💚MAKE MONEY💚 through Avail while you travel to visit your loved ones during the holidays or if your car is just sitting at home?? 

All you have to do is sign up through Avail to have your car borrowed while you are gone (or if it's just collecting dust outside your home)! 
🔹Check the Avail website to see if your car qualifies to be borrowed
🔹Park your car at the Avail airport lot
🔹Get free airport parking while you are gone
🔹Free car cleaning
🔹If your car is borrowed, you can make up to $25 a day!

Crazy right?! So whether your car is sitting idle, you are visiting from out of town, spending the day exploring your city, or taking a staycation, @shareavail is the perfect way to experiencing all your adventures this year! Use the code "APRETTYPENNYGIRL" to get $50 off your first booking, now until Dec. 31st. Now tell me, are you going anywhere fun this holiday season?⬇️⬇️

Shopping during the holidays can be so stressful! Shopping during the holidays can be so stressful! I usually end up buying a bunch of Christmas gifts & end up spending wayyyy more than I plan to 🙈 but, I have been using @afterpayusa to buy now & pay later to make my holiday shopping stress-free. So many of my favorite retailers use @afterpayusa, like @oldnavy! (Everything is 50% off right now! RUN🏃🏼‍♀️)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@afterpayusa is the perfect way to shop now & pay later. It splits your total into 4 payments. Your first payment is due at checkout, & every payment after that is due every 2 weeks. See my stories to see what retailers are using AfterPay so you can have stress-free holiday shopping too! #sponsored #AfterpaytheHolidays #afterpayambassador
