Hyatt House Provo/Pleasant Grove Review & Giveaway...

*This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hyatt
House Provo/Pleasant Grove. All opinions are 100% mine.*

My hubby and I are thrilled to tell you about our amazing stay at the Hyatt House Provo/Pleasant Grove...


As soon as we walked in the hotel we loved the fresh smell and elegant feel.

The lobby was really classy looking and nice and clean...


From check-in t0 check-out the staff really went out of their way to make sure our stay was incredible!

We stayed in a fabulous One Bedroom King Suite...

Our room was perfect and so comfy!

I am super picky with my bed, sheets and pillows. The bed and bedding in our room was great, we both slept well and woke up feeling refreshed. 


We love that our room even had a fully stocked kitchen. There was a place for my hubby and I to sit and eat and the other side was perfect for me to use as a desk to get some work done. 

It's the neat little things that really make this hotel extra special. They had not only one, but two full length mirrors in our room. 



There was one by the front door so you can see how you look before you leave, and one in the bedroom.

It also had two closets which we thought was awesome!

Next we spent some time at the swimming pool...



The pool was so nice and relaxing. We loved seeing the mountains in the background. They are so beautiful!


After a long day of fun we were able to soak in the hot tub. It was just the right temperature and felt so good.

They also have a really nice fitness center...


It is great that I can keep up my workouts even when I am away from home. 

Another thing that was truly awesome was the view from our room of Evermore Park...



The view was great in the day and fascinating when the lights came on at night. 

We also love the patio with a firepit! It even has a grill so you can cook up some steaks or hot dogs and hamburgers.



Make sure and book your next romantic getaway or family vacation stay at this incredible hotel! We know you are going to love it a much as we do.


Thank you so very much Hyatt House Provo/Pleasant Grove for the amazing stay. We can't wait to come again!

Evermore Park Review...

 

*This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf
of Evermore Park. All opinions are 100% mine.*

I am super excited to tell you about some of our amazing experiences at Evermore Park!

Each season brings new adventures with many events at Evermore Park. In the summer there is a Mythological Fair (MYTHOS), a Haunted Festival in the fall (LORE) and a magical Christmas/Winter spectacle in the late fall and winter (AURORA).

Between seasons Evermore Park hosts a variety of events. They include Art & Musical Festivals, Concerts, Themed Parties and so much more!

This fascinating place is a living experience park, where you are part of the evolving story!

First we ate dinner at the incredible Vanders Keep...



My hubby and I were so excited when we walked in to see how elegant it was inside.

Our waiter Ike took amazing care of us! We loved the drinks, appetizers and desserts. Look how delicious...



The Cast Iron Fry Bread, Dragon Wings, Marinated Salmon and Hanger Steak, Berry Cheesecake and Raspberry Creme Brulee were all exceptional! 

Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection. 

It is great that the restaurant is open to both visitors of Evermore and also the general public. Make sure and plan your next date, family party or event at Vanders Keep!

After dinner we were off to explore Evermore Park...


When we were finished walking around the beautiful gardens we next went to a fabulous show.

At the Bird House they have some awesome lizards, a snake and my personal favorite, the amazing owl! We also saw several bunnies hopping around throughout the night that we loved.


I was so happy and surprised when I said "hi" to the parrot and he lifted up one of his feet and waived at me. 
 
There are so many fun things and activities to do that we decided to come back for a second night of fun! They also have shows, scavenger hunts, quests and much more! 


One of our sweet granddaughters had fun looking at all the pictures. She saw this one above of me and said... "Grandma is stuck!". :) There are lots of cool places to get photos there. 

My hubby and I got our fighting gear and were ready for the Knight's Battle Arena. We thought the fire dancer was so awesome! He was a great entertainer and fun to talk to.
 

 
They have lots of different staff dressed up and one even had some cool pet dragons! We enjoyed listening to some fun singing and music during the evening as well.

We had tons of fun doing Archery. One of our sons has a lot of archery equipment and would love to come target practice. We can't wait to bring him back with us. 


Make sure when you visit to go talk to War-Bear about Archery! He is so awesome and talented and can help you have a perfect aim.

Next, we were off to do some Axe Throwing...




My hubby was really good at it and kept getting bullseye shots! He used to do this as a teenager so it brought back lots of fun memories.

We loved the train so much we went on it twice...


It was fun to go on it in the day and also at night to see everything all lit up. It truly has a magical feeling! 

Make sure you stay until the end for the Knighting Ceremony. Everyone that completes the quests throughout the day gets knighted. This was a pretty cool ceremony and a great way to finish the day. 

Finally, you will not want to miss the lighted dragon lantern as you leave the park.


Thank you again so very much Evermore Park for the amazing time! We can't wait to come back again for the next season!

These taste so good! They are light and fluffy and melt in your mouth! We love all of the different flavors.

A fabulous treat that is sugar-free, lactose-free, gluten-free, soy-free, cholesterol-free, and non-GMO.


My angel mom used to always tell me nothing tastes as good as healthy feels. I love that I can snack on these when I am craving junk food and have a good feeling after.

I am excited to take them with us on the go for a healthy treat that won't melt. Another plus is they are great for kids without making a huge mess for us to clean up. :)

Tidbits Fun Bites are a great healthy snack choice!


My family thinks these make perfect gifts as well!

Now check out Calm Strips, they are perfect for helping you stay calm this summer... 


Calm Strips are textured sensory adhesives, designed to help soothe anxiety and fidgeting.


I love that I can take them with me on the go to help bring me peace and comfort as well. 

They are made from a thin but extremely hardy and durable vinyl. Crafted to help with sensory needs by grounding you in a calming scene and giving you a gentle, but textured, surface as a stimulus.


These are just what I needed in my life and perfect for helping me to stay calm. They really do help and I like that they feature a water-resistant, textured finish.

Running my finger along the strips gives me a sense of calm. The relaxing images also help me to imagine I am in a peaceful place and that helps calm me as well.

Calm Strips also has some amazing new products out that I can't wait to try. Make sure and go check them out!


I am planning on using these for gifts as well. They will fit perfectly in cards to mail.

Calm Strips are great and my family loves them!

These have been perfect for our grandkids! They help their drinks stay nice and cold the whole day.

They have a soft touch carrying handle and a protective silicone bumper. It's great that they will fit perfectly in their lunch boxes as well.

My hubby and I really love our SUMMIT stainless steel 24 ounce straw water bottles...




This fabulous water bottle features TriMax Triple Insulation, so our drinks will stay cold up to 36 hours! It's great when we are hiking or doing other outdoor activities that our water will stay cold the whole time.

We can now stay hydrated in style! This fantastic water bottle looks so classy! Another thing we really like is that it even has one-handed tilt free drinking.

I was thrilled that they also fit perfectly in our car cup holders. We love that EcoVessel products even come with a 100 year warranty!
