OVO CIRQUE DU SOLEIL SALT LAKE CITY REVIEW
I was able to attend opening night of OVO at the Maverick Center and it was amazing! I have never been to a Cirque Du Soleil show before so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I loved the costumes, music and most importantly the awesome performances. I opted not to bring my little ones, and I’m glad because I don’t think they would have been as entertained as we were because they don’t understand all the talent and skill the performances require. I thought the whole show was very engaging. My husband and I agreed that we loved everything, except for the bugs who acted as clowns to give the other performers time to set up. Sometimes they were funny, but other times you just really wanted the next act to begin.
Here are some of my favorite acts:
OVO CIRQUE DU SOLEIL COMING TO SALT LAKE CITY
I am so excited that Cirque Du Soleil’s OVO Show is coming to the Maverick Center this month! I was able to attend a blogger event where we learned more about the show and we even got to hold different bugs! Kim’s Cold Blooded Creatures taught us so much about all of her different bugs. We started off by making these colorful bug masks. My kids loved all the fun glitter and jewels and feathers. Then Kim had some time to teach us about each of the bugs she brought. I was surprised when my son wasn’t scared to hold all of them. I also decided to hold the tarantula, even though I am scared of spiders!
OVO is an “immersive touring show, teeming with life. Insects work, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy in motion. Their home is filled with biodiversity, beauty, action and moments of quiet emotion. The awestruck insects are intensely curious when a mysterious egg appears, representing the enigma and cycles of their lives.” (Excerpt from the Cirque Du Soleil website.)

I was able to attend a blogger event in Salt Lake City this past week and try Rumbi Island Grill’s newest menu item, sweet pork! There are three new menu items featuring the sweet pork-a rice bowl, tacos and a salad. I was really excited to try the sweet pork because I already love so many other things at Rumbi.

MONSTER JAM® REVIEW
My family had the opportunity to attend Monster Jam on opening night. I was excited to take my two children, because the last time I had attended was with my husband before they were born. It was a really fun family night watching all the trucks compete.
Some tips if you are attending:
- Bring some ear plugs for yourself and/or over the ear protection for younger children. It gets really loud in the arena with the huge monster trucks driving around.
- You will want to wear some layers. The arena is actually pretty cold. Even though I took off my coat at first it got cold fast when they opened some of the entrances to the outside for the trucks and crew
- At some points during the show there was some smoke from the trucks exhaust that irritated our eyes a little bit.
My two children were pretty excited at first, but they did lose some interest towards the end. I would recommend the show for children ages 5+ but my younger one (2 years) did like it, she just can’t sit for the whole show and had to walk around for a little bit. All in all it is a fun family night and exciting to see the different trucks and watch the drivers’ skills at maneuvering them.
This was our family’s favorite truck of the night. Look at all those cool spikes!

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING AT DESERET INDUSTRIES

December is one of my favorite months but also one of the most stressful! There’s all sorts of parties to attend, gifts to shop for and gifts to wrap! I am always on the look out for good deals to get great gifts. I visited my local Deseret Industries this past week to see what deals I could find.

If you missed my last post about Disney on Ice, read about it HERE.
Mark your calendars! On Thursday November 10th, Disney on Ice is partnering with The Utah Food Bank to host the ‘Turkey Tuesday’ Turkey Drive. Everyone will have the opportunity to donate one frozen turkey in exchange for two tickets to the show. Those turkeys will then be served this Thanksgiving to those in need by the food bank. Please note – turkeys must be frozen for the Utah Food Bank to accept them.
This is such a wonderful opportunity to support the food bank and those less fortunate and have a nice little thank you in return. Please think about donating for a great cause this Tuesday, November 8th!

DESERET INDUSTRIES-THE BEST PLACE TO FIND A GOOD DEAL ON A HALLOWEEN COSTUME
This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.
As you may already know, I love a good deal. Usually every Saturday morning I am out scouting yard sales. But yard sales only happen on the weekends and during good weather. My other favorite place to get a good deal is at Deseret Industries. Haven’t ever heard of Deseret Industries? Deseret Industries is a thrift and donation store located in many states along the West coast. But not only do they have some of the best deals and give new life to your old goods, they also offer their associates important on-the-job experience and training. If you have items laying around, consider taking them to the Deseret Industries! So many items in my house have come from Deseret Industries and I don’t think you would ever know it! I have found great quality items, from home decor, furniture, books, and clothes.
At this time of the year Deseret Industries is the perfect place to look for an inexpensive Halloween costume. Most costumes are priced at $10 or less! Rather then paying so much more at other Halloween stores, you can purchase affordable costumes for your entire family. Plus, they restock their sales floor every day with thousands of new items, so you never know what you will find! I stopped by my local Deseret Industries this last week to scout out some costumes for my family.
First, I got this super cute little witch skirt and hat for only $2.50 total!
