Apricity Will Sell You on the St. George, Utah Area! St. George, Utah, nestled in the lower southwestern tip of the state, in the high desert, boasts an impressive amount of sunshiney days annually. This translates to approximately 9 months of apricity, offering outdoorsy play in the warmth of the sun for a significant portion of every year. While the area continues to grow, the small town appeal remains, thanks to local residents. Southern Utah is an area where you will get to know your neighbors, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the community, and there is a strong spirit of volunteerism and togetherness. As long time southern Utahns, we have enjoyed golfing on championship courses, boating, fishing, hiking and bicycling or playing corn hole in the afternoon well i...

Utah Named Preferred Host of Winter Olympics in 2034! Could it happen again? That remains to be seen, as all with be revealed in due time. The International Olympic Committee will officially announce this event next year. Utah was home to the Winter Olympics back in 2002 and also known as, Salt Lake 2002, it put our great state on the map, you might say. When it was announced that the Winter olympics would take place in 2002, 45% of Utah's people were against it because of the terroristic acts that took place in Georgia during their olympic event. Understandable!  The economy in Utah was better than most other states in America due to proactive building standards, especially transportation infrastructure. And the economy of today's Utah continues to get better with each year. The public...

Holidays Blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder? It's that time of year when some people might get depressed due to sudden life changes, missing their family members or are affected by *Seasonal Affective Disorder, which starts in the winter months especially as the days get shorter with less daylight.   Those who are experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder may feel these symptoms; mood swings-highs to lows, changes in sleep patterns, lack of energy, lack of interest in everyday activities and withdrawing from people. This often lasts through to spring.   Many people can elevate their spirits by remaining engaged and volunteering time to special causes, visiting the elderly in rehabilitation facilities, going to the local animal shelter and playing with the kitties or walking the dogs. I...

 Help Yourself: A Double Entendre! Growing up, I was surrounded by many amazing females, who taught me a lot about baking and cooking. My grandmother made everything from scratch with a titch, pinch, drop or a hint of something. She often used the palm of her hand to portion out ingredients, no measuring cups necessary. When visiting her house, she'd say, "help yourself." This meant all the homemade baked and cooked foods laid upon her table. As a southern woman, my aunt catered to her husband's every whim for several years of marriage. She baked and cooked daily to feed him and soon, their two children. One day, she and my uncle were sitting down together watching TV. He politely asked her to get up fetch him a glass of water. She said, "You might want to get up and "help yourself." Th...
