Travel Guide: St. George

 my hat + jacket  || hunter’s top + pants + shoes || girls’ nike shirts

Since we’ve moved to St. George, I’ve gotten a ton of requests and DM’s asking about what to do/eat in St. George! Since Joe and I both grew up here, we’re more old school with our recommendations, but we’ve got a lot of newer recommendations from friends + family!

OUR ST. GEORGE TRAVEL GUIDE

hunter’s similar top + jeans + boots || my jacket + jeans + converse

: FOOD

St. George has the yummiest restaurants! Listed all our favorites – new and old!

  • Paula’s – the BEST Mexican food. My grandpa’s best friend from college owned it, so it’s always been a family favorite.
  • The Pasta Factory – it’s always been our go-to spot for big family get togethers. They have the best salad bar, pizza, and pasta. And their garlic bread twists are out of this world!
  • Larsen’s Frost Top Drive-In – this is the cutest family-owned drive-in. It opened in 1965 and is the best diner for families. Yummiest ice cream too!!
  • Bear Paw Cafe – if you’re a breakfast fan, you’ll love Bear Paw! This is my dad’s favorite place to eat because they have 10 different kinds of waffles + french toast alone!
  • First Watch – is another great breakfast/brunch cafe. They have the yummiest juices!
  • The Sugar Cookie – by far the best sugar cookies out there….even better than Swig! Love that it’s a family-owned business too.
  • Mixed Greens – is phenomenal! Their homemade chocolate chip cookies are to die for. They have the yummiest acai + rice bowls. Family owned business in a gas station.
  • Irmita’s – is a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant, but Joe absolutely loves their food!
  • Xetava – is our favorite place to eat. Their food is fresh and delicious. It’s a bit of a drive, but worth it. They’ve got coffee, drinks, fun desserts, and wine if that’s your thing.

: FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES

St. George is FULL of fun things to do. Whether you’re going with your girlfriends, family, or your spouse, there are so many fun options!

  • Tonaquint Park – by far our favorite spot in St. George. There is a huge open area that is great for running around + playing soccer! Such a fun playground for the kids too!
  • Town Square Splash Pad – we go here to cool off! It’s not your average splash pad, it has fountains, sprays, and even a lazy river right down the middle! It’s only a few inches deep, but so fun for the little kids.
  • Fiesta Fun – my kids go there with their friends and absolutely love it! They have laser tag, bowling, an arcade, food, and more!
  • Golfing – any golf course in St. George is beautiful! That’s always what Joe and the guys want to do. Joe’s favorite is the Sand Hollow course.
  • Hiking – our family loves to hike the Dixie rock. When we were kids, they didn’t have parking or anything up there. But there’s parking up there now and fun hikes to do with the family!
  • Laser Mania – my dad always takes the kids to do this! Such a fun laser tag place!
  • Big Shots – recently opened up on St. George! It’s just like Top Golf. It’s such a fun spot for families! My boys absolutely love it.
  • Lakes- we’re total lake people so we love going to Quail lake and Sand Hollow! Sand Hollow has the cliff jumping that everyone loves.  We love hiring Tanner with Tanner Wake Boat Rentals to take us out on the boat every summer! He’s the best! I also grew up going to Gunlock reservoir which is really fun too!
  • Children’s Museum – this is right next to the town square splash pad. It has a bunch of different “real life” interactive areas to play like a grocery store, airplane, post office, etc. My kids love it!
  • Red Mountain Spa – is incredible! It’s tradition for my dad to treat us girls to a spa day around Christmas time. It’s such a gorgeous place to relax + catch up with my favorite girls!

I hope this helps! When it comes to hotels or places to stay, I’m not much help. We’ve always just stayed with family, but I’ve heard that Desert Color has some incredible Airbnb’s!

5 Spring Cleaning Tips

similar top + similar jeans + bracelets + hat || pillow + throw blanket + similar chair

St. George is still cold and I’m not okay with it! It’s supposed to be warming up next week and I couldn’t be more excited! With the warmer weather coming, my mind instantly goes to spring cleaning + organizing. It’s the best feeling to have a clean + organized home with the new season. With all the kids home for summer soon, it helps to have a clean home that is easy to maintain! So today on the blog I’m talking all about spring cleaning and sharing 5 tips to help find success in your spring cleaning!

5 SPRING CLEANING TIPS

closet cleaning + organization

: START SMALL

This tip is easier said than done but START LITTLE. Don’t think that you need to do your whole house in one day. Focus on one room a day and start by getting rid of the things you don’t need. Just totally declutter and I promise you that the rest of the cleaning will go smoother. Don’t overwhelm yourself, there is no time limit for when it needs to be done. Start when + where it’s comfortable for you and your schedule.

Kailee Wright Fridge

fridge cleaning + organization

: SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY

We’ve totally downsized…our house we’re in now is smaller than we’re used to. It’s only 4 bedrooms, and all the kids share ONE bathroom. So, we’ve had to get rid of so much stuff and honestly, my load feels much lighter. I truly believe in “the less stuff you have; the more time you have to do the things you love.” I’ve heard this philosophy many times, so I know I’m not crazy. It truly is easier to spend time with my family when I don’t have to worry about spending hours of cleaning or picking up 100 toys, etc. My kids have played with their toys here SO much more than where we lived before because they have LESS toys. My kids have been completely content with having less toys. It’s been so nice.

So that would be my biggest tip: GET RID OF WHAT YOU DON’T NEED/USE. It will be a game changer for you and your family. I’ve learned that you really don’t need all the things you think you do. You guys know I’m all about simplifying, so just trust me on this one.

: OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

One rule I’ve really been sticking to the past few months is whenever I buy something new, I get rid of something. If I buy 3 swimsuits, I get rid of 3 swimsuits…. that way my closet never gets overcrowded. It helps me evaluate what I’m really willing to get rid of, and how much I should really buy. Same thing goes for your kids’ items. If you get them a new toy, find a toy you can donate or get rid of.

get your kids involved

: INCLUDE YOUR KIDS

Sometimes the thought of tackling spring cleaning on your own is overwhelming! That’s why I’m a big fan of including your kids with the household cleaning. And on top of that, it’s a great opportunity to teach your kids how to properly clean. When cleaning with kids, be sure that you don’t overwhelm them. I like to write down everything that needs to be done that day and have the kids choose what they want to do! This helps them feel responsible with their jobs instead of just being told what to do.

Be sure to make your instructions clear and simple. Help them in the beginning with any questions they might have so they can be confident they’re doing it correctly. Magic Erasers and Clorox wipes are my best friends when teaching my kids to clean.

bathroom organization

: GET ORGANIZED

You guys know that I’m so passionate about organizing + keeping things simple! Keeping my home organized helps me be the person + mom I want to be. My 30 Days to an Organized Home course will walk you through how to organize every room, storage space, and every closet! I know organizing can sound daunting, but once you declutter everything you don’t need/use, organizing is so much easier. And be sure to always start small.

Organizing really is my therapy. Having an organized home helps me to have a clear mind. With busy season upon us, organizing is the best way to tackle spring cleaning and create the home YOU want!

. . .

Good luck with spring cleaning this year! We got this!

March Amazon Buys

It’s that time again where I share last month’s Amazon orders! Last month I ordered more swimsuits for Mexico, my favorite self tanning lotion, a family favorite game, and more! Keep scrolling to see details!

MARCH AMAZON BUYS

cheetah leotard + hat clip + orange swimsuit + tanning lotion + tan swimsuit + brown swimsuit + telestrations game + micro stitch tool + crochet cover up + gel nail kit + purple swimsuit + cuticule tools

: CHEETAH LEOTARD

Harper picked out this cheetah leotard for gymnastics! It’s definitely not my favorite haha, but it was fun to have her pick it out. If you have girls who love sparkly things, this leotard would be so fun for them! Comes in other fun patterns too and is only $9.99!

: HAT CLIP

I ordered this hat clip/magnet for our Mexico trip coming up! You can attach it to your bag or suitcase and then clip your hats onto it. It holds both of my straw hats! I don’t like packing my hats in my suitcase so I always just carry them onto my flights, so this hat magnet will be a game changer!

hat + swimsuit + bracelets [code KAILEEWRIGHT15]

: SWIMSUITS + COVER UP

We’re going to Mexico in May so I’ve been ordering a ton of swimsuits to try out! I ordered a size small in the orange ruffle swimsuit, the tan swimsuit, and the purple swimsuit. Those ones are all true to size and have full bum coverage! I ordered this brown swimsuit in a size small, but it was too tight and too cheeky for me, so I ordered the medium. I would definitely size up on that one! I ordered that same swimsuit in this pink color too. Absolutely obsessed with this cover up too, I ordered the small. It’s perfect for going from the pool to dinner!

: SELF TANNING LOTION

This lotion is a gradual tanning lotion and I absolutely love it! It gives such a natural gorgeous look. And better yet, it doesn’t have a smell or stain your sheets!! Hands down amazing. This is my fourth bottle I’ve ordered… I love it that much.

: TELESTRATIONS GAME

This Telestrations game is phenomenal!!! It is THE funniest game. We played it at our friend’s cabin when we went to Brian Head and everyone was dying of laughter! Harper could play it, so it’s good for all ages – even adults! Best $40 we’ve spent in my opinion!!

hat + swimsuit + bracelets [code KAILEEWRIGHT15]

: MICRO STITCH TOOL

This micro stitch tool is for blouses that are too low, or anything that you need to add one stitch in. It’s been so nice to have! My friend Merrick recommended this and I absolutely love it! Easy to use too.

: GEL NAIL POLISH SET

My friend Betsy recommended this gel nail polish set that comes with 36 colors!!!! For only $34.99! It has been so fun for me and my girls. We do nails every Sunday night and it’s way cheaper than taking them to go get their nails done. They love every color that comes in the kit too. We also ordered these cuticle cleaners, you just run them over your cuticles and it cleans them up!

Sandals for Spring

sandals

black studded sandals + flip flops + birkenstocks + studded sandals + pearl sandals + studded sandals + similar tan slides +

St. George has been chilly lately, but I can’t help but think of spring and spring fashion! The blue skies and sunshine bring me so much joy, so I’m hoping it warms up soon! I absolutely love shopping for spring because it means we finally get to start unbundling and thinking all things swim, shorts, and sandals!! Spring sandals are one of my favorites to shop for, so today I’m rounding up a bunch of my favorites to share with you!

SANDALS I’M LOVING

obsessed with these braided sandals | link to shirt + jeans

: PEARL SANDALS

Just like the studded sandals, these pearl sandals are a great sandal for vacation. They transition perfectly from poolside to lunch and go with everything!

: SLIDES 

When it comes to spring and summer sandals, slides are a must have! They are quick and easy to throw on and go with just about everything. These tan slides are the perfect everyday spring shoe. I love how versatile they are, and you can’t beat the price at under $20!

: STUDDED SANDALS

I LOVE a good sandal that is super versatile, and these check all the boxes. First, it is classic black so it goes with just about everything. The plastic material makes it great for the beach or pool because its waterproof. And that hint of glam makes it easy to dress up for dinner too. These are my go to for travel because you can pack one shoe and check off all the boxes!

Another great studded sandal that is a great neutral with a pop are these Steve Madden studded sandals! They are always on repeat for me all summer!

: TKEES 

If you haven’t tried Tkees, you have got to add them to this spring/summer’s line up! They are such a great quality sandal! These ones are mine and Hunter’s go-to flip flop. You can stick with a classic and get their flip flops in a variety of nudes to match any skin tone, or fun colors and metallics. Use my link to get 10% off your purchase.

: BIRKENSTOCKS

Last but not least, you can’t forget the classic black birkenstock. These are a must have in any closet. They are timeless, comfortable, and so versatile.

Teen Takeover: Journaling the Move

my similar top + similar jeans || kailee’s similar top + jeans + shoes

hey guys, it’s hunter just going to update you on the move and how I’m feeling about it all! you guys have been so sweet to check in on me and ask my mom how i’m doing. i’ve had friends here who have helped me feel comfortable and it’s overall been a positive thing for me, but i still have hard days. so today on the blog i’m wanting to just share all my thoughts and give you an update with how i’ve navigated my new school, friends, sports teams, etc.

ADJUSTING TO ST. GEORGE

getting asked to junior prom

: MY THOUGHTS

I’m not going to lie, it’s been hard. but it has gotten easier with time and the kind of situations i’ve had to put myself in. situations that have required me to be myself and grow into a better person. i’ve had time to reflect on myself and honestly improve myself a lot more down here than when I was living up north. i’ve been able to learn and realize things that I wouldn’t have learned up north.

i still have hard nights and those suck really bad. i bottle up all my feelings and i eventually just have to let it all out. i usually go somewhere private to cry so my siblings don’t see. i want to be strong for them. but at the same time, i’ve learned that it’s okay to not always be strong. so that’s something i’m still working on.

my pants + shoes

: FRIENDS + DATING

i’ve met some friends which has been fun. i’m not close close with any of them yet, but i have a big friend group so that has totally helped me adjust here and feel like a normal teenager. i really miss my girlfriends up north so much. i was so close with them all. so that’s been one of the hardest parts, but i still talk and text with them.

i have been going on a lot of dates and dances, so that has been so much fun. there are more dances in st. george than there was up north so that has been so fun for me. i’ve been meeting new people every single day and that’s what i thrive off of! i’ve really enjoyed the social scene down here in st. george. i’ve met this one boy and he honestly makes me so happy. i love being around him because he treats me so well. my life totally feels like a movie, being the new girl and everything!

: SCHOOL + SOCCER

i feel like school down here is much easier. i got a 4.0 this quarter so i’m really proud of myself! i’ve also sparked some new interests since moving down here. i’m thinking of trying track so we’ll see what happens. i really think this move has made me realize who i want to be and what i deserve as a person.

soccer is going really well. it’s a little different than up north because i feel like i play at a faster pace than some of the other girls but that’s okay. it’s been so fun doing what i love and becoming friends with my teammates.

my jeans + rugwoven basket

: MY RELATIONSHIP W/ HUDSON

hudson and i have gotten so close since moving to st. george! we always do sibling nights where we just talk, get ice cream, or go to target. i make him dance with me because i’m in a social dance class, i’m sure you’ve seen my mom show that on her stories. but it’s been so fun spending more time with hudson, he is such a sweet brother and i’m lucky to have him.

. . .

thanks for reading! no doubt that the move has been hard for me, but it’s getting easier and i’m so happy to be in st. george!

Dog Must Haves

our sweet marley

Today on the blog I’m sharing our dog essentials! People always ask me what I buy for Minnie and Marley, so I thought I’d share my pet favorite items in a blog post for all you pet owners! Another question we get asked a lot is what breed Marley and Minnie are. They are both toy poodles! We got Minnie last November. It’s Hayden’s dog, she worked hard to save money and was able to pay for half of the cost! She takes such great care of her and it’s been fun for her and our family! We’ve had Marley for years and she’s always been our baby!!

DOG MUST HAVES

our sweet minnie

: AMAZON DOG FAVORITES

We get a majority of our dog items from Amazon, which makes everything easier…

We’ve been using this dog food for years and it works so well for both dogs. It’s for smaller dogs, but I the same brand has food for all sizes of dogs! We get the chicken and rice meal and the dogs love it. The brand is Hill’s Science diet and it’s been our staple for years!

Our favorite dog shampoo is this hypoallergenic waterless dog shampoo! It works so well for both dogs, we like to get the gentle coconut scent because it smells so yummy!

I got Minnie this harness because it was small enough for her! It’s adjustable and works so well since she’s so little. I also got her these bells to put on her collar so we can hear her and not step on her!

When we were potty training Minnie, we got her this artificial grass so she can practice going potty on the grass. It worked really well! We used this potty training spray that worked really well too. You spray it where you want them to go potty!

Last thing we love from Amazon is this mat that we put their food and water on. It just keeps the bowls in place and looks very simple + clean

: KINDTALE PRODUCTS

We have the KindTale crate and absolutely LOVE it! The crate is collapsible, so it doesn’t take up much space in the car when we are traveling. It’s so modern looking and just overall darling. We have the white color and love it! We also use KindTail’s travel bowls, which we love because they have lids and a handle to carry them. We have the gray and pink color and they are a must have!

: PUPWELL KIT

I got Hayden this Pupwell kit for Christmas and she loves it! It is the most well-put together grooming kit. The ultimate grooming kit is their best seller! It has everything you need to groom your pup from home. It comes in the cutest bag, with shears, combs, a slicker brush, nail clippers, ear hair forceps, etc. You can see more about it here. Every dog owner needs this kit! It includes so much, we use ours all the time. If you use my link to purchase, you will get 10% off! They also offer grooming courses, tips, and grooming printables!

: DOG BED

Our favorite dog bed is from the brand Monika Hibbs and we love it! It is seriously the best quality and is a neutral striped pattern. We have the medium size for Marley and we’ve loved it! It is more of a splurge, but it is so easy to clean and is so comfortable for your dog!

Life Update

hayden’s dress || harper’s dress || houston’s shirt || hudson’s shirt

I like to share life update a few times a month – especially because life has been so hectic and life changing these past few months! I wanted to give you all an update about spring break, house plans, Joe’s job, St. George, etc! Kenzie and Bode are in St. George visiting us this week so we’re soaking up all the time with them!

LIFE UPDATE

love having kenz + bode in town

: UPDATE WITH JOE

Joe has 5 weeks left of his job up North until he can fully move down to St. George! We’re finally on a countdown. It will be a total of 3 months that we’ve lived separately. The kids have been good about it, but Joe and I are so over it!

He officially starts his new job in St. George on May 1st. He is excited, it will be a really big change and a new learning curve for him. But he’s just so ready to move down here. He’s been living in a basement apartment in our old neighborhood, so he’s not in our rental anymore.

We celebrated our 18th anniversary with a quick weekend in Las Vegas! Our favorite part was eating at Broken Yolk… they’re cinnamon french toast was unreal!!

: SPRING BREAK

For spring break, we stayed home half of the week and went to Brian Head Ski resort for the rest of it! We went with some old friends from high school/middle school. Joe met us there too so we were all excited about that! Our friends also have 5 kids around the same age as ours, so everyone has a friend, which is really nice. We had such a fun time and were so glad to have Joe there with us!

: THE KIDS

The kids are doing great! We are so proud of their attitudes towards St. George and how well they’ve handled the move. They are thriving in St. George and I’m just overwhelmed with gratitude. Our friends have been so good at looking out for us and helping our kids feel welcome and taken care of. It’s been so humbling. Hudson says he’s fine to never go back up North again, haha!

Hunter has a rough day 2 times a month where it just hits her. She always says her life feels like a movie! She’s loving it and it has been so sweet how things have worked out for her. Getting asked to school dances, sports, friends, etc. Her attitude during the whole things has been so positive and inspiring. She just asked a friend to El Cheapo, it’s a casual dance so she’s excited about that! They have a dance every month here unlike up North, so she’s been loving that.

lots of baseball lately

: HOW I’M FEELING

I’ve been crying so much lately… and not because I’m sad. It’s because I’ve never felt more grateful to finally be where we’re at in life. I’ve had a few DM’s that have said I just seem so happy lately and it’s so true, St. George really has been such a positive thing for me and our family. We’ve been away for home for 16 years, so we’ve have had our struggles without family nearby. And now that we’ve moved back home, I’m realizing all the little things we missed out on. It’s been so fun living by family these past few months. My parents take Hudson to school and pick him up every day, so that’s been such a fun bonding moment for them. My mom and I go to lunch all the time and it’s just fills my heart with gratitude! I just cry over how grateful I am. We are loving the warmer weather here. And everything is so close! So that’s been nice when running errands. We are all just so genuinely happy here!

: HOUSE PLANS

Our house plans are DONE! They are in engineering right now, so we’re hoping to break ground in the next few months. We’re currently working on interior design which is my favorite part! Our master section is done, and we just got designs for the kitchen and pantry. We’re super excited with how it’s all turning out!

Formal Dresses: Hunter’s Picks

Short Formal Dress

I always get a ton of questions about where we shop for Hunter’s dresses for dances. Our favorite stores are Revolve, Dillard’s, Windsor Stores, and more! So today on the blog I’m sharing where we find her formal dresses and also sharing a ton of short and long dress options that Hunter and I LOVE!

FORMAL DRESS ROUND-UP

Long Formal Dress

: WHERE WE LOOK FOR FORMAL DRESSES

Anthropologie– Their formal dresses are pricey, but their styles are unbelievably stunning. Hunter and I love finding unique dresses and Anthro has just that.

Dillard’s– You can find some beautiful formal dresses at Dillard’s. Hunter and I love Dillard’s because they carry very elegant/classy dresses. Also has a ton of modest options!

Revolve– We’ve shopped at Revolve for years and love everything from there! Their formal dresses are so fun and different!

ASOS– Definitely use a filter when you’re searching because they have a TON of options! Such a great price point too!

Windsor Stores– This one has so many good options and is most affordable. We’ve noticed that a lot of people purchase their dresses from Windsor, so that’s why Hunter gravitates to stores like Anthro that has more unique options!

For Love & Lemons– This one has a bunch of different dresses! Some are a little much, but there is definitely some cute, unique finds!

: CREAM WIDE LEG JEANS

I ordered these cream wide leg jeans from Zara and love them! I ordered size 4, but they are a little bit tight. I tried size 6 and they were just too baggy on my butt. I tried the black pair of these same jeans and they seem to run smaller!

: FLARE JEANS

I am dying over these flare jeans!!!! They are perfection!! They fit true to size too! I ordered size 25 and love how they fit. They have a lot of stretch too, which is nice. They are long on me, so I might end up cutting them a little shorter.
