Happy Friday friends!
In This Post
It’s an especially great one because my vacation plans are looming near and I’m on my way to enjoy some family time and R&R. I’ll be unplugging as much as I can, but you can probably count on more than a few Snapchats (follow me @FoodieCrush) and Instagram posts along the way. Follow me, will you?
This week we came down from our firework high and got back to business. Do you feel the same way I do? That getting ready for vacation is twice as stressful as normal times because you have to get ahead to chill out? What’s up with that?
We did get away from playing with friends (her) and my computer and kitchen (me) and created some street art in Sugarhouse, a cute little hub of restaurants, shopping and family fun in SLC. The theme was local Utah sayings, and since Utahn’s don’t typically swear, TYPICALLY, we painted up one of the oldest phrases in Utah prose. Totally PC for the tween. If you’re a local, head to Sugarmont Plaza on Monday nights where “this is the place” for Utah Food Trucks and Friday evenings for the Sugarhouse farmers market.
Time for me to get packing, so let’s get into this week’s Friday Faves! Happy weekend everyone.

How to take control of your Facebook feed: Within the News Feed Preferences settings, you can tap on profiles of friends and brands to prioritize their posts first. Anything they’ve shared since you last visited Facebook will then appear at the top, and a little star next to it will show that it’s there because you said so. For now, these controls will only be available within the iOS app.
