the local spotlight.

i live in utah. no news there. i realize the majority of you guys don’t live in utah.

however, i love finding fellow utah blogs because it’s so fun to read about places—namely restaurants and grocery stores–that i can actually go to without hopping on a plane.  there is something exciting about reading a blog written by someone that lives in your same area.. wouldn’t you agree?

so, i have been toying around with the idea of featuring local utah bloggers for a long time, and today is the day that the local spotlight feature begins! i will periodically feature local utah bloggers and include a snippet about them.  if you don’t live in utah, don’t click away just yet. this is something everyone can benefit from! after all, they may be utah bloggers, but you don’t have to be a utah reader to enjoy their blog. check them out.. you just might find a new blog you love.
