About

I grew up in the Boise area and promptly moved away after high school.  I was ready for a change and thought the valley was “boring.”  In the nearly 10 years I was away, the city exploded and “grew up.” So did I.

Now, I live in Hidden Springs, Idaho - a planned community NW of the city limits - with my husband and children.  I keep an office in my home and work in the public relations industry. I make every attempt possible to be “super mom” although I don’t always succeed.

I decided to start this blog because I finally decided it was time for me to enter this century.  I chose the topic of what it’s like to live in Boise and what I like about it, because it’s what I know.  I also wanted to do something nobody else was, and couldn’t find any blog committed to that specific topic. 

So, here I am.  I’m blogging about the area, sharing with you my thoughts, experiences and ideas.  This is my personal blog.  I don’t accept money for entries, and I only blog about things that I think are interesting or I’ve experienced first hand. 

Because I work in the public relations industry, I feel it necessary to tell you that I’m doing my best NOT to blog about any of my clients, but will let you know when there’s a personal connection in the effort of complete transparency.  And, in the event that were to ever happen, rest assured there would not be compensation of any kind for the entry.  If I’ve ever blogged about a company that later becomes a client, I’ll let you know that too with an editoral note on that particular entry. 

I hope to foster a lively discussion, however I’ll warn you that if you want to comment just to belly-ache, save it for another blog.  This should be a place to be inspired, get the scoop and discover all things that make the Boise area - and Idaho - such an incredible place to live. 

Please feel free to share your experiences, ideas and great local finds!  Your participation is what will make this blog extra valuable to everyone who visits!

Cheerio!

Sincerely,

The Goodlife Gal
