Located in a beautiful old house on Main Street in Lehi, Flowers on Main blew us away with their passion and creativity.

You are greeted with the fragrant smell of flowers bought from South America and local sellers and a warm feeling when you walk in the doors. The shop is decorated according to the seasons and you can’t help but be inspired. Then you start learning about how Flowers on Main is more than just a quaint little flower shop–they were even on an episode of Sister Wives doing the flowers for a wedding. They didn’t know it was a “Sister Wives wedding” and at their flower consultation Holly, one of the owners, even asked, “Are you guys sisters or friends or something?” The sister wives giggled. The clip was also shown on Oprah.

Then you hear how the owners James and Kris (husband and wife) with cousin Holly, always had a passion for flowers and opened the shop together after 40 combined years in the floral business. Shortly after opening the shop, Kris lost her vision to some cancer related issues and now jokes about being the “delivery driver.” Her sunny personality seems the perfect fit for a flower shop owner, even if she can’t see the flowers any more. She had us in stitches all evening.

You are further impressed when you learn about the Flower of the Month Club where a simple specific flower arrangement is delivered every month with a little education on that flower. What a fabulous birthday or Christmas present! September’s flower was the deep purple aster above.

Thanks to our fabulous friend Rachael over at TodaysMama.com and the good people at Kraft Lunchables, the Sassies were able to take their families on a family field trip to Boondocks Fun Center in Draper. Unfortunately, life happens (often) and by the time the scheduled date rolled around, only Kim, Lindsey, Kristina and I were able to do the field tripping. But we still had a blast and so did our kids from age 2 to 14.

So what did the Sassies think of Boondocks Fun Center in Draper, Utah? Read on to find out!
.

.
QUESTION

What was your first impression?

.

THE SCOOP

Emily: I actually had my first impression a couple years ago when Nathan and I went to Boondocks for a date. We had so much fun racing each other on the go karts and trying out out par each other in mini golf. This time I did learn it can be a little tricky with groups if you don’t call ahead and fill out the appropriate paperwork so things are ready when you arrive, but Boondocks did their best to accommodate us and were fabulous even with my lack of planning.
Kim: Bright lights, music, beeps, the kind of place one could get lost in a world of fun.
Kristina: The environment is really fun and energetic. There are many different activities, a place to eat, and it was all rather easy to navigate.
Lindsey: Honestly, my first impression was how very loud it was. Then I looked around at all these families laughing and carrying on and I knew why. My family fit right it.
.

.

QUESTION

What did you like the most?

.

Emily: The group-rate packages. They were seriously a great deal, and most require only a minimum of 10 people. Our family is more than half that number! Our faves were also the amount of fun activities outside the arcade: laser tag, mini golf, go karts, a slick track, bumper boats, and this cool mini theater that made it feel like you were riding a real roller coaster!
Kim: LOVED the 4D theater. I liked that they had a few different lines and each line was a different coaster experience. My kids wanted to keep going and going on it, and I obliged. However, I think in my old age I am getting motion sick. We also loved winning tickets; I thought it was especially nice when one of the workers stopped to give us tips and tricks on how to win MORE. My kids loved picking out a little prize at the end, and we even had enough for the baby to get a prize too. Dad and I? We got stuck with the 1 ticket erasers. :) Also, the pizza was pretty darn delicious, something that surprised me.
Kristina: I really loved all the different available activities. There was laser tag, miniature golf, batting cages, bumper boats, arcade games, etc. And the pricing was very reasonable. The food was also excellent. I was rather surprised by the quality of the food.
Lindsey: I love that they have the classic Mrs. PacMan arcade game. I love a throw back game. But for the whole family, I am going to have to say laser tag. My husband and I took our toddlers in to play and had a blast with them. Turns out using a 3-year-old as a human shield to block your front censor really boosts your score! My boys had a blast in what they thought was a real-life Star Wars extravaganza.
.

QUESTION

What didn’t you like?

.

THE SCOOP

Emily: The super long wait for the go karts and even longer wait for the slick track. But then again, once you’re in the car you like how long the ride goes! Oh, and the ever painful cashing in of tickets for treasures. Why does that always take my kids so long? I did think the mini golf at night was way too dark. It was really hard to see the balls and the course. They definitely need a lot more light.
Kim: Hmmm, I can’t really think of anything I didn’t like. I might have wished I left the baby with a sitter so that I could have had more fun with my older kids. She is 2, and while she enjoyed some of the things, many were just too old for her.
Kristina: My husband and I played a game of miniature golf, where, of course, I dominated and kicked his butt. However, about 5-6 holes were unlit and all the lights were out. Some were so dark; we literally could not see the ball on the course. This also prevented me from cheating.
Lindsey: The food was better than I thought it would be, but it still wasn’t really great. I also had a hard time breathing (it was stifling!) in the room where you prep for laser tag. (That presentation of the rules, etc. is kind of long for antsy kiddos.)
.

.

QUESTION

Would you refer Boondocks Fun Center to a friend?

.

THE SCOOP

Emily: Definitely! I think it would be a great place for a birthday party, family night or group date night!
Kim: I certainly would. We have been to similar places in California, so it was refreshing to have such a fun place close to home where we could literally spend hours and have unlimited amounts of fun.
Kristina: Definitely. We come here often and have brought family members with young children. There is something for every age to do.
Lindsey: Yes! We had a great time even though we had littler kids than most. Aside from Mrs. PacMan and laser tag, the mini golf course is fantastic (a fire-breathing dragon at the end!), the go karts are always a highlight and their indoor playground is the best I have seen. In fact, my kids wanted to spend most of their time on the playground pretending to be Indiana Jones.
.

.

QUESTION

If you could only send out one tweet about the business, what would you say?

.

THE SCOOP

Emily: @BoondockFunCntr is THE best place for family night or date night! Go karts, mini golf & laser tag, oh my!
Kim: @BoondockFunCnter for a whole family night worth of food, fun, and prizes. My kind of place.
Kristina: {not a tweeter}
Lindsey: For a fun, no-planning family night, head to @BoondockFunCnter where it’s ok to use your children as human shields in laser tag.

Disclaimer: Today’s Mama provided the Sassies with VISA gift cards thanks to Kraft Lunchables to use toward a local family field trip. We chose Boondocks—and what a great choice it was! Even though all that fabulous family fun was comped, the opinions are all ours and 100% honest.

I will admit, pole fitness classes have a certain stigma attached to them, but after trying out a beginner pole fitness class at PEARL by Adult Dance and Fitness in Midvale, I say throw all stigmas out the window. (And you could easily do just that with the upper body strength those classes require!)

Of course some of the apparel might lead you to believe there’s quite a bit of sexy involved, but I’m okay with that—I think a little (tasteful) sexy makes for a big boost in self-confidence!

I’m a huge fan of a good, sweat-inducing workout and PEARL’s class did not disappoint. How can you not break a sweat when you try a new spin over and over again and still can’t get it right? (I apologize if the thumbnail image on the video is the original, totally unattractive one. I did change it but it takes a while for YouTube to update. Just hurry and click “play”!)

…
I have a very serious lack of coordination, believe you me.

Aly was a super fabulous instructor and extremely patient. I loved the guided stretching at the beginning and end and the one-on-one instruction whenever we needed it (and I needed it A LOT).

When asked why women were interested in pole fitness classes, Aly told us there were two main reasons: one, they wanted to shake up their fitness routine, get in better shape and/or lose weight; and two, it was a fabulous confidence booster. After one hour with Aly, I could see how both of those would be true. I was SO sore the next day, bruises and all (of course, I wore them with pride) and teaching your body to move in a different way was rather liberating. (Not a lot of sexy in spin class…)

Check out a tandem try at one of our favorite spins from the evening:

…
Yeah, I won’t be quitting my day job any time soon. Though I thoroughly enjoyed the pole fitness workout, even better was watching some of the gals working out on the aerial silks. I would have loved to have seen this gal in action!

…
Here’s a snapshot of Aly and Shae, the owners of PEARL, on the aerial hoop. I’m pretty sure they’ve practiced this a few times:

And I couldn’t resist sharing this photo of Aly, our patient (and beautiful) instructor. Holy crap, that girl has some serious core strength!

…
I’ve always wanted to strengthen my core and improve my flexibility, and while our local rec center’s yoga and pilates classes are helping, I’d kinda like to throw in a few of these aerial fitness classes, bruises and all. By the end of class, I did discover I can pull off a “bow and arrow” headstand, so I’m not totally inept! (I’m sure it looks a lot more fluid when Aly does it, but it was my first, you know.)

…
PEARL also does private parties—birthday parties, bachelorette parties, bridal showers and girls’ nights out. I think an aerial silks party (a la Cirque du Soleil) would be so much fun for a girls’ night out! Bring in your own food and drink and take to the sky on those aerial silks!

Now it’s time for you to get your aerial (or pole) fitness on!

PEARL is giving away a one-week pass to their studio (classes included)
to one lucky SassyScoops reader!

Honestly, you must give it a try. The intro class is free to first-time students, so you could bring a girlfriend along and have her try it too! (For more on pricing, click here. I will tell you now, it’s not as budget-friendly as your local Gold’s or 24 hours, but does your local gym have sky-high silks, an aerial hoop or trapeze dangling from the ceiling? I thought not!)

The Sassies and their kids had a wonderful time reviewing the Living Planet Aquarium last August, so when the Aquarium asked if we would write a post about their newest exhibit with the super cool name of ANIMAL SUPERHEROES!, how could we say no?

From venom power to the power to shock, you′re guaranteed to see some animals that just seem out-of-this-world!

The new exhibit is free with the purchase of aquarium admission. Of course, you could easily earn yourself $1 off admission if you arrive dressed as your favorite superhero! (Discount valid 4/1/11 only.)

When the Sassies invited my handsome husband (my words, not theirs) and me to go see Salt Lake Acting Company’s The Persian Quarter on Valentine’s weekend, we said yes without hesitation.  (Well, there was a little hesitation while we made sure we had a babysitter.)

We love plays and don’t get out enough to see all the many plays that are going on in Salt Lake City.  And we’ve never seen a play at the Salt Lake Acting Company so we were excited to go test it out!

First of all, I loved the little theater at 168 West 500 North.  It looked like it used to be a church building or something similar.  Whatever it used to be, I just loved the charm.  Modern is always nice, but old, quaint and extra touches of character in a building always feels more intimate.  One more bonus:  the seating had ample leg room, something the giant in me always appreciates.  I didn’t even have to stand to let people walk by!

And then the play (The Persian Quarter): WOW!  We really loved it.  We had no idea what it was going to be about ahead of time, so we read through the synopsis of it in the Playbill (is that even the right word?) and got a good understanding of the Iranian culture and the 1980 American hostage situation the play portrayed.

I was a little worried I would be bored because while reading through the Playbill (again, am I using that word right?), I noticed there were only four actors in the whole play.  Hey, I’m a 21st century girl!  I need entertainment in order to stay focused!  But the actors were amazing and so professional.  The play had no action and very little in the way of props—it was mostly dialogue, but the dialogue was captivating, interesting and so very well delivered.

We will definitely keep The Salt Lake Acting Company on our list the next time we find the time and money to go see a play!

Now YOU can go see a play The Salt Lake Acting Company; here are the details on their next show:

April 13 through May 8, 2011

“SLAC presents Circle Mirror Transformation by Annie Baker. A new play that took the New York theatre world by storm, Circle Mirror Transformation is a beautifully-crafted comedy in which four lost New Englanders enrolled in a community acting class open up their lives with terrific detail, clarity, and poignancy.”

More details and where you can buy tickets here: http://www.saltlakeactingcompany.org/this-season/circle-mirror-transformation

Here’s the scoop on our guest Sassy. We’d consider it a real treat if you’d visit her super sweet blog!
…
Becca

I am a whirlwind of activity—in my mind anyway. That place sure is busy. I have the best of intentions to keep a clean house, cook delicious dinners, learn to dance, become fluent in Spanish and German, get my Masters degree, and travel the world. Instead, I spend my days exploring Salt Lake City with my 2 year old, teaching piano to a multitude of (i.e. TOO MANY) wonderful kids, practicing the piano, reading, writing, and missing my husband while he is away at work (why can’t we just be rich and hang out together all day?). Most recently, I became a reporter for the Sugar House Journal and am currently adjusting my schedule to accommodate that new adventure! You can read more about me and my whirlwind of activity on Thrilled by the Thought.

So what did the Sassies and guest Sassy Rebecca think of Salt Lake Acting Company? Read on to find out!
.

.
QUESTION

What was your first impression?

.

THE SCOOP

Rebecca: I loved that the neighborhood was up near the capitol and that the building was old and unique. The entryway was a bit cramped, but the theater was roomy. When the play started, I was excited because there was a good buzz in the air.
Camille: I was a little surprised to see a small, quaint brick building on a quiet street. Probably because I was expecting a large concert hall of some sort!
Jenny: Where’s the theater? Oh, there it is. In that…house? Church? Cool!
Stephanie: The lobby area seemed a little small and crowded so I was pleasantly surprised to see how big and open the theater area was.
Vanessa: I love the building that they hold their plays in, the charm of it, how clean they keep it, the welcoming staff and the seating itself, set up very nicely!
.

.

QUESTION

What did you like the most?

.

Rebecca: I really loved the actors and thought they were perfect for their parts.
Camille: Although I was surprised at first, I really did like the feeling of a small theater. The actors weren’t too far from where you’re sitting in the audience so you feel a little more “connected” to the play.
Jenny: The setup of the stage and seats. While not a theater-in-the-round, it seemed like most seats in the house were great seats. Very intimate stage-audience atmosphere.
Stephanie: The seating. The seats were large with lots of leg room. It didn’t feel like you were sitting on top of your neighbor.
Vanessa: I love their children’s plays like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Go, Do, Go! Maybe that shows off just how simple my mind is. I enjoy them as much as my kids and the acting, stage, scripts are really top notch.
.

A shot of the awesome leg room.

.

QUESTION

What didn’t you like?

.

THE SCOOP

Rebecca: The actors smoked on stage! The cigarettes were herbal, but still. It smelled bad.
Camille: I had a hard time really getting into the performance. I think it was the play itself, not necessarily the actors. But I’m willing to give it another whirl.
Jenny: The actual play wasn’t my style. I’d like to see another show at this venue, though.
Stephanie: The play we saw. It had a feminist and slightly political undertone which isn’t my cup of tea.
Vanessa: Their adult plays do not appeal to me and it really could be my simple mind! But the posters, ads, write ups, etc. on the different adult plays do not make me want to see them terribly too much.
.

.

QUESTION

Would you refer Salt Lake Acting Company to a friend?

.

THE SCOOP

Rebecca: Yes. I’d definitely tell people to go check out a play.
Camille: Probably to a friend that would appreciate the arts.
Jenny: Sure, if they are staunch supporters of local theater in Salt Lake City.
Stephanie: Yes. But I would have them research the play they are seeing. I have had several friends who have been there and love it.
Vanessa: Yes for children’s plays and to a certain type of friend, yes to the adult plays because I have been very impressed with the theatre, acting, staff, etc.
.

.

QUESTION

If you could only send out one tweet about the business, what would you say?

.

THE SCOOP

Rebecca: For a unique night out with the husband, check out @slactingco’s current play!
Camille: Skip the movies tonight – Experience it live at the @slactingco #Utah
Jenny: @slactingco is a great venue for intimate local theater. #SLC #theater #local
Stephanie: @slactingco is the little theater that could.
Vanessa: @slactingco is the place to go for a great night out with your family to see a wonderful children’s play every year!

Disclaimer: The Sassies and their guest Sassy were given tickets to The Persian Quarter—and vast amounts of leg room—in exchange for a review.

The Salt Lake Acting Company has been around for 40 years! SLAC strives to “produce seasons of thoughtful, provocative, regional and world premieres; nurture, support and develop a community of professional artists; produce and support emerging playwrights; and make a significant contribution to the community and to the American theatre field by commissioning, developing and producing new plays.”

Their lineup for the 2010-2011 year is: Boom, Angels in America, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, The Persian Quarter, Circle Mirror Transformation and Saturday’s Voyeur 2011. My first experience with Salt Lake Acting Company was when I took my daughters and niece to see If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and I was very impressed with the actors, staff, play and the actual theatre itself. This time we were invited to see an adult play with friends, which was a completely different experience that you will have to wait to hear about!

They invited the Sassies to see The Persian Quarter which “unfolds on the final day of the Iranian hostage crisis in 1980 Tehran with Anne, an American hostage and Shirin, an Iranian revolutionary student who is one of her captors.Thirty years later in New York City, their daughters, Emily and Azadeh, meet accidentally in an empty classroom at Columbia University during the visit of Iranian President Ahmadinejad.”

But we did want to give you a heads up on their two upcoming plays so maybe *YOU* can check them out along with us.

The Persian Quarter

February 2 – 27, 2011

SLAC proudly presents the World Premiere of The Persian Quarter by Kathleen Cahill (playwright of last season’s Charm.)

“…both a story told on a Persian carpet, and a piece of political history.”

In Kathleen Cahill’s THE PERSIAN QUARTER, a diplomatic crisis and a chance encounter trigger revelations of a shared past. The play unfolds on the final day of the Iranian hostage crisis in 1980 Tehran with Anne, an American hostage and Shirin, an Iranian revolutionary student who is one of her captors. Thirty years later in New York City, their daughters, Emily and Azadeh, meet accidentally in an empty classroom at Columbia University during the visit of Iranian President Ahmadinejad.

SLAC presents Circle Mirror Transformation by Annie Baker. A new play that took the New York theatre world by storm, Circle Mirror Transformation is a beautifully-crafted comedy in which four lost New Englanders enrolled in a community acting class open up their lives with terrific detail, clarity, and poignancy.

Recently awarded an Obie for Best New American Play
