Welcome to the blog!
Six years ago I was walking the sidewalks of Downtown
Mesa, lamenting the fact that far too many people under-appreciate our great
city. Soon after that, I Heart Mesa was
born. Marily and I blogged at
iheartmesa.com for three and a half years.
We enjoyed spreading a little community cheer. However, life happened. Babies were born, children grew, different
needs needed to be met, and for two quick years, I Heart Mesa lay dormant. Never really wanting to be finished, we are
back at it, this time with even more life experience and a bigger and better
site, iheartaz.com.
We might not be polished to perfection. We take being told we are "down to
earth" as one of the highest compliments.
We don't profess that we can do it all.
But, we do want to keep spreading the love of our community and our
great state. Our goal is to get more
people to truly enjoy being in Arizona. We
live in a dessert with browns and tans and lots of dirt and pokey things. But, there is so much beauty and enjoyment
here! Our theory: if we can get people to have a little more
Arizona pride, the well-being of our entire state will improve.
We are the great-granddaughters of those that helped to
settle this great state and we are excited to show you just what Arizona is all
about.
Love,
Kathryn and Marily
We are retired and I still lack time to continue my blog so I understand. About 14 months ago we purchased a "winter" home in Apache Junction after spending two winters there in our RV. This time we were there for eight months because we love it there! Our daughter and her family live in Chandler. Our son and his wife live in IL though so we'll continue to live here part of the year.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am thrilled that you are back because your blog was my inspiration for a good many things we have done out there with our grandkids. I look forward to many more tips here on your new site about local activities for our return to AJ, AZ in the fall!
Oh Bev! I remember you!! You were always so kind with inspiring and motivating comments on I Heart Mesa. So glad you found that we are back and so glad we can help you find fun things to do! We'll work on some great fall posts.
DeleteI'm so grateful that you are doing this!! Thank you!
