💛 I love a home with a name 💛

🏡 Meet Moore Manor - built by the Moore family, and shaped by families along the way.

Now available in the numbered streets. 5 bed • 2 bath • 2,848 sq ft • $490,000.

👇Drop a 🏡 if you love a home with history too, or comment ’MANOR’ and I’ll send you the full listing.

Would you keep the name Moore Manor-or make it your own?

I am in denial that this may be the last time.

Saturday, July 4• Snake River Landing • 10:03 PM.

After 33 years, this is expected to be the final Melaleuca Freedom Celebration–the biggest firework show west of the Mississippi, right here over our own Snake River. My whole family has grown up under these skies. Five generations, one tradition, same riverbank every single year… And this year we’re soaking in every second of it.

Before it goes quiet, I want to say thank you. To the Vandersloots and Melaleuca: The Wellness Company, who have poured millions into giving this whole community a night like this–for free–year after year. And of course to the Idaho Falls Police, Idaho Falls Fire Department, the City of Idaho Falls, and Ball Ventures Ball who makBall Ventures happen. Not every town gets a gift like this one. 🎆

So if you’ve been telling yourself “we’ll go next year“… this is next year. Bring the kids, bring a blanket, and bring a radio tuned to Classy 97 so the music lines up with the sky. (the digital radio is never really lined up quite right, and the reception is not reliable) 📻

Go make the memory. And thank you for everything Melaleuca. ❤️

What’s your family’s 4th of July tradition? Are you going?

Sent my whole family to Pocatello without me.

Husband. Both sons. Daughter-in-law. Granddaughter. All of them. I was at cheer with Harper so they loaded up and left without a second thought.

And seriously-good for them!

One text came through about an hour later: “Worth. The. Drive.”

That’s it. No photos. No details. Just that.

Dunk Burger is a pop-up food truck in Old Town Pocatello-they announce it on social media, you show up, you wait, you order at the window. The burger is smashed, loaded with cheese sauce, wrapped in foil. They even make their own crinkle chips. You eat in your car like you’re 17 and it is life changing.

We’ve been before and it earns the hype every single time.

Pocatello is an hour from Idaho Falls and I think we seriously sleep on that city. Adding this one on the East Idaho road trip list now.

Have you been? And what else is Pocatello hiding-drop it below 👇

Full disclosure-I’ve seen Shoshone Falls roaring after a heavy snow season and it will absolutely take your breath away.

This year? We’re in a drought. The water is low. And honestly… it’s still stunning.

That’s how you know a place is special-it’s beautiful even on its worst day.

Shoshone Falls drops 212 feet-36 feet taller than Niagara-and whether it’s a trickle or a torrent, standing at the edge of that canyon never gets old. I’ve lived in this area most of my life and it still stops me.

Spring runoff is usually peak season, but if you haven’t been this year don’t let the drought stop you. Go anyway. The canyon alone is worth the drive.

This is stop #1 in the East Idaho Waterfall Guide I’ve been putting together. Comment or DM me WATERFALLS and I’ll send you the free guide when it’s ready-more stops coming soon.

There. All better.
I am always so sad when the tulips are over. Has anyone ever been to the Tulip Festival in Draper???

Sunday mornings are crazy. Saturday morning is my favorite!

Okay, if Idaho Falls had its own little award show…these would be a few of my winners 🏆

A mix of go-to favorites and a few that feel a little under-the-radar...but all of them are places I find myself going back to again and again.

That’s one of my favorite things about living here…there’s always a spot that just fits whatever kind of day you’re having.

But I know I’m missing some good ones.

What would you add to this list? 👇

If we haven’t met, I’m Karen-a local Realtor here in Idaho Falls & Ammon, sharing the places and neighborhoods that make living here feel really good.
