If you want to make the most of the 21st century, live like your grandma. That's how many younger generations are choosing to find happiness and fulfillment in the modern era. Dubbed "grandmacore" or "granny hobbies," the trend encompasses a wide range of activities that evoke a sense of nostalgia and slower living and has captured the attention of thousands of mostly millennial and Gen Z women.

KAMAS — Kamas isn't normally a prime travel destination, but it has a new attraction: the first Ballerina Farm Stand, which opened this week. Although the stand is small and simple — a little white shack off a side road marked with a hanging sign and a painted green goose — it represents a sizable farm, a big family and a huge worldwide following.

I have seven wonderful backyard chickens, but I don't think I truly appreciated them until last week, when my mom told me the local Costco was no longer selling eggs. With bird flu causing a nationwide egg shortage, many stores have been forced to either raise egg prices or stop selling them altogether. For me and my backyard flock, that's not a problem; I've been getting four eggs a day this winter, and that will increase to about six a day in the spring and summer.

Hailey Deeds' daily routine looks a little different from that of most 24-year-olds. After a full day of juggling working from home with caring for her infant daughter, she drives 45 minutes to Nephi to meet her husband, Matt, where they are building their home. Neither Hailey nor Matt has ever built a house before, but their home is looking fantastic - when we spoke, the concrete driveway was just poured, carpet had been laid and the toilets and other fixtures had all been installed.

One of my favorite holiday traditions is exchanging small, homemade gifts with my neighbors. It's exciting to see my neighbors and wish them a merry Christmas, and I love eating the treats they bake every year. However, there are already plenty of baked goods in the kitchen during the holiday season. While I'll never say no to another plate of cookies, I appreciate treats that I don't need to eat right away.
