Not long ago, Kathryn revealed a great idea she'd be incubating in her little mind. She wanted to start a blog about Mesa. Things to do in Mesa and surrounding areas, things to do at home, gardening in the "oven" (what my CA friends kindly refer to Arizona as... it's not my fault they only visited in the Summer), recognize local small businesses and anything else to help people get the most out of where we live. With the help of Angela, we created the one and only

And then we decided it might be better (and kind of fun) to remain anonymous. But then we debuted our new blog and didn't have quite the response we wanted. We've decided maybe if people know it's us, they will be more likely to spread the word, because obviously we're COOL. Right? Maybe not. But maybe. :) Thanks to all those of you that weren't afraid (although we wonder how many of you knew full well it was us) to comment, post about the blog on your blog and e-mail us suggestions.

So here are five reasons you should put an iheartmesa button on your blog (in the sidebar) if you already haven't:

1.) You could win $25 (you have until Midnight on Friday) read how to be entered to win here
2.) It would make me happy
3.) You'd help others realize the fun things to do in Mesa and surrounding areas
4.) It's a cool button (thanks Angela!)
5.) You'd always know where to go to get good ideas and tips, you can support local businesses and you'll know what's happening in and around Mesa.

You don't have to live in Mesa, or even Arizona, to be involved. Keep sending us suggestions or leaving comments. If you know of something fun going on, let us know. If you know of someone that you'd like to post about their local business, let us know. If you want to share a gardening tip, let us know. If you have a great activity to do on a rainy day, let us know. And if you think our blog is lame, don't let us know. :)
