The children's section of Bountiful City Cemetery is adorned with beautiful Christmas lights, creating a heartwarming and reflective scene for the holiday season. Residents have expressed their gratitude on social media, with many moved by the care and effort behind the display. Itβs unclear if the decorations are part of an annual tradition, but the thoughtful gesture has become a source of peace and joy for grieving families and the broader community.

Layton's Mindful Mommy Maternity to Close Doors Permanently
Mindful Mommy Maternity, a beloved local shop specializing in maternity and nursing clothing, has announced it will permanently close its doors, both in-store and online, on December 20, 2024. The owner shared the news on the Davis County Events Facebook page, expressing heartfelt gratitude for the loyalty and support of customers throughout the storeβs journey.
Located at 1330 E Hwy 193, Suite D7, in Layton, the store has served as a resource for expectant and nursing mothers, fostering a strong sense of community and offering practical, stylish apparel. Despite the closure, the owner reflected with pride on the positive impact the store has made on families in the area.
To express appreciation to customers during its final week, Mindful Mommy Maternity is offering a 40% discount for purchases made via cash or Venmo. Shoppers have until December 20 to take advantage of this offer and bid farewell to this cherished local business.
For further inquiries, the store can be reached at (801) 217-3056.
