Let's Do This Thing

I am suddenly inspired to start blogging about my life as a mom in Las Vegas. The spark that lit this towering inferno of creative scribblings (what do you mean, 1 entry doesn't count?) is an assignment I got recently writing about kid-friendly activities for KNPR's member publication, Desert Companion. Sure, I have loved listening to Classical 89.7 since moving here in 2004, but I had no idea that I would one day be tied to KNPR in any way, shape or form.

So technically I have not even been published yet (hold your breath - the May-June issue is right around the corner!) But the whole exercise got me thinking about living in Las Vegas. There is a lot to do here for kids, although not many consider it a very child-friendly town. And I think it would be fun to post my wanderings, experiences, thoughts, and kid-friendly activities. But most of all I really wanted a place where I could beat unsuspecting readers over the head with my opinions. I love doing that.

So come back every once in a while and see what else I have posted. It may be nothing, it may be something, who knows where this thing will take me. One thing I know for sure: if you are a fellow mama in Las Vegas, you belong here.

    This is amazing! I'm a mother of 3 beautiful little ones (ages 8, 5 and 3 - YIKES!). We recently moved to Las Vegas (hubby got a new job) and your blog seems like it will help me and my kids with the transition. I look forward to reading your ideas and experiences.

The Sweetest Little Thing

The giveaway is closed to new entries! I will be selecting a winner at random and will notify the winner soon! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am doing a giveaway for a beautiful, sweet little girls' apron. It ties around the back, has buttons down the front and has a cute little pocket for your chef-in-training to keep their mandolin or their chinoise in. Or whatever else fits. As you can see, it is pink with white polka dots and white trim. The buttons alternate in pink and white. I made this myself, and I will make one for you too! Well, not really for you. Unless you are a child who is extremely adept at using a computer to visit blogs. Which there probably are some. But really, it is for your daughter, your granddaughter, your neighbor's daughter, your niece, your BFF's daughter, or any other little girl that you love enough to try and win this for. You can also see more pictures of the apron over at Airing My Dirty Laundry . Entering is easy. Ways to enter are: 1. F

Pinot's Palette Town Square

The twins have been born!! In case you are wondering why I have been posting so little lately, this explains my absence. It's pretty amazing to snuggle two fuzzy baby heads instead of just one! But... it is also twice the work. Because of this, the sleepless nights and monotony of daily life tend to take their toll. Add into the mix 4 other children, whom I homeschool, and you get a mama who is in need of a good night out with friends. I have yet to attend a paint and sip studio, but I am kinda dying to get to one! The idea of relaxing with friends and having a chance to paint with something other than finger paints is very appealing to me right now. A little birdie told me that Pinot's Palette is opening a new location at one of my favorite spots - Town Square. In fact, it seems they're partnering with St. Jude's Research Hospital for their opening weekend on April 7th and 8th . I love a successful company that finds ways to pass on their good fortune, don't y

My Big Break

I made another video, starring ME. This is my big break. I am going to be discovered, I just know it. Leave me a comment and tell me how much of a fan you are and how you are going to name your children and/or pets after me. Follow me on Twitter. Stalk me a little. Ok, do not stalk me. I will call the cops on you. But you can totally dress like me, that would be cool. I am not sure where you are going to find such hip and stylish clothes, but it might be Target. I am neither denying nor confirming. I have had so much fun with all of this, I feel so privileged to have worked with Graco at the Expo! Don't forget to enter the giveaway of a Graco Direct Connect Baby Monitor!!
