Today marks the first day of Winter! I have officially been on vacation this week and admit there have been several naps involved in my week’s itinerary, just like my good ‘ole friend, Snoopy! The temperature has been fairly mild here in Vegas, which has been pleasant, but I wouldn’t mind it getting a bit colder to make it feel… View Post
My husband’s birthday is in the month of December and since he’s a surfer boy (which is a tad challenging seeing as we live in the desert!), I thought I would add a bit of a tropical Christmas theme to the festivities! Since this month has been extremely hectic and jam-packed, we decided to go for a celebratory dinner and… View Post
Since there is a Muppets revival recently with the release of the new movie at the end of the month, I was inspired to throw a Miss Piggy party, which seemed fitting to celebrate my grandmother’s birthday, as both ladies are extremely posh, chic and glamorous! We also have a special place in our heart for pigs, as several members of… View Post

Though the airline is no longer in operation, we still have many fond memories of it and I decided to… View Post
My family and I had been watching the animated movie “Gnomeo and Juliet” recently and I was inspired by all the fun and gaudy lawn decorations featured in the movie! We decided to invite friends over for some some snacks, desserts and “fun in the sun” activities! 2B or not 2B?! The story of Gnomeo and Juliet is based on the… View Post
