vegas with my sissy

*drumroll*

and now the moment you`ve all been waiting for

2 months after the fact

my recap on my vegas getaway!!

i have to say it was pretty hilarious the

way it all went down. i literally called my sister one

random afternoon and asked her if she would book

a trip to vegas with me that very day.

and she did.

to say we had an amazing time would be

quite the understatement. i mean, we only

had ourselves to take care of and even

at that, ourselves needed no taking care of.

we`d get up early, visit the pool for

a sun tan and a mid morning pina colada

(no rules in vegas right?)

stroll the strip, go shopping,

eat good food at nice restaurants,

dance the night away..

and then do it all again the next day.

i mean really, 

this has got to be an annual thing people!!

we also had the pleasure of celebrating

a lovely little lady's 30th birthday which

was filled with just the right amount of

shenanigans to keep us talking for the rest of the week.

without further ado, some photos that capture 

only the gist of the fun that ensued in 72 hours!

waiting at the bellingham airport for our flight.

damn, food there is not cheap, a flippin yogurt parfait was $5?!

but then this sorta made up for it, even though

i had to pay for it lol.

post limo cruise avec bud light lime-a-rita

in a paper bag. oh yes.

my artistic-while-sober panoramic shot of the strip.

i should start selling it.

an actual wedding chapel pop up shop on the strip!

this would have been so much easier 7 years ago...sheesh.

warhol turned floral at the bellagio!

said pina colada at the pool. so good.

delish dinner at serendipity 3.

topped off with a frozen hot chocolate!

crap. we have to go home now!

cheers to my sister for a fantastic getaway.

seriously. next year?

this is for bloggy mamas, strictly bloggy mamas

i recently discovered an opportunity that

i wanted to share with all of my mama friends in bloggy land.

before i do though, when i started this blog

i didn't quite know where it would end up. i, like most 

of you share daily, weekly (er, more like monthly) updates

on life, special events, DIY discoveries and great advice.

a lot of the blogs i follow are quite established: 

something i hope my own blog will turn out to be.

but hey 400 hits a month ain't so bad at this point.

(aha you lurkers, didn't think i'd find out did you!)

kidding. 

seriously though, thanks for visiting.

anywho, i have been looking around 

for ways to gain exposure, share my blog with

other bloggers and while i'm at it perhaps gain the opportunity 

to work with companies that want moms like us

to review things and share them with others.

enter: sverve

sverve is an social platform that allows moms who blog

find other great mom bloggers, source inspiration, diys, 

recipes (pinteresty) all from blogs! it is also a way

to take part in campaigns hosted by popular and

up and coming companies who are looking for people

to take part in reviewing their product.

you get to sort through the lists of campaigns that 

mean something to you, submit your interest and perhaps

come out with a free tester product of something great,

possibly some cash money and maybe something

to giveaway to your adoring fans.

lol.

anyway if this interests any of my lovely bloggy moms, 

click on the image below to direct you to the website so you can learn

more about it. sign up is free and best of all, there's a whole

network of mamas to meet!

sverve away my friends!
