Las Vegas {Part Three}

Happy Thursday!! Today I am sharing the third and final part of our Las Vegas trip! You can find parts one and two, plus all things Vegas food, HERE.

Wednesday, December 31

We started NYE off by going over to the Luxor hotel. We were actually planning to stay here instead of Flamingo, but my mother in law changed her mind right before the trip. We were actually glad we didn't stay here, because it was kind of far from a lot of things. Plus, we heard that it's really not a great place to stay anyway.

We went to Luxor for Play Playground- an adult play ground. We each got credits to play the games. Some were individual and some were team. We had fun, but I don't think I'd do it again. Once it got busy, some of us overwhelmed and just ready to go.

Back at the hotel and ready to ring in the new year!

We had In n Out for dinner and got ice cream at Ghirardelli (as I am typing this I'm just now finding out there's a second 'r' in Ghirardelli, lol).

For the rest of the night, we walked around the hotel and casino, walked next door to check out the hotel and casino there, watched NYE shows, and hung out. We could see the fireworks at the Venetian from our room! We could also see just a tiny bit of the Sphere, and it had fun things displayed all night. We also got our things packed and ready to go home...

Our first flight had a rough start, and I got scared on a plane for the first time. Not sure why I was so nervous, but I was super happy to see the ground a few hours later!

Two faves from all the flights. These pretzels are SO good! And oh my, the water on Southwest is a new favorite 😂. It was very smooth if that makes sense....hahaha.

We had such a great trip with great weather, great food and drinks, and best of all- great company! If you're considering a trip to Las Vegas, let this be your sign to GO! It really is so much fun! There's so much to see and do just by walking through the different hotels. There is also lots of great shopping, and if I haven't mentioned it yet, so much good food!

Have a great Thursday!

Let's Look: January 2026

Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Some Christmas funnies for ya.... 😂😂😂 "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday- Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree!

My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea.
