Fun Things To Do in Las Vegas That Don't Center Around Food, Drinks or Gambling

Did you know there's more to Las Vegas than bars, casinos, and the strip? Are you looking for things to do in Vegas?

Well, I'm always trying to think of things to do, so I started a small list. The list has slowly grown and I'm constantly adding to it. I hadn't thought about sharing it until a couple friends mentioned they were trying to think of things to do with their kids during Spring Break. So hopefully this helps!  I'd love to hear if you have any ideas I missed!  Happy Spring!!

The weather is awesome! Let's Go to Las Vegas and Henderson Farmers' Markets!

The weather is so nice outside and it makes me to get outdoors more! What better than fresh local produce and the awesome outdoors?! I'm always trying to remember when the Farmers Markets are and where they're located in Las Vegas and Henderson, so I put this list together to find them all in one place.


Do you know of any that I missed?

If I Was a Spy... I'd Need This Erasable, Microwavable Notebook. The ROCKETBOOK!

Oh! I just thought of an idea - if I was a spy or wanted to write my friend a secret note, this would be perfect!  I could write my note and hand it to my friend. Once they read it, they just microwave the notebook and VOILA! The secret is gone from the pages!  That's it!  I'm ordering this!!  :D

Okay, I'm not a spy...but if i was, how great is this?!!

Seriously though - I love this idea!  How many notebooks do you use for notes, ideas, recipes, meal plans, etc., and then seem to lose track of where you kept those important notes?!  I do this often....

So when I came across this reusable notebook, I had to read more!  This is one notebook. You upload, organize, and now you're able to search for what you need without having a bunch of notebooks lying around your house.

30 Day Plank Challenge




30 DAY PLANK CHALLENGE

For this month's challenge group, I'm basing it on the  21 Day Fix workouts and meal plans and adding some fun to it. This 30 day plank challenge is a perfect addition to this month's challenge to tone up and boost our core muscles to the max.


The plank challenge from 30dayfitnesschallenges.com is their most popular 30 day fitness challenge. It's been taken by over 100,000 people over the past 12 months, so why not add it to our group?!

Pumpkin, Bison & Turkey Chili with Avocado Topping

Who knew pumpkin in chili would add such an awesome flavor and texture?! This chili has a delicious and unique flavor - just look at the ingredients and spices we used in the mix!  No chili seasoning packets used in this recipe! 

This recipe is extremely easy and my nephews were really excited to help me make this. Don't be scared of the cocoa powder and cinnamon. This has become my favorite chili recipe by far!

My nephews loved it and asked for seconds!  My parents thought it was a little too spicy and I thought it needed to be more spicy. The avocado adds a nice touch of flavor and contrast to the chili.
