Just as fast as the holidays snuck up on me, they vanished without a trace until next year when I hope to be a little more prepared! A little time off always goes by way to fast though, doesn’t it? While I wasn’t in the normal holiday spirit, certainly the best part about this time of year is getting together with family and friends that we haven’t seen in awhile. That’s really what it’s all about. Yea, we didn’t have too many decorations, or a lavish meal, but we did get to spend time together and that’s what counts. I even got some wine tasting in. wooo!

Lupo Restaurant
It is definitely the holiday season, and while I’m not too entirely prepared, Chris and I did finally get some Christmas decorations up the other night. Better late than never I guess, right? And what ever made me think that I would have some substantial time to work on my thesis over the holidays, I was sorely mistaken! There’s lots of shopping, prepping, and setting up get-togethers with good friends and family in town. I certainly can’t turn down a great meal with family! Last night we had dinner at a restaurant called Lupo in the Mandalay Bay. It was delicious and one of those nicer meals that make you smile. (more…)

FNCE 2010 – positivity, inspiration, empowerment
Looking back on my experience at FNCE last weekend, I have never felt more positive energy and inspiration from a group of professionals all looking to improve the overall health and lives of others. Granted this was only my second FNCE conference, first one as a dietitian, but I hope to remain on this positivity high for a long time to come. I met some amazing RDs and it was so neat to finally meet many of my twitter friends and put an actual face with a name! (more…)

camp blogaway blast
I still cannot believe that I was invited to attend CampBlogaway, and I was absolutely thrilled to be there with other fabulous and talented food bloggers. I love being around others who all have such a passion and joyful energy in what they do. I know many of us don’t blog for our income as a ‘job’ per se, but we do it because we love it, we have a strong passion for it, and it gives us that spark to life and who we are. This event was definitely one of those that will be remembered and cherished for a very long time. (more…)

staycation at The M Resort
Many times taking a full vacation out of town is not always feasible or affordable, so to celebrate our 4th anniversary Chris and I decided to have a mini staycation at the M Resort! It’s fairly close to us, easy to get to, and is a beautiful hotel. It’s also not too far from the Strip either, but we kind of like being off the hustle and bustle of the strip ‘looking in’ from afar. It turned out to be a quick trip, and I wanted to stay longer of course, but it was fun and gave us a little break time together. (more…)

happy campers in mt. charleston
Hello! Chris and I made a bee line for Mt. Charleston last Friday to get in some good ol’ camping and biking. We kind of got everything together last minute, and it was a pretty short trip, but we had fun! It was nice to get out of the Vegas heat and not have cell phone service for a little while. Sometimes it’s just nice to sit out in nature with a book in hand, a cool breeze at your back, and nothing but whispering trees and chippers climbing up your leg wanting more pistachios. (more…)
