While I usually share healthy and seriously yummy recipes, DIYs and crafts, today, I have a little something else on my mind.
Family.
Sometimes I wonder where time has gone. Sure, I could be talking about the summertime. Is it really the end of August? What? But, I’m not talking about the summer. I’m talking about my four-year-old.
I swear, some days it feels like she went from newborn to toddler and now “big girl” overnight. How did these last four years fly by in the blink of an eye?…
With a mild green colour, Mango Mint Smoothie is a refreshing and tasty blend of mango, mint and berries.
There’s nothing like the refreshing flavour combination of mango and mint in the summertime. With an exotic pop of mango flavour paired with cool mint, you just can’t go wrong. When they’re combined with berries, orange, and banana, they become even tastier.
You can sip the summer away with a Mango Mint Smoothie. Plop yourself in a chaise or hammock and let your worries melt away. Or, if you don’t have the time, simply close your eyes. With each sip, you can almost taste the sun and summertime fun.

There’s nothing like s’mores in the summertime. Whether it’s made over a campfire or baked into cookies, they are always an ooey gooey yummy summer treat!
Maybe it’s all the summers I spent at camp, but I have a serious love for s’mores. With perfectly roasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers, s’mores are simply delicious.
S’mores Cookies combine the best of s’mores with the best of cookies. Each one begins with a soft baked vanilla cookie, chocolate chips, and finishes off with a roasted marshmallow. Yum!

For our last vacation as a family of three, we decided to go somewhere warm and relaxing. So, we went to Las Vegas.
Flight to Las Vegas
I know what you’re thinking, Las Vegas is not a relaxing destination. It’s a party hardy kind of town. Well, when you’re staying off the strip at a resort that looks as tropical as anything in the Caribbean, it can definitely be a relaxing trip. Well, as relaxing as a trip can be with a three-year-old.
Over the years, I always imagined that my husband and I would have our babymoon (a last hoorah before the baby) on a beach in the Caribbean. But with Zika being what it is, it just didn’t seem worth it. I wanted to find a warm place where Zika wouldn’t pop up between booking my holiday and getting there.
Las Vegas seemed like the perfect place. It’s warm, but its dry environment makes it uninhabitable to mosquitos, let alone Zika mosquitos. And so, the trip planning began.
