ZOZI

As if I don't get enough Daily Deals or Boutiques in my inbox each day; I signed up for the newest one I came across, Zozi. They focus more on adventures and activities giving you a true experience. One thing I also liked about them is that they give a portion of their profits back to the local communities that they operate in. Check them out!

Snowshoeing

NFRs

Every year for 10 days in December Vegas turns country, as cowboys and girls gather for The National Finals Rodeo! It is the best of the best, no messing around true rodeo. We went down for the weekend and went to the final Saturday night rodeo, a ton of fun! Spend a lot of time at Cowboy Christmas, which is where vendors from all over gather in the convention center to make up a country shopping extravaganza!

The christmas decor in the various hotels is amazing this time of year. With a few days until Christmas I'll leave you with some pics of decor from the Bellagio, enjoy!

Holiday Giving

This past weekend I got together with some girlfriends for our annual day of wrapping presents for The Forgotten Children's Fund! It is a great seasonal organization that raises money to purchase, wrap, and deliver gifts to needy Children.

Each child receives a new winter coat, a bicycle (if desired), helmet and at least three toys! Food staples and warm blanket are also included for the family. The gifts are delivered on Christmas eve and day from Santa and his team of elves. They are currently serving more than 2,900 children in 800 families.

Make sure to check them out if you're looking for somewhere to volunteer for the holidays, its fun and for a good cause!

Over the last couple of years for Christmas, John and I have gone shopping for toys and donated them to Toys For Tots, this year we asked people to bring a toy to donate to our Apple Cup party. We dropped the bundle of toys off over the weekend, Thank you to everyone who brought something! Wish we could all see the look on the kids faces who receive them.

Wow!

Where has the time gone!! Last I blogged it was early spring, now as I sit here writing this the snow is falling and the holidays are fast approaching. Since that time we've had a lot of fun, which means there is a lot to share. We finished planning our wedding and got married, in fact today 1 year ago John proposed, crazy to think all that has gone on between now and then.

I love this time of year! We thought things would slow down after the wedding but they haven't and December seems to be just as packed. We'll be kicking off the first weekend with Apple Cup, the next weekend we're headed to The National Finals Rodeo and hopefully to win big in good ol' Las Vegas and that leaves one weekend to enjoy the holiday festivities with friends and family before Christmas day. Seems to go by faster every year!

Enjoy the snow!

oh, and I just saw Yankee candles is having a buy 2 large jars or tumblers and get 2 free! Pretty good deal...

Pound For Pound Challenge!

Finally feels a little like summer today, yay!! It seems this time of year everyone has the workout bug, I know we do especially with our wedding almost 2 months out. Right now you can do something to help feed the hungry in America, and help yourself in the process. For every pound of weight you pledge to lose, the Pound For Pound Challenge will donate 14¢ to Feeding America® — enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a local food bank! You can pledge through June 30th. There is a large amount of kids who now that schools out will be going with out breakfast, lunch and some dinner. If you are already working towards a goal or have wanted to start, make a pledge and make someone else's summer a little better.
