The Vegas Mom | Samantha
I know I’ve been gone a while. Mentally I couldn I know I’ve been gone a while. Mentally I couldn’t bring myself to post a pretty picture and pretend I wasn’t a mess. This year hit me me with bad things after bad thing. It was hard to wrap my head around them, and I couldn’t seem to bring myself back to normal. I don’t want to let myself stay stuck in those feelings. I do have a lot of good in my life as well, and I want to go back to sharing with you all.

Quick, easy, and delicious appetizer for NYE? Chec Quick, easy, and delicious appetizer for NYE? Check!

After the year we’ve had I wanted appetizers that were not only easy, but extremely delicious. I was able to make fish & chips for my family of six in 10 minutes in my air fryer. I used @gortonsseafood beer battered fish fillets and it’s a huge hit.

I love Gorton’s because they use 100% wild caught fish. In addition, they’re fish is a great source of protein.

happy birthday in heaven They say time heals all happy birthday in heaven

They say time heals all wounds, but I know this is one thing that I will never truly heal from. This is my stepdad’s, who I consider my actual dad, 13th birthday in heaven. It never gets an easier. There are so many things that he missed. He never saw me graduate high school. He never met my husband. He never saw me get married or got to walk me down the aisle. He never met his grandchildren. There are so many thing I wish I could say to him, but I never will be able to. It hurts my soul knowing he was made to be a grandfather, but never got to meet DJ & Brooklyn.

Happy 73rd birthday Dennis. I love & miss you.

merry christmas eve I hope everyone has a great merry  christmas eve

I hope everyone has a great Christmas Eve today if you celebrate. I didn’t celebrate on Christmas Eve until I met my husband. Now instead of one day we get to celebrate for two.

What are you doing for Christmas Eve?

Thank you @cinemapoplv for making our first movie Thank you @cinemapoplv for making our first movie theater experience magical.

Personally, my family is a long way off from being able to take our kids to the movies. Add on top of that the fact we are in the middle of a pandemic. That’s why this was the perfect experience. They provided a huge 14 ft screen with any movie of our choice. In addition, they provided all the snacks and drinks. Their package is for up to 10 people.

DJ has already asked me multiple times in the last few days since we did it when we can do it again. That should show you how amazing it was!

I can’t wait for the weather to get nicer to do it again, but this time outside!

    September 29, 2020 /

    TI have rounded up five Halloween books for you to read with your kids just like yesterday’s six cute Halloween movies. All of these books are available in a physical book and on Kindle Unlimited. Personally, I love a good mix of physical books and on my Kindle app. These books are geared for kids from as little as two up until ten. Hopefully you find a book on here to read with your child, niece, nephew, etc. 5 Halloween Books for Kids Corduroy’s Best Halloween Ever by Jean Palmer At the Old Haunted House by Helen Ketteman When the Clock Strikes on Halloween by Lisa Ferland Sammy’s Spooktacular Halloween by…

    Children’s Book of the Week: Explode The Code primers

    July 21, 2020 /

    This week’s book of the week is different from normal. Usually I post about books we are readying; however, this week I’m talking about a series of books I’ve been using to teach DJ how to write and phonics. The books are Explode The Code primers by Nancy Hall. There are three books in total. They’re the primer books for her Explode the Code series.  I really wanted DJ to get a head start on learning how to write and say his letters correctly before Kindergarten started. Originally, I was doing them every single day. However, COVID got in the way. David started working from home, and things needed to be shifted…

     I’m back with another children’s book of the week. This week’s book is Lacey Walker, Nonstop Talker written by Christianne Jones, and illustrated by Richard Watson. As usual, I am using Kindle Unlimited to read this book. I haven’t actually read this book with DJ and Brooklyn yet, but I do plan on it tonight. However, I have read this book myself to make sure it was a good fit for them and this blog.

    It’s time for another children’s book of the week! I always look forward to these posts, because I love discovering new books to read to DJ and Brooklyn. This week’s book is Eraser written by Anna Kang and illustrated by Christopher Weyant. As usual, I have this book through Kindle Unlimited. Eraser is a new book in our collection, and I haven’t actually read it to DJ and Brooklyn yet. However, I’m extremely excited to read it to them tonight. I have read it through a few times to make sure it’s a good fit. In addition, I wanted to be able to share it with you.

    It’s time for another children’s book of the week! This week I’m going to be sharing The Bad Seed written by Jory John & illustrated Pete Oswald. As usual, I have this book through Kindle Unlimited. Sign up and get your first month free! The Bad Seed is definitely a bedtime favorite for DJ. Not only is the illustration gorgeous, but we love the story. DJ loves yelling, “I’M A BAAAAAD SEED!” This book follows a “bad” seed. He starts off by explaining all the bad things he does. In addition, he explains why he is the way he is. He told us his life story, and why he became a “bad” seed.…

    3 Cute Christmas Books for Little Kids

    December 5, 2019 /

    Welcome to day five of Blogmas! I’m sure it is not surprise I love books. That’s why I do a book of the week almost every week. I tend to stick to children’s books, and I don’t share every single book we read together. During Blogmas I’m sharing holiday themed books; however, I’m only getting to share four holiday books this month. I wanted to share three more Christmas books for little kids that I think are adorable.  As usual these books are on Kindle Unlimited. We pay for it monthly, and get good use out of it. Hopefully, you can find some new books that you hadn’t heard of…

    Welcome to day two of Blogmas! During Blogmas all of the book of the week posts will be holiday or winter themed. I got this week’s book through Kindle Unlimited. This week’s book is The Magic of Friendship Snow by Andi Cann. It was so cute, and I loved reading it to DJ and Brooklyn. It is a bit long at 62 pages; however, half of those are pictures. In addition, each page is no more than four sentences long. Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

    I’m back with another book of the week. Actually, this is a set of thirteen books. I was actually sent these books, but was not to do a review or anything in return for them. However, I really wanted to share these books with you. I think these books would be a great present for any child. It doesn’t matter if you have read it to them or if they read. First, I wanted to mention that they use a specific font for dyslexic readers called Dyslexie. If you ask me that is amazing. Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
