Family Friendly Las Vegas: The Harlem Globetrotters
My family loves basketball, and we’re from NY. In fact David was born in Harlem. We’re also always looking for something new and different to do as a family. That’s the entire reason I have the Family Friendly Las Vegas series here on The Vegas Mom. Which is why when the Harlem Globetrotters reached out to me to tell you all they’re coming to Las Vegas I was excited. We are definitely excited to go see them. The Harlem Globetrotters were founded in 1926, and are still relevant today. They have more than 400 live events a year all around the world. Luckily for us they’re going to be coming…

Three Back to School Outfits
Back to school is around the corner here in Las Vegas. I’m pretty sure in other areas as well. I was so used to school starting after Labor Day from when I lived in NY, but here it’s different. We are doing homeschool Pre-K for DJ, and I’m still deciding when I want to start. Even though we are doing homeschool for Pre-K I wanted to go back to school shopping for him. I wanted him to get just as excited for new things for school like I used to. I decided to check out Rockets of Awesome to create some cute back to school outfits. Everything was purchased in…

Simple Calm Down Bottle
The terrible twos are a very real thing, and Brooklyn has a terrible case. I have been looking for ways to try to get her to calm down. I remembered that when I was a preschool teacher they had calm down bottles. Which led me to trying to make my own simple calm down bottle. This is only my first attempt. My goal is to make a bunch of different kinds. Next time, I want to have Brooklyn and DJ pick out their own colors and things to put inside. This post contains affiliate links.

Should We Have Another Baby?
Is it okay to have more than two kids? I won’t lie to you I have always wanted a big family. There was a point in time where I wanted five kids. That is definitely not the plan anymore. However, I do really want another child. That would make three children in total. David goes back and forth between wanting another baby. The real question is should we have another baby? The thing that gets to me is how everyone has decided for me that I’m done. People love to say, “You have a boy and a girl! How perfect! Now you’re done.” Excuse me? I understand that people don’t mean…

Top 3 Must Have Items I Use for Going in the Pool with Toddlers
One thing everyone loves about the summer is going to the pool. The great thing about our new house is that we have a big pool. However, I was definitely not prepared.

Father’s Day Footsteps Craft
With Father’s Day this weekend I wanted to make sure the kids got their gift for David done. I wanted to do something we haven’t done yet before. However, I wanted it to be something that showing their age for the future. After thinking for a little I remember a craft we did back when I was a preschool teacher. It was a Father’s Day footsteps craft. We took an adult male’s show and traced it. We had the students cut it out, and then step on the cut out show print with their painted foot.
