At least for a quick visit. And...if you are sober, that can be hard. What's a sober person to do? My solution--The … Continue reading Sober in Vegas: The El Cortez
This week's post features place for those of us on a budget...with the new baby we're definitely more thoughtful about how and when we spend our dollars, and it's been fun to revisit a place I have memories of going to while growing up here in Vegas!

Hi friends-- We are experiencing a rare week of 40-50 degree days here in Vegas, so that has been an interesting change.

I am so excited to have a few minutes to update today--little one is sleeping in the basinet near me and I'm taking advantage of these moments to write.

I am delighted to add yet another location to the alcohol-free list of things to do here in Las Vegas.

My heart is with the victims and families of those present at the event on Sunday night and all those who experienced trauma that evening.

It's so hard during summer here to convince myself to turn on the oven for cooking...as much as I love cooking at home, during these triple digit months I end up eating out more than any other time of year. Good thing we have some incredible places to dine here in Vegas, and the recent … Continue reading Sober in Vegas: La Maison de Maggie
Hi friends! Back from a very long month of work and feeling so happy to be writing. So, I know in other parts of the country winter is the time for hibernation...in some ways Vegas' summer is when we locals find ourselves holed up inside. But I braved the heat for a great local farmers … Continue reading Sober in Vegas: Bruce Trent Park Farmer’s Market
One of the hardest parts about my early sobriety was keeping busy. What was I supposed to do with all that time I used to spend drinking and nursing my hangovers? And keeping busy (at least for me...) was key to keeping myself sober. Even though I've been working on my sobriety for over two … Continue reading Sober in Vegas: Weekend Event Links
