Recently a friend and I had the opportunity to visit a very special secret place on the Strip....hidden deep within the walls of the Louis Vuitton at The Shops at Crystals in James Turrell's Akhob. James Turrell, who is known for his work with light, space and color, creates what I think of more as 'experiences' … Continue reading James Turrell’s Akhob
Hey All! I've been working to compile a list of refreshing non-alcoholic beverages along The Strip, including grab-n-go, casual dining, and upscale restaurants. People reach out to me from all walks of life asking about visiting Vegas when they're not drinking. Sometimes they're sober, but sometimes they're not. Sometimes they just don't want to drink … Continue reading Sober-Friendly Strip Tips #11: What and Where to Drink When You’re Not Drinking
I think at this point we've established how much I enjoy magic shows. I love the classic Vegas entertainment history they represent, I love being in a room with other people in the dark and watching something unexpected unfold, and I love that magic is such a complicated and highly trained artform. But over the … Continue reading The Magic of Jen Kramer
Hey friends!

Does anyone else always find that they somehow attract little bits of paper...everywhere? All the time?

Summer in Vegas is a few things. It's hot. It's long. It's when pretty much everyone is cranky. I know when I lived in Chicago the hardest months for me were April & May because it felt like it should be spring but then I'd wake up to a dusting of snow and the sadness would set … Continue reading Taco y Taco
Lately I have been all over the map in terms of emotions. I've snapped at people close to me, I've had a few self-loathing spirals, I just haven't generally felt myself. In the past alcohol was the solution to these cycles. It made the frustration pass quickly and after a few weeks of benders I'd … Continue reading Sitting with difficult emotions
Hey friends! Summer is summering on with its long days and short nights, and in between working extra hours at my job and keeping up with our baby girl, we've spent this past weekend indoors. What's been really nice about spending time at home this weekend was finally having some time to cook and bake. … Continue reading WellBeing Brewing Non-Alcoholic Beers in Review
This past weekend was one of the first times I've been out of the house past 8pm since baby girl was born back at the end of December.

Summer is here in full force...basically all I can bring myself to do outside of rallying to get to work on time is walk down the block to the pool or lay on the floor under the A/C with our baby girl and our two cats, all of whom are also trying to hide from … Continue reading Belvoir Fruit Farms Review
