Welcome!
If you are on this post, chances are you are visiting from 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party! This year while we party and get to know each other, I will also giving away a $100 Amazon Gift Card (entry below).
About Me!
My name is Emily, and my blog is Family and Life in Las Vegas, but then you probably already figured that out. I like green smoothies, hot yoga, spin class, Disney, bubbly water, cupcakes, and watching entirely too much reality TV. I am also a bit of an insomniac…
When I am not playing everyday superhero (at least my son thinks I am one…), I am a stay at home mom to an almost 3 year old crazy little boy that I call Squishy. (He was born 10 lbs 2oz.)
If you love that Squishy picture – there are more newborn and other favorite pictures here under Meet Squishy!
But now he is almost three – and a lot LESS Squishy and a lot MORE sassy!
My blog focuses on Family, Fitness and Fun and all the Adventure’s we have in between. I am currently a FitFluential Ambassador and a Step2 Test Drive Mom.
Each week I have a few different regular feature’s on my blog.
- Ever Wednesday I write a letter to my son called – Dear Squishy. This week I questioned whether his new Mohawk increased his Sass Level.
- On Thursday we have Toddler Talk which focuses on topics that parents/caregivers of toddlers can identify with. There is a new topic each week, and the link up is open all week.Check out this week’s Toddler Talk – Toddlers and Sports!
- On Sunday I co-host Sweat To Street – A Fashion link up designed to share your fitness fashion and street style! Check out last week’s post – It includes my WORST GYM FACE EVER!
And if you still need to read more – or just want to check out this list of my favorite recent posts.
- A Child’s Smile
- Donate Art for Memory Boxes
- Finding My True Blogging Voice
- Lesson’s Children Teach Their Parents
- You Are Strong! – Fitness Friday
Thank you SO much for partying with me! Please make sure to leave a comment below so that I can visit you back! And don’t forget to enter to win $100 Amazon Gift Card just below!

Saw you on the UBP linky and stopped in to say ‘hi’. Looking forward to meeting you in NYC!
I love that you do a weekly letter to Mr. Squishy–very cool. We used to be a family in Vegas too, but we traded in the desert for trees a couple of years ago. Partying with you from UBP12. Stop by soon. http://bit.ly/IIFKbE
I would like to add you to my G+ circles but I need you to add me first so that my page can follow yours:

Visiting from the party. You have a really handsome looking dude!!
I have never been to Vegas but have always wanted to go. I love his Mohawk and if he is anything like my oldest was it definitely ups the sass factor. Have fun partying with UBP

LOVE this post – I can’t wait to explore your blog more (especially love that your nickname for your son is Squishy)! I did Sweat to Street for the first time yesterday and think it’s about to become a regular part of LauraLivesLife – such a great idea!
Joining the party! I love your idea of letters to squishy. I may have to start writing letters to My Little Guy!

I’d enter but I honestly have no use for anything on AMAZON. 😛 Well, I do but I already have enough crap as it is. And no room to put any more of it.
Just stopping by from the BLOG PARTY & wanted to say heyo! 🙂
Great post and no Mohawks do not make them sassier just ask my son who will soon be 5. He is Mr Know It All.
10 lbs?! Wow, I thought my 9pounder was a big baby, I can’t imagine any bigger.
Love the pics, especially the superhero pic! Love the Dear … post idea, I will have to come back Wednesday!
Stopping by from Ultimate Blog Party 2012! Hope you’ll stop by and visit me at Mom and More!
Following you from Toddler Talk. I am going to spread the word to get more links! Anyway, also saying hi from UBP! I like your blog. Lots of great ideas! Stop by and check out my blog when you get a chance.
