Here's my Summer 2025 Vegas restaurant recs:

• Delilah at the Wynn. It's dinner with a live band/singer. Incredible vibe. VERY hard to get reservations, but if you can snag them, you won't be disappointed. Plan very far in advance.
• Mayfair Supper Club at the Bellagio. Similar to Delilah, it's a dinner + show vibe. Incredible performers and the food and drinks are great too.
  (just went here in July 2025 and we had an amazing meal and spent some $$ and the host walked us right into Pinky Ring, which is Bruno Mars' intimate night club, it was incredible!!!)
• RPM at Caesars is very good. Still upscale but a little more chill in the vibe, you can eat well here and really talk/hear each other and the service is 10/10.
• I have heard incredible things about Cathedrale, Pisces, and Casa Playa at the Wynn.

There's a lot of restaurants that "used to be good" that people continue to default to, but I would recommend trying some of the newer ones, which have really defaulted to prioritizing incredible vibes and atmosphere. I'm too old to want to go to clubs, but sometimes the right dinner spot can feel like one and scratch that itch.

I do both RTR and Nuuly, for different reasons. RTR has more fashion-y clothes, and I can usually find fun options for events I have on my calendar. Nuuly is more casual and I usually get sundresses, skirts, activewear and generally just super casual everyday clothes. I have a pretty strong need for both for my life, and the combined monthly costs for both is still cheaper than the retail price on just one of the items I rent from RTR, so the girl math is mathing for me. I also like that if you love an item on either platform, you can buy it for less than retail. I do run into periods here and there when I am not in love with the options that are available when I am ready to rent, but I eventually find enough stuff to fill my shipment!

To echo the other response here, you don't. You can't have it all, all at one time. Outsourcing what you can to the point that it aligns with your finances is the first step. Especially the mindless stuff that doesn't require you to be the one to do it. Laundry, cleaning, etc can be done by anyone, so really try and pull back hours of your life there, if you can. Being ruthless with your time is another way to chip away at "all" you have to do. That means that you can't say yes to everything because one yes is a no to something else, because doing it "all" is impossible. This is a larger step I personally took, but I changed how I work and launched my own consultancy so I didn't have to be online 8=10 hours a day, be in an office, or travel extensively for work. This gave me my life back when I need it most, during these really demanding years for my family. There's a lot of "letting go" of what doesn't matter attached to the idea of 'doing it all,' and I think most moms need to have that convo with themselves on what they value and prioritize semi-often so they stay sane and true to themselves!

My easy peasy go-to meal is made in the crock pot. Place Chicken breasts with half a packet of taco seasoning and half a packet of ranch powder seasoning on top, with chicken broth around the base. Cook on low for 5-7 hours, shred and serve! My kids love eating just the chicken, and after a day or two, if there is still leftover chicken, put the meat inside tortillas and add sauce to make enchiladas! Easy 2-in-1 meal planning with very little effort.

I WFH and I immediately come home after school drop off and work out in my home gym from 7:45-8:30/9 or take a 3 mile walk with my dog and then start working. This is my routine, I rarely deviate. The discipline and routine aspect has helped me immensely. I look so much better, I feel a sense of accomplishment, and that discipline carries over into my workday. I am going to try to start working out before the kids get up (5:30-6:15) and see if I can do it, since I am entering a season where I need more work hours in my day.

I love the SunBum kid's face stick in the yellow packaging.
