Family and Life in Las Vegas Holiday Gift Guide


Welcome to Family and Life in Las Vegas’s 1st Holiday Gift Guide. Before I begin sharing all my holiday finds for you and yours, I want to say a few things. You are going find that a lot of my gift guide includes a lot from my fabulous sponsors. When I first made the choice to start blogging publically I sat down and thought a lot about where I wanted to take my blog. I knew I loved to write, and I really wanted to write what I love. I have held that as my personal guideline for my blog in all my writings, reviews, giveaways, and even in considering sponsors. I truly love what these companies have to offer. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.
