Survived the 4-city travel blitz with a smile

May 28, 2025 by Vanessa Young in The Life

Okay, shoutout to Providence, Rhode Island. What an adorably cute and friendly city. I went for like a day and a half for a work retreat, got to meet my co-workers in person and explore an area I’d strongly consider living in one day.

Then I had to make my way to Ohio for a wedding celebration and squeeze in some much-needed family and friend time. I’m always grateful to my mom for being on board to help us whenever we travel with the kid. I miss the East Coast/Midwest a lot. I say this every time we go back though.

Every Mother's Day gets sweeter each year

May 22, 2025 by Vanessa Young in The Life

All I wanted was a pool day and my favorite dinner for Mother’s Day this year and my husband delivered.

It’s unreal that this was my THIRD Mother’s Day. One day, it’ll feel normal but I’m still in complete awe at motherhood. My kid mimics everything I do, which has me editing, in real time, what I do and say.

She’s changing me into a kinder, patient, more thoughtful person. Couldn’t have asked for a better daughter.

Obodo Urban Farm and an impromptu baseball game

You really have to make an effort to be bored in Las Vegas. There’s always something random to do, something new to check out, somewhere new to eat, etc. We ended up at Obodo Urban Farm and a Las Vegas Aviators game because it was Blippi night! If you don’t know who that is, consider yourself blessed.

If only every Saturday was this chill

Spring is so pleasant in Vegas, when it’s not skyrocketing to 90 degrees.

CinemaCon 2025, a Delight from Start to Finish

Another year down at CinemaCon and I couldn’t have enjoyed myself more. I loved all the cool clips and peeks we got, but more importantly, loved getting to bond with my people.
