Things To Do

I love being a tourist in my own town. I’ve been wanting to take my kids to see Cirque Le Noir at the Eldorado for weeks now. When the invitation came from the Eldorado for us to go see it, I jumped at the chance. We started off our night …

It’s barely summer in Northern Nevada and I’m already anxious thinking about more cheese ball and Otter Pop covered fingers destroying, err… exploring, the messy depths of my house. My current laundry situation is overwhelming at best and I find that just closing the door to the chaos that is …

The Starcatcher is an adventurous tale of good versus evil. It has heroes, villains, and it tells the backstory for the characters of Peter Pan. Part comedy, part drama, part musical, the kiddos will love it. The story is based the children’s novel, Peter and The Starcatchers, by Dave Barry …

Summer is road-trip season, and the state’s tourism agency, TravelNevada, has put together six routes in Nevada to help Nevadans get to know their own state.  Did you know: The nationwide average for in-state travel (meaning residents traveling within their state) is roughly 51 percent.

This Mother’s Day weekend, take your family on the ultimate outdoor adventure in the heart of downtown Reno. Grab your bikes and follow a live mobile band while you tour the streets of downtown. Fly high above the record rapids of the Truckee River on the Zip Line. Watch world-renowned …

We all know mama’s need help with, well, everything from dinner and laundry to dishes and homework and so much in between. That’s why I thought the Reno Moms would be interested in a new program from the Nevada Women, Infants and Children that has been launched here in Reno …

My 7-year-old daughter loves art. She’s very good at it and art has always been something that she enjoys. On the other hand, I get hives just thinking about doing anything artistic or creative. I just don’t have it in me. I’m not good at it and the mess that …
