Mama Drama: Potty Training On The Go
September 3, 2010 – 7:00 am | No Comment

Dear Mama Drama:
My two year old is potty training and has moved into wearing “big girl panties.” I am freaked out about taking her out of the house because I’m afraid she’ll have an accident and will become too discouraged. How can I take her out and help her to be successful?
~ Stuck in the [...]

CSI: Suburban Denver
November 30, 2007 – 12:00 am | 4 Comments

My son Ryley approached me one recent evening as I reclined on the couch. The look on his face told me he had Big News: “Mom, I have something very important to tell you.”
Okay.
“There is a mountain lion at school.”
“There is? How do you know?” I was taken aback, expecting his important news [...]

Another One Bites the Dust

Kyra, my two-year-old, recently attended a day care where you were considered an over-the-hill parent at 25, where everyone (disabled or not) parked in the disabled parking spaces, left their Hummers humming, and allowed rappers named after pocket change to cascade freely through their open windows. Sure, it wasn’t ideal, but we probably could have [...]

Desperately Seeking Presents That Won’t Be Recalled in 6 Months… and Some Holiday Spirit
November 27, 2007 – 12:45 am | 18 Comments

Anyone else sick of sorting through the bin and taking toys away from their children because of safety concerns? My favorite was the Aqua Dots fiasco, where the little pellets were filled with the date rape drug GHB. How does a DATE RAPE drug get into our toys? I mean, a Stoli martini maybe… but [...]

Black Friday’s “Blowout”
November 26, 2007 – 12:00 am | 21 Comments

I am unsure how Black Friday even got started. It was probably some raging psychopath who thought it would be fun to use bargain hunters and desperate toy-seeking parents as puppets. Plan a shopping spree in the middle of the night after people have devoured inordinate amounts of sleep-inducing hormones from their turkey? Sounds [...]

Let the Games Giving Begin!

The turkey and pumpkin pies have been successfully devoured. We now turn our attentions (and stomachs) to the glories of eggnog, gingerbread and even more gluttony as the weight-loss centers devise their New Year’s repentance campaigns.
Here at Mile High Mamas, we are givers. And takers.
We have some fantastic giveaways lined up [...]
