February 7, 2012 – 7:00 am | 7 Comments

There’s a zoo at The Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
But it’s not lunchtime in the atrium or the parking lot on a free day. 60 creepy, slithery, and totally fascinating creatures have been collected into one fun-filled new exhibit called Lizards and Snakes. Recently, our family spent an evening getting to know the critters [...]

You say idiosyncrazy, I say idiosyncrasy
December 20, 2007 – 12:00 am | No Comment

“You look crazy.” People used to say that a lot in my family. I think they feared appearing crazy almost as much as they feared appearing poor. When I was a kid, I had this habit of saying the alphabet over and over and over and over… via sign language. In retrospect, it was obviously [...]

Confessions of a 24-year-old virgin
December 19, 2007 – 12:48 am | 18 Comments

My older sisters were full of advice about sex. Some helpful, some practical, and some was just to test my gullibility. They had gone through it before and wanted to help make my transition from vestal virgin to sex kitten a smooth one, as well as get a few laughs in for themselves.
Their [...]

Even though I’ve got a holiday to-do list a mile long…plus work that continues to pile up…not to mention a desperate need to vacuum and mop…I’m going to treat myself this week.
No, not a facial or a massage or even a haircut (although that wouldn’t be a bad idea). I’m going to see the [...]

MakeBeliever Makes a Believer Out of Me (Plus Giveaways)
December 17, 2007 – 12:00 am | No Comment

I have discovered what is perhaps the most innovative, brilliant and gloriously manipulative Santa tool EVER.
Let’s face it – those mall Santas are clueless with their fake beard and padded stomach. They don’t know who your child is or care what they want for Christmas.
Enter MakeBeliever.com.
It is a highly personalized Flash video [...]

The (Mostly) Green Girly Gift Guide
December 15, 2007 – 12:45 am | 7 Comments

A few weeks ago I posted my holiday toy gift guide for kids, but now is the time to start thinking about yourself and all of the women (friends, aunts, grandmothers, mothers, sisters) on your list, because let’s face it, we women deserve some great gifts too!
In keeping with the crunchy [...]

A Celebration of Light
December 14, 2007 – 12:45 am | No Comment

For parents, holidays provide one teachable moment after another, and by New Year’s, most of us are tired of learning experiences almost as much as turkey.
Like most, my children are captivated by Christmas lights. They marvel at dazzling colors and illuminated figures adorning our neighbors’ front yards. The holidays truly are for kids; only a [...]
