The Kid Blender:  A Single Mom’s Attempt to Find Joy in an Unexpected Life
February 8, 2012 – 8:00 am | 2 Comments

In this series of blogs, the “Kid Blenders,” I will be addressing our challenges, trying to blend our two families together. The names of the children will be changed to spare the easily embarrassed. And let me be upfront about this: I’m no clinical expert. I’m just a single mom trying to figure life out as I go. But knowing that there are around 14 million single parents out there…I’m guessing that I’m not alone in this venture.

National Western Stock Show Tickets Giveaway

Submitted by on January 6, 2008 – 12:09 amNo Comment

Congratulations to Sara Lily, winner of our Proctor and Gamble giveaway!

I have never been to the National Western Stock Show due to The Plague that consumes me every January. But this year will be different. Not only am I plague-free but little did I know my reoccurring illness has left me bereft of a slew of fantastic activities for children.

And cowboys in chaps for the mamas.

The entire third floor of the Expo Hall at the National Western Complex is dedicated to entertaining and educating children. The area also features rabbit and poultry displays, as well as Feed the Animals displays, which offer visitors the opportunity to feed baby animals at specific times during the day.

Also located on the third floor, Children’s Ranchland offers numerous interactive displays of animals and agricultural facts to bring a balanced agricultural message to the participants.

The Stock Show’s Activity Pavilion features puppy parenting seminars, Dancing with Dogs demonstrations, stick horse rodeos, kid’s tractor pulls and much more. The area is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for children’s activities throughout the run of the show. Be sure to check their website for the most up-to-date Activity Pavilion schedules.

We will be offering a family four-pack of tickets for the rodeo on Saturday, January 19th at 11 a.m. Please email us at giveaways@milehighmamas.com by Wednesday at 10 a.m. Also, make sure to include the word rodeo in the subject line (or chaps if you really want to get in good….)
