What are your favorite outdoor activities as a family?
April 8, 2008 – 12:40 am | No Comment

Last weekend, we went hiking at Castlewood Canyon. It was one of those beautiful spring days that fools you into thinking that it won’t snow again. It was breezy and sunny, and we had a backpack filled with hot dogs and buns, and the makings for s’mores.
I carried Oliver in the Baby Bjorn [...]

When I recently retrieved my 3-year-old daughter Hadley from preschool, her teacher pulled me aside.
“I need to talk to you about Hadley,” she said in that voice. The same cautionary voice my third-grade teacher used right before she wrote on my report card that I had “verbal diarrhea.”

It is currently my husband Jamie’s basketball season and every year, I dread it. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not one of those overbearing women who doesn’t let her husband do anything fun. It’s just there’s something else factored in there: near-death experiences. You see, when Jamie played in the past, he was almost always [...]

The Rhythm Is Gonna Getcha

No disrespect to my mother, but growing up, we didn’t have much music in the house. Unless you count German oom-pah music, of course. It just was never something that was all that important to her. Still isn’t.
For whatever reason, it was important to me. My first job was working in a record store (granted, [...]
