What’s better than an impromptu Dance Party in the Living Room? Not much when preschoolers are involved! I decided to listen to a CD when we had some friends over for a playdate, and this is just what happened! And, I dare say it’s practically impossible to not dance around when listening [...]

It’s mid-June, and if you’ve lived in Colorado for any length of time, you know what this means: It’s time for the Renaissance Festival!
Yes, our favorite lads and lasses are back, weekends through August 2nd, to regale us with arts and crafts from Medieval times, not to mention food, beverages, demonstrations and entertainment. Jousting, [...]

Every time I get together with friends, it ends up being a photo shoot. Case in point: a simple jaunt to the pool for the first “real” day of summer that turns into 300 photos that I whittle down to 30 faves… [Speaking of. What's up, June? Where is the sun, anyways?!?]

I saw a woman holding a baby on her lap. The baby had strawberry blonde hair and appeared to be around ten months old. I watched them happily interact. A man sat to the left of them.

I don’t know about you but hot summer days make me sluggish.
That’s why Ozone Aware’s Pledge to Chill works perfectly for me. Their “non-movement” encourages people to pledge to do less on hot summer days.
We announced on Mile High Mamas last week that Ozone Aware was giving away 300 hundred free Denver Zoo passes [...]

After the dreary weather earlier this week, it looks like the weekend is going to be much more agreeable. Perfect weather for one of those outdoor concerts, a little shopping, some First Friday action.
Saturday is National Trails Day. Look for events in Arvada, Aurora, and in Morrison at Triceratops Trail (one of our [...]
