Item 1 on the agenda: Planning ahead for next weekend. You may have read guest-blogger Heather’s post this week here on Mile High Mamas. You can read more about Heather and Sam here. Go ahead, we’ll wait.
Are you back? Great! Now, go here. Donate, cheer Heather on, do whatever you can do. Riding 157 [...]

My 6 year old daughter has started to take notice of her mom and dad working on their laptops, which leads her to wanting to learn more about computers. She likes to get online, and lately she has become a bit more adventurous on the computer. That concerns me a bit. Therefore, I like to [...]

A mad-mom entry from two summers ago.
So the sane me is sitting at my kitchen table, keeping an eye on the kids in the backyard while I work at the laptop. I am making over an adoption profile for a couple who has been passed over by expectant parents several times over the last 7 [...]

Our television recently died.
Well, six weeks, four days and 12 hours ago if you’re counting (which is what I thought my husband would do).

Ding dong.
It was mid-afternoon on a weekday and I had no idea who could be at the front door. There was no yummy rumble of a certain big brown truck. You love that sound too, admit it.
Luckily, our door has etched glass panels. I could discern the ringer of the bell was someone [...]

Steamboat Springs was the third stop on my family’s Tour de Colorado and my pick for the state’s best mountain community. Our visit to this western resort town was also The Good, the Bad and the Ugly incarnate. When it was good (such as when my daughter Hadley won the ram scramble at the rodeo) [...]
