Slow Food chapters in Denver, Boulder and other Colorado towns will host community potlucks Monday to promote passage of a Child Nutrition Act demanding healthy, nutritious foods in schools. The “Eat In” is part of Slow Food’s national day of action urging change in school lunch programs, including more funding, better quality food and nutritional [...]

I chose my family’s final Tour de Colorado destination carefully. We had spent the summer visiting the very best that Colorado has to offer and I wanted to go out with a bang.
Rest assured we had a bang-up vacation at Beaver Creek, my choice for best front-range destination for families. Competition in this category is [...]

In honor of Cirque du Soleil’s Denver presentation of Kooza, I thought a little circus fun, of the Cirque kind, was in order.  (Don’t get me started on the other kind of circus — I’m not much of a fan.)
But, I LOVE Cirque – the costumes, the music, the athleticism and the hilarious clowns.  I [...]

I cleaned out my purse again. The usual suspects where there…some things that I was expecting, and a few “Ah-Ha! That’s where that is!” occurred. But one thing I was not expecting was a slight damp feeling in the bottom of my summer shoulder accessory.

I hemmed and hawed over whether it was a good idea. We wanted to go to Ireland, sure, but Declan – at age 6.5 – was he really ready? At least, was he ready for the kind of trip *I* wanted to take, with museums and castles and history and all that crap? I’d been [...]
