Dear Mama Drama:
I have three daughters ages 13, 11, and 8. They are all avid readers and generally read well above their age level. My eight year old wants to read whatever her sisters are reading, but as they get into their teens I am not always comfortable with the content.
When there is sexual content [...]
I will be appearing on FOX 31 today (Friday, June 18th) at approximately 9:30 a.m. to tout the following must-have items for the summer season!
1). Sport-Brella
At the park, beach, pool or campsite, the SKLZ Sport-Brella gives you instant protection from the sun, rain, and wind with its domed shape, side flaps and 125 SPF. Its [...]

I heard this familiar tune the very first day of summer vacation.
How are you going to keep them busy for more than two months? How will you keep their mind active, engaged and learning? With science activities of course!

Saturday-Sunday. Head to the heart of the high country for Breckinridge Kingdom Days. The two-day festival is a salute to Breckenridge’s history, complete with historic mine tours, staged gun fights, hikes, blacksmithing demonstrations and more.

Does anyone have a Dad who says the same things over and over?
I do. So about 20 years ago for my Dad’s birthday, my sisters and I put together an ENTIRE BOOK of his repeatisms. I will spare you the insider ones such as “I always carry a garlic shaker” and leave you [...]
I’ll admit it: When KEEN Footwear contacted me about doing a product review, I jumped for joy. It’s not very often I am asked to review a product I am already passionate about. The reason? If there is a line of shoes that perfectly fits Colorado families on the go, KEEN Footwear is it.
