Wow! We have a lot of things to celebrate this week. Thursday is Cinco De Mayo and Sunday is Mother’s Day!  I hope you are not only waiting for your kids (or husband) to plan all the happenings for Mother’s Day.  There is a lot you can plan on your own.  I am personally hoping for a nice day where I can sit outside and enjoy the Colorado sunshine.  I might just take in one of the coolest shows I’ve run across, Traces (now playing at the Denver Center) – it’s only here for two more weeks!  Find out how you can win tickets to see the show!

Cinco De Mayo Festival

Cinco de Mayo “Celebrate Culture” Festival boasts three stages of entertainment featuring Latino music and dance. See Mexican folk art and handcrafted goods and let the kids play at the Children’s Carnival, with hands-on activities, fuzzy animals and rides kids will love.  Food is a big part of Cinco de Mayo including tacos, enchiladas, burritos and more of the best Colorado Mexican cuisine and the annual Green Chili Bowl Cook-Off.

Consignment Store Event

For weeks, I wrote about all the great consignment sales for kids (I hope you were able to stock up) but now, I invite you to a very special night at a great new consignment store for us (moms)!  This Thursday, May 5th join Hip Consignment for a Hip Happy Hour at Hip Consignment located at 1468 Pearl Street in Boulder.  They have high end designer clothes and accessories.  Plus, one attendee to the event will be awarded $50 in free clothes and a make-over!

Shakeology

I read Oprah Magazine every month.  I was excited to see an entire write up in this month’s issue all about Shakeology.  The meal-replacement shake that is so yummy you would want more than one.  It’s got all kinds of vitamins and helps boost your energy too!  The Chocolate flavor is my personal fave.  Plus, it’s all natural.  If you are interested in trying it visit shakeology.com/gretcheny or zip me a quick email.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Festival

What could be better for Mother’s Day than a Chocolate Festival?  Admission to the event at the Merchandise Mart is FREE.  (taste tickets cost – $10 for 10 tastings or $20 for 20 tastings).

Denver Art Museum

The Denver Art Museum has everything you need to celebrate Mom’s day in style.  Get a mom a free ticket (general admission) when  you purchase another adult ticket, get a free mug at the museum shop and free sparkling wine or tiramisu at Palettes with purchase of brunch.
