September 3, 2010 – 7:00 am | No Comment

Dear Mama Drama:
My two year old is potty training and has moved into wearing “big girl panties.” I am freaked out about taking her out of the house because I’m afraid she’ll have an accident and will become too discouraged. How can I take her out and help her to be successful?

Lunch With The First Lady of Panama, to Benefit Project C.U.R.E.

I often say blogging brings me interesting experiences. In truth, those experiences are also often uplifting and emotional too. That can be said for the luncheon I attended in Denver last week, where our Colorado First Lady Jeannie Ritter welcomed Marta Martinelli, the First Lady of Panama, to discuss disparities in healthcare around the world.

Changing of the Guard

I turned 40 last month. I refuse to consider myself middle-aged, but seeing as my mom turns 70 this year and I have a 7 year old son – I suppose you can think of me as middle-ish.
What’s weird about being in the middle is you start having a parental role for not only your [...]

Techy Nerdy Geeky Update from SXSW

If you have been following my tweets, you know I ran around Austin for SXSW Interactive last week.

Born Free

Last summer we joined a community rec center. Mainly for the pool, but also to have access to the work out equipment. We wanted to get back in shape, play in the pool with Declan’s neighborhood friends, etc. To date, it’s been mostly the playing in the pool variety, but that’s neither here nor there.
