CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNER LISA WEBER!
As Denver’s largest Halloween event, Elitch Gardens’ Fright Fest is both family-friendly by day and terrifying at night.
October 1-31, Elitch Gardens transforms from theme park to “scream” park. New this year are haunted residences that are unlikely to appear on
Denver’s Parade of Homes.

Last year, I wrote about the kindergarten dilemma. Mainly, whether I should enroll my son on time or hold him back a year so he would be one of the oldest vs. youngest in class. It was one of our most highly-debated posts ever.
In the end, I enrolled him.
I have not regretted my decision. [...]

I’ve always been a big fan of Target so when a Super Target was built 2 minutes from our house, my husband braced himself for the repercussions.
My bank account will confirm there were many.
But my Target spending is being put to good use. The corporation donates five percent of its income (that’s more than [...]

Sorry, apples and oranges. It’s nothing personal.
That’s why Door-to-Door Organics produce is such a great choice. This [...]

To say I like the Lion King is a bit of an understatement: It is my favorite all-time Disney movie.
Unfortunately, my only copy of the movie bit the dust years ago (along with my VCR) so my kids have never seen it. That’s why I was thrilled to learn The Lion King 3D will be [...]

Two years ago, my daughter Hadley and our family were delighted to walk the parade route of the Arvada Harvest Festival with Arvada West High School’s cheerleaders. She was one of many kindergarteners from six elementary schools that feed into the high school who took part in this local tradition.
We looked forward to doing [...]
