Yes, it’s March in Colorado, which means we’re in the midst of what is typically our snowiest month of the year. But, because it’s Colorado, it may be in the 60s and Sunny! Or not! Either way, I keep thinking back to our trip to Hawaii in October and dreaming a little. [...]
What is Letterboxing? Amber wrote a post about this last year, but I thought I’d add a little update of our own. Honestly, before Amber’s post, I’d never heard of it. I thought maybe it was a craft idea or a new exercise routine.
Well, it’s not!
Oddly enough, being “crafty” helps, and you do [...]
Next week, I get to register Claire for Kindergarten! It’s hard to believe, but districts all over the Denver Metro Area are holding their Kindergarten Registrations in January!

So, next week, I’ll be standing in line at our neighborhood school…whether or not I want her to go there. If I was [...]
There. I said it. I don’t like holiday decorations. Bah Humbug! Not only that, I’ll take it a step further. I can’t stand holiday decorations. Would “hate” be too strong a word? I’m probably not going to make very many friends with this post today, but today’s post is about confessions, [...]
It’s really not my fault, even though it does seem hypocritical of me. I mean, how can someone who grumbles about the “Happy Hallow-thanks-ismas” season that morphs and spreads through all the retail stores as soon as they take down the Back To School signs be done with her Holiday Letters?

DIY technically means Do It Yourself, but we have other definitions:
D: Dirty, Disgusting, Design, Discoveries
I: Irritating, Impatience, Ingenuity, Inspiration
Y: Yelling.
Yes, our version of DIY pretty much always ends in Yelling.
(This photo was taken in the midst of one of our bathroom remodeling projects.)
The quality and clarity of swear words included in the Yelling phase have [...]
As they say, “The only constant is change,” and this summer has been evidence of that. In fact, as you may or may not realize, the last days of July signified my last days as assistant editor here at Mile High Mamas!

I have a confession to make: I knew I was going to have a great time in NYC for BlogHer10 before I even got there. Yes, it’s true. I’d decided before I even had my bags packed.
You can do that?
Yes, you can, and I do it before every trip I take.
Warmer weather is here! As the sun lingers in the sky longer before settling behind the mountains, how should we fill the time? What activities are sure to be a hit?
Well, with the help of our readers (yes, that’s you!) Mile High Mamas has compiled a list of fun warm weather activities in [...]
In two weeks, I get to have an adventure like none other. I get to go to NYC alone. …well, alone with 2,400 of my fellow bloggers.
Yes, it’s time for the BlogHer Conference!
This will be my first BlogHer Conference, and I can’t wait!
Years ago, before I had a child, I was part of [...]
