February 7, 2012 – 7:00 am | 7 Comments

There’s a zoo at The Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
But it’s not lunchtime in the atrium or the parking lot on a free day. 60 creepy, slithery, and totally fascinating creatures have been collected into one fun-filled new exhibit called Lizards and Snakes. Recently, our family spent an evening getting to know the critters [...]

Why Mile High Mamas’ Night Out With Dove Was “The Pits”

There are different kinds of female bonding: In restaurant bathrooms. Watching chick flicks. Sipping freshly squeezed lemonade at the spa.
But Mile High Mamas’ bloggers experienced a different kind of bonding last week: over armpits.
To help women prep our underarms for the big reveal this summer, Dove® Deodorant has partnered with Beverly Hills Board Certified Dermatologist [...]

When Is It OK To Edit? Even When You Are Editing Yourself?

Last week, I had a post on my personal blog that described a very emotional struggle we all go through as parents – I went too far in an argument with my son. I felt really vulnerable, but everyone was super supportive. Monday, I wrote a more snarky post about a mom who expected ticketed [...]

Mama’s Night Out with Water2Wine and the Red Cross (Plus a Discount)

On Thursday, Mile High Mamas congregated at Water2Wine–”The Ultimate Wine Experience.”
Not familiar with the concept? Think “Build-a-Bear” for grown-ups. But without the stuffing.
Located in Centennial, this winery is an actual wine-making operation. The process is simple: choose your grapes (brought in from the finest vineyards from all over the world), process them, let them age [...]

Observations of a control freak

Observations of a control freak

Anyone who blogs or writes is probably a control freak. We write to bring order to chaos. To understand the mystifying. To get people to do something, even just to agree or disagree.
As any of the three people who live with me will attest, I fit nicely into the CF category.

Clicking with Chicks at ChicksWhoClick

I recently entered a contest from MileHighMamas to attend the ChicksWhoClicks 2010 (#cwc10) conference. I never thought I’d win, even though I really wanted to go. A place where women learn about the Power of You? Heck yeah! So, I entered. And believe it or not, I won.
I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would this [...]

Every other month, Mile High Mamas throws a Mama’s Night Out to bring Colorado’s social media moms together to collaborate and connect.

On Tuesday evening, the Sephora in Boulder hosted a pamper party wherein I experienced an unprecedented transformation. (Spoiler alert: some women equated my metamorphosis to that of Clark Kent.)
