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 [...]

Help This Denver Mom Win Her Own Olympic Bid!

Help This Denver Mom Win Her Own Olympic Bid!

I am notoriously unlucky.
I once went to France for a wedding, got lost en route and missed the entire celebration. The only contest I have ever won was the infamous Fred Seymour Elementary School Cakewalk.
And even then, I knocked my biggest competition out of the way when no one was looking.
That is why the news [...]

It’s a Party–Celebrating the Evolution of Mom Blogs!

October marks my official 4-year anniversary in the blogosphere. On a whim, I started my personal blog Crazy Bloggin’ Canuck on MSN Spaces in October 2005. None of my friends of family understood what it was.
“A blob? Why would you want to start a blob?”
Or “don’t you think it’s a bit narcissistic to think [...]

What Does the FTC’s New Ruling Mean for Bloggers?

Guest blogger Michelle from Scribbit weighs in regarding the FTC “sticking its nose into the blogosphere.” Tune as her in-house counsel a.k.a. husband summarizes the 81-page document.
========================
Michelle and I were watching TV the other night and saw a commercial for one of the hundreds of CSI wanna-be shows. This one was about a blogger who [...]

Are You Ready To Become A Social Media “Expert?!”

When I started my blog four years ago, I didn’t even know what the term “social media” meant. I just wanted a place to tuck away memories of my son as he seemed to be changing right in front of my eyes, every single day. It has slowly evolved to much more than that, but [...]

BlogHer ’09: The (sometimes) love-hate relationship between mommy bloggers and marketers

Last week I attended BlogHer in Chicago, a veritable cornucopia of 1,400 of the most powerful women bloggers in the world. Technology, mommy, food, travel and craft bloggers were just a few of the many tribes at this social media pow-wow. BlogHer even carved out a small niche by giving the “vaginally challenged” their own [...]

Say it to my face…book?

I consider myself to be rather in-touch with what’s going on around me. I have over 400 “friends” on my personal Facebook Account. I have a bunch of people that I email, instant message/chat, text, or call on a regular basis. I try to stay on top of what’s going on with [...]

Join Us For the BowlHer Denver Broadcast Party!

I bet you are getting sick of seeing the word Blog and Her put together right about now, right? Especially if you are not packing and planning for Chicago at this very moment?
Me too.
I decided not to go to BlogHer* for a myriad of reasons this year, not the least of which being the fact [...]
