What do you call a household with two sets of twins under the age of five? Twinfinite Chaos, of course. Join us for our interview with our Mama Blogger of the Month who is a sleep-walking mama of five!
Tell us about your “Twinfinite Chaos” clan.
Well, we’re a family of seven, which is just crazy to me. Even though they’re all mine, I still find it hard to believe there are five kids under this roof! My oldest, Kayley, is 13. We have boy/girl twins, Pablo and Mallory, who will turn 5 next month. We also have fraternal girl twins, Lexi and Nikki, who are 3 1/2. My husband Paul is a civil engineer and I’m a stay-at-home mommy.
How do you best handle all the chaos?
The key to keeping a lid on the chaos, at least in our house, is having a specific routine and schedule in place. We literally have a laminated schedule on the kitchen wall Read on …
In honor of Father’s Day, we are featuring one of the few daddy bloggers from our blogroll: Kurt of Jolly Green Dad. Join us as we gain some fascinating insights into the life of a stay-at-home dad of two.
How does a Cornell University grad end up as a SAHD/WAHD? Do you miss the workforce?
Well I ended up as a SAHD completely by accident. I wish I could say that my wife and I had a master plan for our recent life changes, but it didn’t quite happen like that. I was the last person in the world that I would ever imagine being at home. As a former Army Officer, and operations/financial manager for a Fortune 500 company, I would have been what many considered to be career driven.
That is until I had my “I have had enough!!!” moment a couple of months ago. I got to the point where I really hated the work environment I was in, was tired and grouchy all the time, and absolutely was not enjoying the corporate environment at all with the “Bottom line or else” mentality. I decided I had to make an exit strategy. Read on …

Every month, Mile High Mamas features a different mom on our blogroll (Colorado’s most comprehensive listing of mommy bloggers). Our Mama Blogger of the Month is the lovely Liz from What Happens in Stapleton Stays in Stapleton. Through her fun, informative blog, she has also created an important resource for her community and we encourage other mamas to do the same!
Tell us about your family and how you ended up in Stapleton.
I’m a stay-at-home mom to a 2 year old, Jack, and a black lab, Maggie. (If you have a kid under 5 and either a black lab or a golden retriever, Stapleton is the neighborhood for you). We lived in a loft downtown when my son was born, and after a few months realized loft living and babies weren’t the best match. My husband was ready to move to a big house in the suburbs, but I was resistant. Stapleton seemed like the perfect compromise. Read on …
Meet Jamie of Horoscopically Blonde, our Mama Blogger of the Month! Jamie is a side-splittingly funny gal who is the blog diva of YourHub.com. Join us for our hilarious interview with this verbose mama!
First things first: why are you Horoscopically Blonde and not just dumb like the rest of us?
I’m the only person I know who parks in front of my house, catches a glimpse of my vehicle from the corner of my eye (probably while I’m looking at something shiny), and then says, “Oh! I wonder who’s here?” followed by—and more importantly, “Darn it! They’re blocking my mailbox.”
Tell us about the Horoscopically Blonde family. Are there any fake (blondes) in the mix?
The Horoscopically Blonde family consists of four children, an adorable husband, a cat that strategically vomits on my things, and an insane, evil dog that barks at the big, red yoga ball while breaking wind. Only the dog is blonde. Read on …
Our Mama Blogger of the Month does not blog in her native language, has lived in more countries with her family than most people have visited in their lifetime and currently runs a popular online store for children. Meet Katja of Skimbaco, our Mama Blogger of the Month!
1) How did you and your husband meet? Is he Finnish as well?
My husband and I met in Frankfurt, Germany, over ten years ago. Matt is from Austin, Texas and he was in the military and stationed in Germany for six months. I was an engineering student, and taking a year off my college in Finland, and studying German in Frankfurt. We dated only for one month in Germany, and I came to the United States a few months after Matt left Germany. It was like in the movies - farewells at the railway stations and international airports, and we finally got married in Alabama after 10 months since we had met. We got married on Matt’s lunch break from the flight school - I had a white dress, everybody else had the pilot’s green uniform, like in Top Gun. Read on …
Each month, Mile High Mamas will feature a different mama blogger from our blogroll (our listing of Colorado’s hottest mom blogs). We have chosen Amy from Crunchy Domestic Goddess for our latest spotlight. Amy is a fascinating mama who is a firm believer in green living and natural birthing.

1) What is the history behind the name of your blog “Crunchy Domestic Goddess?”
I began my blog rather on a whim, excited after receiving a positive response to my first letter as an activist. I wanted a blog title that I felt defined me as a rather new stay-at-home-mom AKA “domestic goddess.” Since I was the most environmentally-conscious of my then-friends, I felt the moniker “crunchy” (AKA granola) was a good choice. My blog started out as “Musings of a crunchy domestic goddess,” but after a while I dropped the first part to make it a bit more compact. Read on …
Each month, Mile High Mamas will feature a different mama blogger from our blogroll (our listing of Colorado’s hottest mom blogs). We have chosen hilarious Sarah from Imaginary Binky for our first spotlight. Not only is she juggling a baby and a comedian husband but she also set the insane goal to blog every single day in 2008. Let’s check in to see how she is doing….

1) Where on earth did you come up with the blog name “Imaginary Binky?”
My son Amos is a great sleeper. I’m jealous of how well that boy can sleep. When he’s slumbering, off and on his mouth will move as if he is sucking on an imaginary nipple or binky, which I suppose is a comforting thing for him. I look at my writing and my blog as a comforting thing for me, so Imaginary Binky is my own pacifier to calm the savage beast. I liked the name so much that I came up with the tag line: “Imaginary Binky – Suck on This.” It’s sassy and saucy, just the way I like it. Read on …
