February 9, 2012 – 7:00 am | No Comment

Plus Size Birth is my new labor of love following a beautiful pregnancy and birthing experience. First came a love for my husband in 1999, then our marriage in July 2008, and most recently six months “trying” for that baby in the baby carriage. We had decided the month we conceived to stop [...]

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.”

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 [...]

Win Tickets to Mary Poppins!

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) always does a fabulous job booking shows. But I have to admit; this year is off to a killer start, the best by far. I had just seen Legally Blonde a month or so ago. It was sensational. About two weeks after the show, I got an [...]

The Art of Growing…and Murdering Butterflies

My daughter Hadley’s butterfly obsession began last summer when my parents bought her a butterfly net and book.
She was not quick enough to capture even one.
That’s why I wasn’t too surprised when she announced she wanted a butterfly kit for Christmas. It seemed like a brilliant strategy: if you can’t catch ‘em, why not grow [...]

Product Review:  Hooked on Phonics®  Learn to Read Program – Win a FREE copy!

“What does this say, Momma?”
“What does that say?”
These are questions I get constantly, every day from my four year old. She’s been asking these questions for years.
She comes by this honestly. I have a very vivid memory from before I went to Kindergarten of looking at a piece of paper on the kitchen [...]

An Adventure in Every Bucket – Win a Bucket of Treasure Dough!

My 4-year old daughter loves playing with play-dough (homemade versions and the official store-bought brand of similar spelling). She loves making doughy objects, serving me food items, and creating her own creatures. She even loves mixing the colors together. Try as I might, this still makes me twitch…but that’s not what this [...]

Mama’s Night Out at Sephora Redefines a “GHD” (Good Hair Day)

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

But first [...]
