My friend and I were shopping for Easter dresses for our daughters this last week when a thought occurred to me. Why do they make such cute dresses but then forget what those of us who live in Colorado know – that the weather swings wildly requiring a shrug or sweater? I don’t believe we [...]
Saturday. Hop over to the Children’s Museum of Denver for the “Bunny Trail EggVenture,” a celebration of all things spring. The indoor/outdoor festival is a full day of fun, including train rides, egg dyeing and, of course, a visit from the Big Bunny himself. Kids can also check out animals provided by the Urban Farm, [...]
Easter always breaks the bank for me.
I have an iron-clad budget for Christmas but Easter is more surreptitious — from its tempting Cadbury Crème Eggs to those irresistible pastel baskets and bunnies, a breath of fresh air after winter’s doldrums.
My family’s tradition has been to attend the community’s annual Easter egg hunt. We enjoy the [...]
Child sexual abusers count on your silence and discomfort, so if we’re going to prevent child sexual abuse, we must shatter this silence by learning the facts and empowering our children. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, so I sat down with Feather Berkower, co-author of Off Limits: A Parent’s Guide to Keeping Kids Safe [...]
Jackie Cuin stood outside her daughter’s house, too frightened to walk through the door.

We [...]

The Colorado segment of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s national monitoring project found 1 in 85 Arapahoe County [...]
Depending on who you speak to, your kiddo could have Autism, not Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, a “leaky gut,” an inability to process external toxins, too high levels of metals in his system, unable to hear properly or allergies. These are all the things I’ve heard from the variety of professionals I’ve spoken to since Z’s [...]
Under the Christmas tree last year was a set of The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, a gift to my son. Having heard for months how great the books were, I decided to get the set so we could all read up before the movie release.
My 11-year-old, my husband and I were hooked from page [...]
Because I have eight kids, our calendar is full of red-letter days. Little squares hail their birthdays nearly year-round. With so many kids, it’s easy and natural for me to consider the best time of year to bring a new baby home. When is the best season to have a baby?
Summer
I’ll start with summer because [...]
