Make Your Day Brighter By Winning a Windex Care Package!

**CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNER VERONICA WITTE!** A couple of weeks ago, I went “Into the Fire.” Contrary to popular belief, this is referring to a paint-it-yourself pottery studio in Olde Town Arvada and not how I feel every time I do crafts. Though both are correct. Windex invited local mom bloggers to attend this evening out as a part of their multi-city tour that encourages moms to brighten their home and their day. And you know what?

Win a 2-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack of Walt Disney Pictures’ SECRETARIAT ($39.99 value)

**CONTEST CLOSED. THANKS TO WINNER KRYSTAL TUBBS!** I’ll admit that I didn’t know the backstory of Walt Disney Pictures feature film, SECRETARIAT. Spoiler alert if you’re as clueless as I was: The horse kicks some serious tail. On January 25th, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment releases SECRETARIAT on Blu-ray, DVD, & movie download. I felt bereft to miss this feature film when it was in theatres so was thrilled to watch it on DVD with my family last week. Starring Diane Lane and John Malkovich, this movie follows the spectacular journey of an incredible horse named Secretariat and the moving story of his unlikely owner Penny Chenery, a housewife who risked everything to make him a champion. The movie is 123 minutes so I was unsure how my 4-year-old son would rea...

Mommy & Me Ski Class at Echo Mountain (Win it!)

There are Mommy & Me sign language, yoga and swim classes but why should it stop there? At Echo Mountain it keeps going—straight down the mountain in their Parent and Me private ski lessons for 3-year-old skiers and his/her parent. The concept is brilliant and simple: Take a one-hour lesson with your child to prepare them for group instruction by age 4. I learned to ski at a one-lift hill in Canada and there is a special place in my heart for small resorts. In addition to proximity to Denver (just 35 miles away outside of Evergreen), Echo Mountains is also about affordability and offers great ski school packages, terrain parks, and night skiing until 9 p.m. five nights a week. Oh, and the free parking in the small lot and lack of stairs in the lodge were awesome, too. If you’ve ever w...

Win 1 of 2 family 4-packs of tickets to Cirque du Soleil!

**CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNERS LISA MATTOX AND CHARLES SCHINNER!** Two years ago, my husband and I attended our first Cirque du Soleil® performance. Since that time, the bar has been since set so high that no other production has even come close to matching its grandeur. That’s why I was thrilled to hear another Cirque du Soleil® performance is coming to Colorado January 12-30. Alegría is a classic production that has received international acclaim and wowed over 10 million people worldwide since it premiered in 1994 in Montreal. After 15 years performing under the big top, Alegría embarked on a new journey in May 2009 and is now presented in arenas throughout the United States and Canada. A Spanish word for elation, joy and jubilation, Alegría features an international...

Kid-friendly music adults will like

Good music for kids requires all the same ingredients of good music for adults: talented musicians, a beat that gets you moving, clever lyrics and a catchy melody. This year’s kids music picks have it all. Some albums are mellow, some are rock, some will make you laugh, some will make you think; but whatever your musical tastes, these tunes are all sure to get your feet tapping into 2011. Oh, and an added bonus? They’ll probably get your parents’ feet tapping, too. Turn up the volume! – The Pop Ups, “Outside Voices.” Many of these songs sound like what your parents may have listened to in

Review and Giveaway: SmartyAnts Innovative and Interactive Reading Program

**CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNER BRANDEE WALTER!** This month, LeapFrog’s founder released a must-have reading program for children ages 4-7: SmartyAnts. I was sent the product and was asked to try it out. Or rather, my kids were. Last I checked I’m a pretty good reader. Problem is, my 6-year-old daughter Hadley isn’t. I’ve struggled to get her excited about reading but have been frustrated with her lack of patience and my lack of ability in knowing how and what to teach her. SmartyAnts may just save me. What It Is: There are a couple of different components to this product. 1) The SmartyAnts Phonics Reading Pup is a cuddly, 11-inch-tall robotic dog that offers a fun, interactive way to learn to read. 2) The dog comes with a free one-month membership to t...
