I thought TicTok was a kid’s thing. But I recently discovered how completely wrong I was to think that. It is a complete nonsense fun and great way to connect with your teenagers. Parents trying to do the complicated dance moves – elicits lots of laughter in our house! Have you tried it yet?

You can try it for 15 days for free.
Mulay’s Sausage. I love it when items are made right here in Colorado! I sort of get a little giggle about pointing out the address on products showing that it was made here. Mulay’s sausage started in Crested Butte (one of my favorite spots).

The $20 tickets (100% proceeds benefitting the charities) are on sale now through Eventbrite. While you are there shop some of the great new outlet stores – the one I’m most excited about? Lululemon!
