One of 24 venues across the U.S. – and the only in Colorado – Nocturne recently received a Music In Action Grant from Live Music Society which funds programming that builds community, promotes accessibility and creates opportunities for local talent and touring acts to grow and find new audiences. Next month, Nocturne will put the funding into action with its monthly Sunday Community Matinee series offering tickets to live jazz performances for $10 per person – discounted from “Dinner and a Show” experiences which typically start at $89 per person. Ideal for families, youth and students in both pricing and timing, the series will make cultural and artistic experiences available to a wider audience and provide an opportunity to give young, a...
I’m excited to try Saverina at the new Hotel Claret. This could be a perfect place for a fun date (they also have an amazing roof-top bar named Halo). Chef Christian Graves’ Colorado-rooted Italian-inspired dishes sound so mouth-watering. Local, seasonal and sustainable ingredients lead the way on the menu ingredient list and Saverina’s beverage program focuses on Italian and California wines as well as local breweries.

Do you think of Frontier Days in Cheyenne as just a rodeo? Maybe a country concert you want to go see? I did too until I learned about the amazing food available there. Now, I think of it as a fun food paradise. I can’t decide if Elote, Bacon Churro Fries, Fruity Pebble Shrimp Pineapple Bowl or maybe the secret unreleased items will be the top of my list. Or maybe the desserts like the Dole Whip or the Deep Fried Oreos washed down with cucumber mind lemonade is what I’m most looking forward to. Either way, I plan to try them all – and hope you try them all when you go (you should go) too! Amazon Prime Day. July 16-17 will be the annual Prime Day at Amazon.

Your Mile High Mamas recently took a much-needed break. To relax and refresh with family and friends. We have done a fair bit of traveling in the past few weeks. Ever your resource, we would like to pass along five of our favorite travel hacks. 1. Don’t put all your “eggs’ in one basket. Pack a few of your items in other people’s luggage. My daughter lost her luggage on a flight from Denver to Paris. She was without her bags for three days. While Paris may not be the worst city to have to shop in for a few new outfits – it really can wreck a holiday budget. (Think about having to buy all those essentials. So the next time we go on a trip, she will pack at least one outfit and few of the ‘essentials’ in my bag – and I in hers. 2. ...
I was recently sent some 505 Southwestern salsa and grilling sauces. I was also able to try Yucatan guacamoles. They were so tasty and fresh. Our favorite grilling sauce was the Sweet and Spicy (the pineapple mango was a close second) sauce which we put on top of grilled chicken. The Yucatan guacamole was fantastic (it comes in both a squeeze pack and a tub). They were fresh and delicious with chunks of real avocado in there! These sauces will make you look like a grill star for your next BBQ. Amazon Prime Day. July 16-17 will be the annual Prime Day at Amazon. The retail giant will have special deals on that day (and they won’t drop until that day). They are also having several discounts and deals now. Some of the best deals now are Apple airpods for just $89; there are sever...

I love trying something new. I am a seeker of the novel and the fun. This coming weekend some friends and I are going to try the new Lob Play in downtown Denver (1755 Blake St).
