Every time I walk into a craft store like Hobby Lobby, I spend time browsing through the signs and pictures, looking for a motto that fits my family. Share. Forgive. Laugh. Be Grateful. Love. Though these generic signs have wonderful messages for any family, I have never found one that perfectly fits mine. It would appear not everyone is equally passionate about growing giant pumpkins. That’s why I was ecstatic to connect with Heather, a married mom of 3 (with one on the way) who lives in Breckenridge. She started Swirly Twirly Designs a few years ago when she searched for items for her daughter’s nursery but couldn’t find exactly what she was looking for. So, she decided to learn how create her own signs and artwork and what started off as...

We’re big Disney fans (be sure to stay tuned for details of the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration). But as much as we love Mickey, my kids don’t typically wear commercial clothing so I was unsure what my son would think about Kohl’s Department Store’s new Disney-branded apparel collection for kids under the Jumping Beans brand. My description of having our own little “fashion show” didn’t sit well with him either because as it turns out, most little boys aren’t into the runway scene. #WhoKnew? I was actually excited when we saw this new collection at Kohl’s. The girl’s line was darling, feminine and fun with playful red, white and blue prints. The boy’s collection? It was right up the alley for a cool 7-year-old dud...

While Mile High Mama blogger Catherine Tidd has spent the last few years developing a global online support group for widows and widowers (www.theWiddahood.com), she has also been hard at work on her memoir, Confessions of a Mediocre Widow, which took the number two spot on the local nonfiction bestseller list less than two weeks after its release. In her first interview with us, she talks about everything from finding humor in grief to dating as a single parent. And we are excited to be giving away three copies of her book (see below)! Why did you write this memoir? Confessions of a Mediocre Widow is the book I wanted when my husband died in 2007. I was 31-years-old with three small children and most of the books that I came across were either too clinical/self-help for ...
**CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO ELAISHA T.! ** My technological tendencies frustrate my husband Jamie to no end. I constantly view videos vertically instead of horizontally on my iPhone. I’d rather watch movies on the small TV in our bedroom versus his 84-inch HDTV in the basement. And I buy cheap headphones from (wait for it) the dollar store or Big Lots. I’ll probably keep doing the first two but my life has been forever changed after experiencing Beats By Dr. Dre Wireless On Ear Headphone from Staples. I had originally intended to give them to my husband this Christmas but I may just keep them for myself (sorry, Honey). These are a few of my favorite things: Sound. My first thought when I put them on was “whoa, listen to that bass!” Music sounds crisper, cle...

So you know those contests that they have on the radio: “Win a trip to see some super artist in some tropical sounding location.” I have to admit, that sometimes I think it is not really possible to actually WIN one of those trips. That, in addition, to the fact that I am probably the most unlucky person there is! I was at a “Live at Five” concert with Alice 105.9 radio station. I had gone because they had an artist performing there that had won American Idol, Lee Dewyze. I thought that in and of itself was pretty cool. Free concert! I’m in! While I was there I put my name on a piece of paper. They were giving away two trips – one to see Bon Jovi in New Jersey and the other to see Taylor Swift in Los Angeles. As I wrote my name down, I said out loud, ...
