I like to remain active in the summer. I stay busy in lots of ways, but I have discovered an amazing new hobby. I have just finished a five lesson program with PGA’s Get Ready Golf. So now I understand why people love this game. It doesn’t seem like anything I will be able to master any time soon – but I will sure have fun trying!

I’m super excited for my honey to come visit me from San Francisco this Valentine’s Weekend. The only dilemma for me is what to do. I often talk about all the great things that I get to do and there are several different options this weekend. From the always amazing Chef Mary Nguyen’s awesome tasting menu at Parallel Seventeen, to the Lodge and Spa at Cordillera* offering snowshoe tours and dinner (seriously that’s awesome romantic right?), to hanging out at home and renting a movie (did I mention he doesn’t LIVE here?). Free Days National Parks – Not only is President’s Day (Monday) a good reason to not have to go to school, but also a great day to play at the National Parks. Since it is FREE. By the way it is free all weekend – Saturday through Monday. Frontier Airlin...

Town has been adorned with orange and blue! And if you are like me, you are trying to figure out if you are having the Superbowl party at your house or if you will be going somewhere else. And then panic sets in. I don’t know what to make or what to bring to a party! YIKES. They want me to bring something? I am up for any suggestions, Pinterest ideas or more. I am thinking of taking my new Soda Stream soda maker to a party so everyone will get their own flavor of pop – maybe we can create our own Superbowl Soda! Pre-Broncos Game Fun Is anything more annoying that waiting? UGH! There are loads of things you can do before the BIG game this Sunday! There are free days at The Museum of Nature & Science, Denver Zoo and Colorado History Center, Southwest Airlines Rink at Skyline ...
Happy Halloween to you! There are several happenings around town this weekend with a bevy of things that can be done at little or no cost – from trick or treat streets to mazes and pumpkin patches. No matter what you choose to do this weekend. Stay safe and healthy. Rexoco.com I have recently found a great way to save a ton of money on gas. And for those of you who are true “soccer moms” know how many times you go to the gas station. Visit Rexoco.com where they host multiple auctions that will garner you discounts on gas. There are auctions for discounted rates on gas or gas cards. In my first try, I won a certificate that was for $2.36/gallon which saved me almost $20 on a tank of gas. (I have had more success with certificates than gas cards). MileHighMamas get to try i...
