I was excited when I was contacted by HoneyBaked Ham to do a Mile High Mamas promotion. I haven’t had their succulent, juicy ham in years but the best part? Not only was I invited to throw a little soiree for my family but I also have a $50 gift card I’m giving away to one lucky reader (enter below)! Thanksgiving was a bit of a bust at our place. My husband’s sister had back surgery a few days prior so she was in a lot of pain and left prematurely. This week, we are juggling holiday craziness and my husband’s birthday as we try to schedule a time to get together to exchange gifts with his siblings because we won’t be celebrating Christmas together. Our solution? Why not throw a failed-Thanksgiving/husband birthday/early-Christmas dinner sponsored by HoneyBaked...

**CONTEST CLOSED** I stopped in the brand new Essentia Store in Cherry Creek (250 Fillmore St., Denver, CO (720) 941-6300 – Directions) and was greeted by a very simple store that has pillows, mattresses, and not much else. Mattresses for babies, pets and adults, of course, but just mattresses and pillows. Essentia is a Canadian-brand that sells organic natural foam mattresses and pillows, so the store was pretty much spot on—not promising items they don’t sell. I heard the information about the brand; the softness factor, the theory behind the creation of this unique mattress, the eco-friendly procedures of the company, OH . . and that a pillow costs $199 and weighs 5 pounds! I was so intrigued by such a heavy, $200 pillow, I couldn’t wait to test it out. It was in my bed with me by...
