2008

So it's party season around our house, because it's t-minus one week til Declan's 6th birthday. This year we're playing it on the mellow side and having a BBQ at our house.

For us, it was somewhere in between.My husband Bryan stayed home with our son for the first two years. It was wonderful for the two of them, and it was also hard. ... Read more >

We are safe, clean and pretty.For example, the web site "Walk Score," which ranks the most walkable cities in America, puts Denver at #11.

When you are a young one, the bath can seem like an exciting water park. Everything seems bigger, cooler, splashier. And as long as mom or dad are right there to partake in the fun, bathtime is also a great time to explore all the sensory exploration that they can find in the water.Shaving Cream – Pulling out the shaving cream is always a gooey way for the kids to get their hands dirty, and ...

I know it's sometimes hard to see the stars living in a fairly big city like Denver, but that doesn't make them any less interesting.

Fri

2008

I am going to be honest with you here. Fishing has never been my thing. Mainly because I am fairly clutzy, especially with sharp objects, and I am pretty sure hooks and I should stay far far away from each other.But there is something inherent that makes kids want to fish isn't there? And seeing as Denver is surprisingly LOADED with lakes and parks to fish in, I have done some research and ... Read more >
