The Best Neighborhoods For Lights
December 23, 2008
I hate to say it, but no one could write this post better than the Rocky Mountain News. And with rumors of the Rocky being in trouble, we better use their resources with a vengeance this year. They are known far and wide for publishing a map of their best picks and chart out the route for you to see the best lights in Denver, how convenient! And they also have a photo slideshow of individual Read more...
Doing The Holidays From Afar
December 23, 2008
My husband and I moved to Denver 15 years ago. In fact, we trekked to Denver in a U-Haul leaving right after New Years Day 1994, driving all the way from Baltimore, Maryland to the Rocky Mountains. It's been a tremendous change in many ways - but one thing we've had to get used to is being away from our families - all still back in Maryland - during the holidays. Sure, there have been a few here Read more...
Give the Gift of Denver!
December 16, 2008
Isn't it frustrating when you are searching for a gift for someone and they already have EVERYTHING? Well, in the interest of creating memories (and going green) - what about giving memberships this year to loved ones instead of just stuff? That way Grandma can accompany you to the Zoo any time you go. Or your best friend can easily bring her tots along to the Aquarium. Fun for the whole year! Read more...
A Great Time For Giving
December 15, 2008
I feel so fortunate. Right now, in general, my family is financially secure and we are doing OK. Sure, we are not rich, but as I watch the news and see the economic trauma around the country, I can't help but wonder what else we can do to help others - and in turn, teach my son the value of charity as well. Tis the season and all, right? But how do we go about it? Donate Money We already have Read more...
Rock Out With Your Tot (For The Holidays)
December 12, 2008
I am a huge music fan, so it's no surprise that I love holiday music just as much. I do have a strict rule that we can't start listening to it until Thanksgiving weekend, but after that - all bets are off! So, at 6, Declan is already used to and has many holiday music faves himself. Here are some of our family favorites to listen to this time of year, by our favorite artist's rendition of that Read more...
Go Green This Season
December 10, 2008
Going green is not just a fad, it's a way of life, right? And what better time of year to teach the principals of eco-friendliness than during the holiday season? Here are some ideas to jump start the green in your house this year: Send ecards instead of paper cards. Give services instead of purchased gifts, like raking leaves, mowing the lawn, etc. Or maybe gifts that you DO together, like Read more...
Make Holiday Cards With The Kids!
December 05, 2008
It's that time of the year, right? Time to get those holiday cards in order. Well, except for me, the process started back in September. I actually put up a post on my personal blog looking for input on how to go about holiday cards this year. Because 1) the sheer number of cards was getting out of hand 2) so many people in my life "see" us on a daily basis through the magic of the internet (so, Read more...
