I was at an event put on by the Mile High Mamas at Panera's Bel Mar location the other night. It was heaven! Nothing like my favorite girls, favorite food and, wait for it... BEAR CLAWS! (I'm just slightly addicted.)
In hearing about the new summer menu items and in between bites of Fuji apple chips, I learned that in 2011 Panera Bread of Colorado donated more than $2.8 million in product donations as part of its Day End Giving program and more than $100,000 in monetary donations.

Wait, what?! Yeah, you read that right. So totally not related to anything, but I was at a great event last night with the Mile High Mamas crew. When the girls get together, who knows what we will start talking about. Impotent Monkeys apparently.
Started out innocently enough. The birthday gal Rajean was talking to me about wine. I love me some wine. I was telling her about how my new love is for "unoaked chards" and how I didn't even know what that meant, but they taste devine! Then it reminded me of a wine that I love that's local...

Made in Colorado 2011 Holiday Gift Guide This year I thought it would be great to feature some local businesses in a gift guide. I, for one, love to support local business, especially ones started by moms. Whether it’s selling crafty items on etsy or owning a wine bar (um, hello! Wine!), Moms are now going into business for themselves. People often use the term “Mompreneur”, but I much prefer calling them what they really are, “Awesomesauce”. Here are some local mom-owned businesses you won’t want to miss....
. I’m saddened to hear that MomsLikeMe.com is closing their site on October 14th. This was a great resource for local moms to have playdates, meetups, MNO’s and chit-chat. Many long lasting friendships were made all across the country due to this website. They had contests, polls, hot topics and more. It will be missed. Back in 2005, ColoradoMoms.com was born. Actually, it was around in 2004 I believe, but merged into ColoradoMoms.com the Spring of 2005. It quickly became a popular forum site for moms wanting to connect with others in their same position. Stay at home moms, work...

Finding the perfect school for your child is hard. Let’s face it, the state of education today isn’t exactly what it should be. So how do you know if your neighborhood school is right for you?
