Colorado Moms
Are you a mom in Colorado who wants to connect with other moms? Want to share recipes, get advice, meet up for playdates?
Our forums are growing and we'd love you to be a part of that! We have comfy vibe, it's as if you are sitting around a coffee shop, chatting with your closest friends.
Other boards can be large and overwhelming and get on some pretty debatable topics. While we love a good debate, our forums stand out because we respect everyone's opinion. Whether you vax, delay vax, anti-vax, circ or anti-circ, cloth v. disposable diapers, love Coke over...
. 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...
Do you have a morning routine with your kids? Is yours as insane as mine? Please share yours so I don’t feel so hopeless/helpless. LOL For me, I wake up at 6:30 (okay, 6:43 after hitting snooze twice) Make sure Tbone is up by 6:45 He eats breakfast, changes, etc. Wake Cartman up around 7 at 7:10 wake C up again 7:15 yell at C that if he doesn’t get up, he’s going to school in his jammies 7:25 get the kids to brush teeth/hair, shoes on, etc. 7:26 remind both kids that they have to actually use water and...

Some of us from the forums and meetup group meet at Barnes & Noble once a week to get away from the kiddo’s and hubby for a couple hours to chat, sip coffee and some of us get crafty! Brandi shared a pattern to make a turtle named Sheldon from knitty.com. We all fell instantly in love! Not only is he adorable, but his shell is removable so you can make different colors, patterns, costumes and more! Cartman would love him, so I decided to make him to model after our own turtle… Hot Rod. Knitschmidt ordered all the yarn...
