It’s no secret that I’m a Disney fanatic. Right now, as I type this, my youngest is watching Finding Nemo while wearing a Lightning McQueen shirt with a Jessie doll nearby and coloring in a Cars coloring book. We just got back from Disneyland where I attended the Type-A Parent Bootcamp. Amazing as always and we […]
Ever since I was a little kid, our family has loved to visit Heritage Square in Golden. The rides, the kitschy shops, ice cream at Nott’s Landing, and of course the Alpine Slide added up to tons of fun. Regrettably, I haven’t taken my own kids there, save for one time when I was […]

Ahhh…mid-summer. That magical time of year! It’s just flat out HOT. And heat makes for cranky, whiny kids. What’s the best way to snap a kid out of a rotten mood? Stick them in some water. Works every time! If you love the big, fast water slides, you’re in luck. The metro area is […]
Ahh, summer! Ours is spent with long lazy days at the pool, sitting in the shade of the back yard, or day tripping around town. The last thing I want to do is heat up the kitchen, and the kids don’t want to interrupt play time to sit down to a meal. So my compromise is […]
My boys love to build things. LEGOs, K’Nex, plain old wooden blocks. It seems they are building elaborate and creative contraptions every time I turn around. When Bloco contacted me to review their products, I knew it would be a hit! Carter, my 9 year-old, is obsessed with anything to do with dragons and dinosaurs. […]

Reading during the summer is an ideal way to help your kiddos keep up on their skills. And I honestly can’t think of a better way to spend a too-hot-to-play afternoon than laying in the shade with a book in hand. Some of us enjoy reading for the sheer pleasure of it, but plenty of […]

It doesn’t seem to matter how old my kids get, there is something alluring about sidewalk chalk.We found a way to make it even more exciting, and you can whip it up yourself from items you probably already have in the pantry. If not, they can be found at almost any grocery or dollar store. […]
Brady loves snacks. If I would let him, he’d just graze all day long instead of eating 3 meals a day. With his allergies, it’s hard for him to see his brothers and friends eating fun snacks and he’s stuck with a cutie or some carrots. Mum-Mum recently offered us a few samples of their […]

Happy Earth Day, mommas! Today we celebrate Mother Earth and what better way to show mad respect for our planet, than a recycled craft for the garden.

Yoga is one of my very favorite activities. It has so many benefits to the mind and body, and it is a great compliment to any fitness routine. But you don’t have to be a gym rat to enjoy it, in fact you don’t even have to be in great shape! Jammie Speyer of Everyday […]
I am a total jokester at heart, and our whole family loves pranking each other. Of course we always do it out of love and make sure that no one gets hurt or offended, but we do have a lot of fun at one another’s expense! Here are a few fun and harmless pranks to […]
My middle boy Carter is adventurous when it comes to fashion. Mismatched socks? Check. Silly looking shoes? Check. Crazy funny t-shirts? Check. Fedora at all times?! Yup, that too.
