One of the most stressful times for me and my family is during the week day morning rush to school. Everyone wakes up grumpy and moves at the pace of a tree slug. Besides making sure everyone gets ready and out of the house on time, I also have to keep the kids on task [...]

I was recently introduced to a cool new kids’ activity site that will encourage them to “live it up, mess it up, then clean it up” – Clorox Clean-Up Recipes For Fun. It features two cooking related areas. First, there’s Creative Cooking where kids are encouraged to play with their food and create edible masterpieces. [...]
Earlier this summer, my family and I were invited to attend the the Second Annual Snowmass Culinary & Arts Festival in Snowmass, Colorado. The event brings foodies, wine and spirit connoisseurs, and art lovers together in one beautiful location to sample some of the best of Colorado food and art. Celebrity chefs for 2011 included: [...]
Last month, I attended a Denver food blogger tweetup at the Edge Restaurant & Bar at the Four Seasons in Denver. The purpose was to introduce us to their “Business Quickie” lunch meals at their gorgeous facility in the heart of Denver’s downtown on 14th and Arapahoe. The Edge is known for their happy hour [...]
Starting today, iVillage is partnering with the President’s Challenge Program to help 1 million Americans get active – the Million PALA Challenge (MPC). I learned about this terrific program from Shellie Pfohl, the Executive Director of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, & Nutrition who I heard saw speak at the Fitness & Heath Bloggers [...]
My husband and son are avid golfers and they’re getting my daughter, Lucie interested in playing golf, too, this summer. (Having a set of really cool, pink clubs from Santa certainly helped.) That’s why I wanted to share with you that not only is July Family Golf Month, but this week (July 4-11) is Take [...]

Dishing up MyPlate Served up earlier this month, Americans are trying to digest the newest version of the food group’s icon, MyPlate. Reaction to the new icon by and large has been [...]
So what’s a daycation? It’s a one-day getaway to a local destination that offers the same perks of a vacation without the expense, time off from work, and other hassles that go into vacation planning. You get a chance to get out of the house, see your local area, and have some fun with friends [...]
Like me, my son Nathan is very sensitive to the sun. While the rest of the family tans (and my spots and freckles get darker) he breaks out in “sun blisters” all over his nose and cheeks. It’s a big problem now that summer is here and he’s outside playing, golfing, or going fishing with [...]
Luckily for me, my kids were never sick with a fever at the same time. But I do remember being concerned that the bottle of baby acetaminophen looked so similar to the child version that I used for my older son. I wondered how easy it would be to give the baby an accidental overdose [...]
Recently a friend asked me, “How do you feed your kids healthy meals everyday?” She told me how hard it was trying to change her habits and theirs. I told her it’s all about taking small steps and role modeling healthy living for your kids. With the kids home for summer vacation, it’s a great [...]
I don’t know about you, but mornings are crazy at my house. My son, Nathan, wakes up a full hour before anyone else does. By the time he’s finished dressing and having a healthy breakfast, he’s bored and can’t wait for his sister to come down so he can annoy her. Lucie needs more rest and [...]
This week’s Adam @ Home cartoons have been fabulous. It’s the only cartoon I read because I can relate to Adam, a work-at-home dad. This week’s edition must have been inspirational for parents like me who are constantly challenged by our kids’ eating jags, the lack of time to shop and cook, and our little [...]
