Having two train lovers in the family, we have done nearly all of the train rides in Colorado except one - the Santa Express Train. Riding a holiday train is part of our family's traditions and I can't wait to try this one. Climb aboard the Santa Express Train for a spectacular ride through Colorado's Royal Gorge this November 16 - December 26. The Santa Express
Not Your Grandma’s Diapers
By BoulderMoms at August 2, 2012 | 3:30 am | 4 Comments
There is a cloth diaper chat on Monday nights on Twitter (#Clothdiapers). I’ve been to several and this online community really knows their stuff. The term “EcoPosh” had been thrown around associated with reviews like, “this has to be the nicest diaper ever, it’s amazing, if I could afford to I’d use only these.” I saw the EcoPosh line come through on
Long Distance Grandparents – Do you have them?

In December 2003 we moved from Oregon to Colorado leaving behind our families. After our wedding disasters it was a nice escape from our families. In April 2006 we welcomed our first son and I never felt so alone in my life. Growing up, my grandma lived close most of my life. So close I could walk to her home barefoot in the middle of summer. She made the best baked
LegoFest 2012

LegoFest! When I saw this event advertised a few months ago there was no doubt about it, we’d be there. My five-year-old son is crazy about legos. It’s literally the first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning, and the last thing he does before he goes to bed. I had no idea what to expect, but I knew that this was something that we did not want to

Being the 3rd baby and the second boy, Lil C doesn't get much that is new. Christmas and his first birthday were hard, because what we needed we already had, and what he would have wanted we had. So for his first birthday, I splurged and got him an unneeded super soft fleece sweatshirt. It's going to be a sad day when he outgrows it. Perhaps the softest thing any

When you have a problem as a new mom you tend to look to two things: 1. Ask your mama friends what they do. 2. Find the "something" that will solve your problem. Often times you do both. So when you look for #2, where do you go? Online? Maybe. You can google and come up with just about anything. What if you want something local? What if you want to ask
The Giving Tree

My daughter's first dance recital is coming up. It's a month away. The grandparent's have bought plane tickets and will be coming out from Oregon. I'm so excited to see her dance on a stage with her friends. I'm also worried. If you aren't aware we are going through a tough time with her. I've posted asking about night terrors, because she is waking up nightly
Great Food at My Door! Mile High Organics

Since becoming a mother, I have become increasingly aware and concerned about what I eat and especially what I feed my family. A trip to the grocery store is packed with decisions about the kind of foods to bring into your house – and often it’s hard to understand what the ingredients even are, if there are pesticides on the produce, what is involved in processing

Have you tried Naked Pizza yet? I was a little skeptical, ok actually a lot. I like a lot of toppings on my pizza. Artichokes - yes! Peppers - of course. Olives, onions and ham - oh my! Naked Pizza is your go to place for healthy pizza. Yes, I said healthy and pizza in the same sentence. My kids love pizza, but I'm reluctant to give in. Being honest

Unplug It!

Boulder Moms Connect is unplugging from now until April 1st. No email, no Facebook, no Twitter, no posts - just good old fashioned family time. I have done this up to 5 days in the past, so this will be the longest time period. What about emergencies? Good question, but I hope that if something is important I get a phone call. Won't I get bored? In the past it
