Colorado State Fair



The state fair is held in Pueblo from August 27 until September 6 with events for the entire family each day! You'll want to check out all of the deals being offered for ticket sales including Dollar Day of Tuesday, August 31 where ALL tickets are only $1!

There are plenty of free attractions to enjoy including a LEGO hands-on exhibit (Sept 3-6), Dock Dogs, Rainforest Rescue, and Mutton Bustin'. The carnival is open daily (hours vary) and an unlimited ride pass is $25/day. You can also enjoy the Livestock, Horse, and Small Animal Exhibits will be on display the entire length of the fair.

This is another great Colorado family event that I can't wait to attend! Have you been in years past? Can you share with us the best time to go or the most fun activities to do while we are there?

The program is based on the classic books of Walter Farley an…

Summer Plan 2012

Is anyone else asking themselves what happened to the last 3 months?? (Maybe you're wondering what happened to the last 3 years or just the last 3 days... at any rate you know how I feel, mom.)

Today was my kids' last day of school for the year. I'm sitting on the precipice of another summer. This was my first year of "freedom" - two kids in school full time. It felt good. But as predicted I packed every possible moment with housework, volunteering, writing, and working at my "real job" (ie. the one I actually get paid to do).

And it makes me wonder, how will I ever scale back and just enjoy the lazy days of summer?? How can I embark on a summer of fun and adventure without feeling like I'm staring into the abyss? I've done an unofficial survey of other moms I know and there's a mix of emotions. Some are ecstatic to have kids at home this summer; others are dreading it. I have a funny feeling the first group isn't telling the whole truth…
