Before you criticize your child, ask yourself this question - 16 views
By Emily Hill ROCKY MOUNTAIN MOMS BLOG I am not the perfect mother, which I'm sure you've already figure out if you've read any of my past Rocky Mountain Moms Blog posts. I don't profess to be the perfect mother but I do know areas in which I could — and should — improve and am trying to work on them one baby step at a time. (I learned that life-changing philosophy from Bob Wiley in... - read more

School drop-off law breakers - 13 views
While walking Aidan to Kindergarten yesterday, I was approached by a woman who was rather distraught. She was well dressed, with a nice bob-styled haircut, and big dark sunglasses; probably in her mid-50s. We were walking by the crosswalk by the school, where a really nice black Cadillac Escalade had his rear-end parked over half of the crosswalk, blocking anyone who wanted to cross the street. "Do you see how... - read more

I am a fancypants - 24 views
It's true-- it's official: I am a fancypants. I was interviewed this month by author Izzy Rose ( The Package Deal ) and put in the Stepmom Spotlight. I KNOW, RITE? How cool is that? I am Ms. November ! Please be sure to pop over there and give a read-- mostly because it enhances my sense of self worth. And, well, my fancypantsness. - read more

A bug and a wish - 133 views
I am a peace-loving person. I like a cute, quiet, mellow home decorated with cheery colors. Sweetness and light, harp music on the stereo, I'm there.   So what did I choose for a career -- journalism! Political journalism! And now, I am responsible for producing that cage fight of all rhetorical discussion -- political talk radio, mostly conservative talk radio at that. I know! What was I thinking?... - read more

Surprisingly delicious fall dish - 156 views
I'd spent most of my adult life avoiding it. It was curly and green and I suspected it was bitter. It looked like a weed, for crying out loud! And then I read the article that would change my life. Molly  Wizenberg’s piece in October’s issue of Bon Appetit: How I learned to love kale . I was awestruck. Kale? Really? Isn’t that the stuff used to decorate salad bars? Yes. It is. But it is so... - read more

Being a Bad Driver May Not be Your Fault... - 48 views
...well, according to new research there is a gene variation in some that cause them to not stay on the road properly...about 30% of individuals apparently are born with it. Okay, so the study only had 29 participants, but 7 were consistently poor drivers when subjected to an obstacle course via a simulator. The researchers explain that those with the errant gene have a limited availability of a protein called... - read more

Baby It's Cold Outside... Protect your Garden from Frost Damage! - 77 views
Wow!  That was quick!  Seems like only weeks ago we were complaining about the heat!  But here comes the cold.  If you are growing some winter veggies, and I hope you are, it's time to get them a little protection.  They want to be tucked in at night and it doesn't have to be pretty, just effective.  Been there? Done that?  Thought so. I've camped with tube socks on my... - read more

Restaurant Review: Batter Up Pancakes - 146 views
There should never be a morning where  Batter Up Pancakes  isn't packed. But usually, I can walk right in, order something like the drool inducing chocolate chip pancake above, and slip into a wonderful carb-coma a few minuets later. The pancakes there are amazing and they'll make them with just about anything you want. They even put crazyass things like sauteed spinach and onions and bell... - read more
