There are a few accomplishments I am proud about. Like when I convinced my friends that flushing the toilet purified the water, making it safe to drink. Or when I went all the way to France to attend a wedding and got lost and in a car accident, ultimately missing Said Wedding.
But today, I almost nailed it. I was #1,001 on the sign-up sheet for 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party–better late than never, right?
For first-time visitors, I am originally from Canada, went to college in Utah and moved to Colorado six years ago. My American husband and I have two little half-breeds: Hadley and Bode. They are known to run around outside in their bathing suits when it is 40 degrees and sing “Oh Canada” at inopportune times.
I am raising them correctly.
Unfortunately, I have absolutely no control over my husband who is obsessed with growing The Great Pumpkin.
And no, there was not full disclosure before we got married.
I used to be an adventure-travel writer and publicist in the outdoor industry. I started my blog back in 2004 and have thousands and thousands tens and tens of readers. I launched a site Mile High Mamas for the Denver Post, which is Colorado’s largest gathering of mommy bloggers.
I recently became active on Twitter (you can find me here) and am two people away from having 1,000 followers. Please follow me! Because as Ellen Degeneres recently said in her monologue of Facebook vs. Twitter: “Followers are much better than friends.”
I certainly hope we can become both!
I'm a Canadian-born mom of two, former Denver Post columnist, family travel writer, editor of MileHighMamas.com and 9News contributor. Expert on all things Utah, Denver, family and travel. Lover of laughter and life. Happily married to a man obsessed with growing The Great Pumpkin.
