I have a confession. I have to ask you to not judge me or picture me in too-tight jeans and ropers when I tell you.  And please, pretty please DON'T think of me in a tan Stetson and a pony...

Free on Thursday's for a date night outing rather than a weekend night?  No problem!  Call a sitter, put on a little perfume and kiss the kiddo's goodnight - all mamma's deserve a night out every once in awhile.  If...

Get out your dancing shoes and turn on the radio!  It's time for a DANCE PARTY! What you need: The Internet (check) Reckless Abandon (if you can't find this go outside, take off your shoes and wiggle your toes in the grass...

It's hard to remember just how hot it really is in the summer when the weather is as beautiful at it is today.  March is just about the perfect month for weather.  Sigh. But, we must prepare ourselves like folks...

This is my favorite time of year in Arizona.  The weather is perfect and the flowers are just starting to show their color.  With the wet "winter" we had, I'm hoping that the desert will have colorful flowers. A great way...

Just this past Tuesday, a little girl went home from Phoenix Children's Hospital.  Kate McRae, was diagnosed with brain cancer June 29, 2009.  She was just 5 years old at the time of her diagnosis.  Her recovery is not...

Every city has characteristics that stand out and unite its citizens.  As a Scottsdale Mom, I'm sure you can relate to these 7 Wonders of Scottsdale:  1. Cyclists everywhere - all the time - They come in all shapes, but most of them...

I realize that it is no mystery that Scottsdale has a public library (five in fact) but could you tell me five activities that the library has for children?  Stumped?  Okay name two.  Yeah, I couldn't either. Imagine my surprise and joy (hehe)...

Think of it, a secret world of hidden treasures in all the common locations you frequent: the grocery store parking lot, the flowerbed outside your gym, in the playground equipment your kids play on all the time, in some...

Upon moving to Arizona we were quickly introduced to Delux Burger (why no "e"?  I have no idea).  I was much like you and wondered to myself  "what is so deluxe about their beef"?  However, after our first meeting both...

"Don't reinvent the wheel." I love this little pearl of wisdom.  I assume that at any point in my life, anything that I am attempting, someone, somewhere has figured out how to do it better, quicker, with more creativity or...

Scottsdale is full of wonderful parks to explore with our kiddos.  It's so refreshing to retreat to green grass and trees to escape from, well, the desert.  Anytime I come upon a field of grass, my first impulse is to...

Before kids I thought surely, date nights will be a HUGE priority.  I'd heard it suggested by so many other veteran moms to get out with your hubby.  Sounds great - I thought - we'll do it! Now as all of you know -...
