First Time at Summer Camp? – “Later Ma”

Fiona Bryan — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 04:54:41 +0000

I have a teeny little feeling in the pit of my stomach tonight. I’m not sure I’ve ever felt anything quite like it so it’s very difficult to describe but I am 100% positive that it is related to the fact that I dropped my boys off at summer camp today. I’m so excited for [...]

I’m getting old-Time to run a marathon!

Fiona Bryan — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 16:12:09 +0000

Over the past year or so I've been creating a "40 Before 40" list-a bucket list of thinks I'd like to accomplish before I turn 40. There are several things on that list that I've been able to check off, others that may or may not happen, and several that I am determined to make happen because they are important to me. I haven't published the list, I've mentioned it and even promised to post it but haven't been able to bring myself to do so because, while I say that making this type of list doesn't necessarily mean you have to complete all of the items, the perfectionist in me isn't so sure I believe that.

Winter Activity Pain Relief – Salonpas $200 AmEx Giftcard Giveaway

I love fresh powder days on the mountain by myself but I have to admit that on the days my kids drag me through the ringer I feel giddy like a kid. Well, until later that night or next morning, that is. Those little boogers go hard all day long!

Perfect Moment Monday ~ Catch a Flake

Fiona Bryan — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 04:04:22 +0000

I snapped this shot of Kat trying to catch snowflakes with her tongue on Saturday night in Steamboat Springs, CO. We had just come down the Gondola from a fun Western BBQ at the top of the mountain. We had eaten ourselves full and danced ourselves silly but Kat still had enough energy to twirl [...]

Vacation Mode In Full Swing

Fiona Bryan — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 00:04:15 +0000

My mom rocks, she's totally laid back and that makes it even easier for me to go into vacation mode when she's around. We always have big plans but somehow we sleep in and sloth around a bit and then the day is mostly over. I love these visits but I wonder if she loves them as much as I do?

Random Act of Zhu #2 ~ Ronald McDonald House Denver

Fiona Bryan — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 20:03:58 +0000

The Ronald McDonald House's main focus is providing comfortable, low-cost housing to out-of-town mothers and fathers needing to be near their hospitalized children. Many children from rural parts of Colorado come to Denver for treatment and the Ronald McDonald House makes it possible for these families to be near their children during what can be a frightening time in a child's life. The Zhu Zhu Pets that we brought to the house this week will bring smiles to the children who receive them and joy to the hearts of the parents who are able to celebrate the holiday with their children.

My First Random Act of Zhu: Destination SafeHouse Denver!

Fiona Bryan — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 19:10:37 +0000

I enjoy meeting the fantastic group of women that make things happen at SafeHouse Denver. They had never seen a Zhu Zhu pet before and they were giggling with delight because each child would wake up to one of these furry friends... and they'd be running all over the house!

The winning Burgermeister was the charming 12-year-old Donovan Duggins from Wichita, Kansas. His "Mt. Vesuvius Burger" will be sold in all U.S. Red Robin® restaurants in summer 2011. Donovan's "Lava Sauce" (made from sweet BBQ sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder and paprika) was the perfect combination of "sweet, with a kick". The sauce,crumbled blue cheese, bacon, and provolone cheese, topped a beef patty and was served on a sesame seed bun.

Town Hall Children’s Theater Seussical Jr. Delivers Kid-tastic Performance

Fiona Bryan — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 07:44:41 +0000

The journey from the "Jungle of Nool" to "McEligott's Pool" highlights Dr. Seuss character favorites such as The Cat in the Hat, Yertl the Turtle, and the imaginative boy Jojo. The colorful set and creatively adapted costume design was everything you would expect from a Seuss inspired production. This was a fun and kid-tastic outing that had us singing and quoting Dr. Suess silliness all the way home. YOPP!
