Thank you for your patience!

by Carrie Isaac on March 9, 2010 in The Junk Drawer

Good news – this site (and Jeremy’s) are back up and running normally!  Hopefully my nightmare of the past three days has been over.

I’ll be back with more posts this evening.  Thanks for your patience as I get back into the swing of things as this issue basically sucked three days out of my life!

By the way, I believe everything is functioning normally with the exception of the Wall – I’ll try to get that up and running again soon.

Reader Request: where to camp with kids?

by Carrie Isaac on March 9, 2010 in Entertainment and Sports, Reader Requests
Tagged as

Our baby in the tent *before* she decided to cry all night

Mandy evidently has springtime on the brain – she’s already thinking about camping! She emailed to ask this question:

Where’s the best place to go camping with young kids within an hour of Colorado Springs?

So, camping experts, what suggestions do you have? We just started camping in the past year or two – something I said I’d never do, but here I am! One of our would-be favorites is this free campground just outside of Colorado Springs – but I say “would-be” favorite because our camping days have been paused for the moment.  The last time we went, our youngest was 8 months old and screamed, um, well, most of the night. Hopefully none of you were the other campers in the area that night- if so, please accept my apologies!

Anyway.  Where do you recommend for a kid-friendly place to camp close to Colorado Springs?  Please leave your suggestions in the comments.  If you are reading via email, please click here to comment.

You can submit a Reader Request, and view archived requests as well.  Please feel free to keep adding suggestions on archived requests as they are still being viewed!

by Carrie Isaac on March 9, 2010 in Dining Out

Don’t forget to stop by Panda Express tomorrow (Wednesday) to try their new Honey Walnut Shrimp for free!  No purchase is necessary.

Valid at participating locations only, and you’ll want to call to make sure our Colorado Springs locations are participating.  Haven’t had time due to working on website problems.

Again, thanks for your patience.

Thumbnail image for Let’s chat: what receipts do you save?

This past week I bought some CFL bulbs to replace a few lights that had burned out.  This time, I bought name brand, since we purchased an off-brand at Walmart the time before and they only lasted as long as a “normal” bulb.  I happened to think that I should keep the pacakaging in case [...]
