Label me, “Happy Holidays…” ‘Tis the season, and Lovable Labels has a new holiday product line-up you really should check out. I had the opportunity to try out the Holiday Fun Stickies and the Stocking Stuffers. The kids love them! The stocking stuffer packs are very cool and include: 6 Sticker Labels, 8 Press N’ Stick Clothing DOTS, 2 Shoe Labels and 1 Mini Metal Tag. The Holiday Fun Stickies include 16 labels in cute new holiday themed designs. We chose music, since both girls are really into piano lessons. They have received their sets a little early and are quite excited to be using them on our vacation! The Cyber Monday sale at lovable labels is quite extraordinary if you want to order now.

I have posted about the amazing products at Lovable Labels before- their toddler toes, and other products are used in our home, and dishwasher and microwave safe labels are great to use on lunch boxes, and containers. I love Lovable Labels products, and use them daily, otherwise, would not promote them here. Their products are very well made, and endure.

A little history of this company- it was launched in 2003, started by a mom that found herself in a similar situation all us parents find ourselves in. The daycare or school asks us to label our kids’ jackets, their shoes, their clothes and yet, even so, we still end up getting others kids’ clothes and hats and the other parents end up with our child’s stuff. Markers are messy and wash off as I have learned, and regular store-bought labels are not waterproof, nor can you iron them on. I don’t know about you, but I do not have time for embroidery nor am I talented enough to do it. So, along came Lovable Labels providing an easy, simple, and cost efficient solution for parents and kids. More importantly, these labels are very durable and even though they are inside my child’s shoes they stick well, and are not bunching up or tearing. Lovable Labels are durable- waterproof, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer safe; and safe to external factors like sunscreen, temperature and sun. Lovable labels solves the problem of misplaced, misidentified clothing, shoes, and belongings including books. They are also a great value for the amount of great quality labels you get. Check out all their great products at: Lovable Labels – “don’t lose it- label it!” And remember to enter the giveaway below, or use the coupon code below to get a special discount.

Aloha and Mahalo to our 50th State – Hawaii

Posted on November 24, 2013 by getcluedin

We had an amazing opportunity to travel southwest to our 50th State and visit paradise – Hawai’i. The Hawaiian Islands are beautiful, tropical, and just a quick trip away from Denver. The beauty is beyond anything I have experienced anywhere on the mainland – even California, with all its beauty, mountains and ocean, doesn’t compare.

Diamondhead – at Waikiki

The clear blue waters and sky of Hawaii have a beauty unlike any other State in the union. Here, I share some tips, some places to stay near, and what to do but keep in mind in our 5 days, and 5 nights there, we only stayed on the island of Oahu.

Flying in and out of Honolulu (HNL) was just fine – it is cheaper than flying elsewhere, and renting a car at HNL is cheaper because of the competition. I still think CostcoTravel has the cheapest rental cars if you are an executive member. The only non-stop flights from Denver are with United Airlines direct into HNL. All other airlines connect but if you don’t mind the extra travel time, you can get airline rates as cheap as $549-ish on US Airways or United connecting in Phoenix, SFO, LAX, or other such places. You can book Hawaiian Airlines out of Seattle or LAX as low as $450 but will have to get there from Denver. The direct, non-stop flights run from $680 to $750 depends on when you buy and when you go. The return flights are tougher because you either have to depart first thing in the morning out of HNL or take the red-eye back to Denver. Red-eye flights look great on paper, but in reality, are horrible. Kids do sleep but they kick you, each other, and generally, it is uncomfortable for you, not the kiddos.

Sunset at Waikiki

On Oahu, these are the must see/do things: Waikiki Beach- First, you simply must hang out on Waikiki Beach. It is a commercial, tourist trap with expensive shops and the look and feel of Newport Beach but it is not. The waters are so clear you can snorkel right near the shore and still see fish! It is clear blue water, perfect sand, and you can grab a bite to eat for a reasonable fare along the coast. We stayed at the Hale Koa Hotel but only eligible military may stay here. The Hilton Hawaiian Village right next door on the beach to the Hale Koa is a

Picture of Waikiki from atop Diamond Head crater

perfect alternative- check prices and using points or miles here will be a high rate. Hilton Waikiki is right up the road too! Check hotel prices, but staying close to the beach is so worth it! KOA services on the beach is great for renting umbrellas, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and fun boats. Military get half price on almost all of these rentals. It is a great deal so bring your ID card. At Waikiki, you can get great pics of Diamond Head, and the sunset. Waikiki Beach is on the South Shore and the sunsets over the Pacific here. We had an oceanfront view at the Hale Koa, and were able to get some great pictures of the sunset.

Diamond Head State Park- You simply must hike up the Diamond Head. You can see the views of the entire island from here. Diamond Head is a crater, and when you get to the top you can see the crater, and the shores of the east coast, and all of Waikiki Beach and Pearl Harbor. It is simply the most breath-taking view you can imagine! The hike up is treacherous, but get a trail map because a year ago, they opened a ramp so you can avoid the 99 steps and only have to climb about 10 of them. Know where to detour for this, so you can avoid the insane steps.

Sunrise over Pacific from Diamond Head

It’s an alternate route up but the entire hike is about 1.2 miles up, and takes 30 minutes to the top, and one hour round-trip. The sun rising over the Pacific is a sight to see because you can never see that from the mainland. My husband ran from Diamond Head (the base) to the hotel in Waikiki and it is about 5.5 miles so be aware of that, but a beautiful, scenic run along the beach and shore. Parking is $5.00 at the beginning of the trail head and worth it. There is no other entry fee. For food, and drink, a food truck is parked at the base, and they sell yummy fresh pineapple, water, and snow cones and it is good stuff! You will need it after the long round-trip, or on the way up. Also, restrooms are at the base, but nothing at the top or along the way.

Hanauma Bay Snorkeling- You simply must head to Hanauma Bay and see the beautiful coral reef, the beautiful clear blue waters, and snorkel (you can even snorkel near the shore) and see the fish, turtles, and other wild life. The coral is beautiful to see too. The water is clear (not foggy at all). In fact, my kids who were with us saw fish without snorkeling gear. You do not need it at all. Walk slowly, and keep still and you can see your own feet and all the sea creatures you wish for. Hanauma Bay is very kid-friendly, and the water is calm and clear. It is hot and sunny here so do get a shaded spot if you can, or bring an umbrella. Don’t forget sunblock and a hat. Also, military get in free with their active I.D. but all dependents need their IDs as well so remember that. They are not kind to military dependents who forgot their ID, even if the active member vouches for their spouses. The parking is $1.00 and the entry fee is $7.50 and kids under 10 are free. You have to watch a video to enter, and sign your name on the list so you can return without watching it again.

Polynesian Cultural Center- I thought we’d get a Lei off the plane but they don’t do that anymore, and the Leis will cost you now. So, if you want to see some Hawaiian or Polynesian Culture, head northeast to the Polynesian Cultural Center, to see some dancing, ukulele playing, and you can take lessons too! There are workshops and shows to attend, and kids activities. You can spend at least 3-4 hours here if not more. The tickets are cheapest if you get them from ITT/MWR (for military- available at all the local bases), or try to find a deal on-line if you are not military. Regular admission tickets are $39.00 and that does not include the shows or the luau at night. That generally will run you $94 per person for the entire package deal. The canoe parade with all the festive colors, dancing, and cultural explanations are beyond

Canoe Parade

ITT or MWR on bases sell the Polynesian Cultural Center tickets for $15 per person (over age 5- kids under 6 are free). This is a screaming deal! Honestly, if you want to do a Luau, try the one at the Hale Koa on Waikiki- I have heard great things. Kids under 12 are free, and adults are $49.50 all inclusive. We did not do a luau because I do not eat meat or fish, and luaus are set menus. But I hear the experience is worth it. Honestly, after visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center, I feel I received a lot of culture and experienced it all in one place. All in all, I didn’t feel I was experiencing any island culture until we hit the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Dole plantation & North Shore Beaches- Dole plantation is a tourist trap, overpriced, and ridiculous but you still have to go there and do it but just be aware of what NOT to do whilst there. So, there is a corn maze, a train ride, and a plantation tour that you have to pay for. I recommend picking one. It is expensive even with the military discount. The train ride is bogus- we did it for the kids and wish we could get that hour of our lives back. Sadly, we cannot. I recommend heading there, eating the dole whip (not the one with topping) and the corn (outside the visitor’s center) which is the yummiest thing ever, watching the pineapple cutting demonstration, walking the grounds, and then heading out to the north shore for food and beach fun. The corn maze, I hear, is fun for kids, but again, I recommend only doing one paid activity. The kids really enjoyed the dole whip as did we. Sometimes they run specials on the souvenir cup with dole whip so I recommend doing that buy one, get one half off deal to get a cheap souvenir. Enjoy walking the grounds and seeing the pineapple demonstrations (get to try some free pineapple too), and then head off north 10 mins to the north shore. We stopped at Waimea Beach on the north shore but you can go further east on the north shore to see surfers at Turtle Bay and Sunset Beach- GORGEOUS!

Waimea Bay & Beach NORTH SHORE

The waves are higher on the north shore in the winter so it is not safe for kids, but it is fun to jump and hop over waves. There are some great restaurants along the north shore as well – near Sunset Beach, but we had to head back towards Waikiki to meet friends for dinner. It is about a one-hour drive south back to the Waikiki/HNL area, and with traffic it can turn into 1 hour 15 mins. Keep in mind that traffic INTO Waikiki and Honolulu (the city) on

Sunset at the North Shore

the H1 is bad, and leaving the city in the evenings, so when you make your plans, try to go against traffic. We got lucky each time, going in the opposite direction of the traffic.

We stayed at a military installation towards the end of our journey and it had its own private beach and unique features too which really made our enjoy pleasant and enjoyable. The Navy Exchange which is off-post near Pearl Harbor is amazing and huge, and open to all for the food court. I recommend eating here, and if you are eligible, you can shop at the commissary and on-site Exchange. The chocolates, dresses, shirts, and souvenirs are very cheap and great quality here.

Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona and War In the Pacific Memorials- Finally, on Oahu, you simply must visit at least one or all the Pacific Memorials for World War II. It is not to be missed. We visited the USS Arizona, and saw the film before hand. If the film does not get you, walking into this memorial, and knowing what rests below will bring tears to your eyes, and the history is just all around you. You can see all the sites, and visit the submarine, and take a boat to Ford Island to see the remaining ships and memorials. I highly recommend going early (before 0930) and it will take you at least one hour per memorial. There is also enough to do around here – walking around, reading all the placards, and seeing all the exhibits for free. It will take at least 2-3 hours from start to finish so plan accordingly, and remember to show your respect. The December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor was the costliest for the U.S. Navy and our military – EVER! I had no idea over 2,100 sailors, soldiers and airmen lost their lives. I thought the number was in the hundreds. It is quite eye-opening. Keep in mind that you will explain the film to young kids – there is a lot talk of death, war, and casualties, and young kids do not understand this quite yet. Tickets to USS Arizona are free – it is a National Park Service and federally appropriated monument. All others cost some concession fee and military in uniform are free to all exhibits. Food on site is snacking only, and expensive, so drive a mile down the road to the Navy Exchange for an awesome food court open to all the public.

We also drove to the East shore, and it is beautiful. If you can go to Kailua do so, but it was a small detour out of our way to and from the Polynesian Cultural Center. You simply must take the LikeLike Highway from Waikiki area towards Kailua, and the Cultural Center. This is a gorgeous drive through the mountains towards the east shore and just gorgeous! The shore drive NORTH up the eastern shore towards Brigham Young Hawaii Campus and the Polynesian Cultural Center is narrow, winding, and only two-lane, but is gorgeous! You can stop on any of these clear, blue beaches and can’t go wrong. The waves are a bit higher here, water saltier, and sand washes onto you along with the water, but hey, it’s beach! Hawaii, our 50th State, a beautiful paradise, and an amazing destination to visit if you can. You will not regret it. We only visited Oahu, but hope to return soon to visit the other islands. Mahalo, Hawaii, and all its residents, til we meet again.

Chipotle’s Sofritas have come to Colorado- try it today!

Posted on October 18, 2013 by getcluedin

TM registered- Chipotle

Chipotle has rolled out its Sofritas in Colorado. Sofritas are compromised of shredded Hodo Soy tofu (non-GMO) braised with chipotle chiles, roasted poblano peppers and spices. I don’t eat meat but I hear the texture is just like meat, and personally, I loved the flavor! It is mildly spicy (not overwhelming), and the spices flavor this vegan protein quite well. Being a vegetarian, I am very excited about returning for more!

sofritas inside soft corn shell

Sofritas was introduced in Chipotles in California last year as a test market, and has finally made its way east to us. So yummy! I had the opportunity to try it out* and I chose to get mine in the tacos. I tried it with 2 soft corn shells, and 1 flour. What a yummy vegetarian, protein-filled lunch, and the price in most Denver markets is only $6.24 for three tacos, a giant burrito, or you can still do the naked bowl. You can add all the same toppings, and ingredients to this vegan alternative to meat. I topped mine with black beans, cheese, lettuce, brown rice, and my choice of salsa, and sour cream. Unlike the veggie burrito/tacos, guacamole is extra when you order the sofritas.

*Required Disclaimer: I was offered a free Sofritas (value of $6.24) coupon to try this item out. This did not influence my post, and the review is honest and based on my personal experience with the item.

Fall in Colorado – there’s nothing quite like it!

Posted on October 16, 2013 by getcluedin

I posted about Fall before- it is my favorite season of all, but not until I moved to Colorado. I grew up outside of New Orleans, and while I love my hometown, seasons tend to blend, and you roll from one to another without really noticing. I have lived many places – the mid-west, Europe, and states in the Southern U.S., but Colorado has very distinct seasons, and the most noticeable, for me, is Fall. The great thing is you don’t have to venture far to notice all the beautiful colors, and changes. You can experience beautiful Fall in your own back or front yard, down the street, or just around the corner. My favorite thing about Fall is just driving, and observing that in front of me, noticing the beautiful foliage, often reflecting off the lake which is only a stone’s throw away from my home.

There’s nothing quite like Fall in Colorado. The morning frost starts to linger a bit longer, and when you walk outside in the early morning, you can see your breath. It’s crisp, you feel it, but it’s a dry cold, and my body welcomes the wondrous chill of Fall in the air. When I am outside, I can literally smell that Fall is here from all that is before me- the leaves, the grassy burnt aroma of foliage turning beautiful shades of amber, burnt orange, vivid yellow, while some remain green. Soon, the first snow storm will arrive and all the leaves will blanket the grass beneath the tree, leaving bare branches.

Fall represents so much to me, and always has. The changing of the leaves and the weather is just the superficial change. It helps me prepare for what is to come. For me, since arriving to Colorado in 2002, Fall has generally correlated with major life changes. Like the leaves turning different colors as they mature in the Fall, my life has changed in some major way, always in the Fall. October and November, like the harvest, has brought bountiful change to my life- most wondrous of change. So beautiful and varied the colors of the leaves, so many milestones reflected in each turning shade. From career milestones and promotions, pregnancy, job offers and job changes, major elections, to dating and a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime marriage proposal, Fall in Colorado paints a beautiful history in vivid, bright, and beautiful colors for me- for us.

Now, with our children, we have new milestones, all just as beautiful, vivid colors and different shades and shapes of leaves. Fall in Colorado- there’s nothing quite like it!

Celebrate Choice: Working Moms, At Home or Outside the Home

Posted on October 15, 2013 by getcluedin

I have had just a glimpse of a different life, just a mere taste, and I think it’s time to end the age-old battle between working moms outside the home and those who work so hard at home. It’s a choice depending on life circumstances, and sometimes it’s not a choice, but a necessity for special circumstances. Suffice it to say, celebrate the choice, appreciate where you are in, and just stand still long enough to enjoy it. In this post, I refer to stay at home moms as “work at home moms” because honestly, I do not see what else you call it. These women and men, although I just use the female reference for simplicity of this post, labor at home for their families, and work very hard- cleaning, repairing/fixing things, errands, finances, chores, kids, sometimes homeschooling, volunteering at schools, churches, and hospitals. I refer to moms who work at an office, or outside the home (even if part-time) as moms who work outside the home, but let’s face it, these men and women are juggling all of the above plus the job(s) outside the home. It’s amazing what they can do and accomplish, often on little to no sleep.

I fall into the category of a mom who works outside the home and I can attest to a zombi-ish state on most days. However, over the past two weeks, due to circumstances outside my control, I have had the rare opportunity to get a glimpse of the work at home mom and wife’s life. Unlike maternity leave, though, there was not a newborn at home, both kids were in their respective schools, and the probability is high that I will be paid back for this lost time. During this time, I have come to both understand and respect work at home mommies so, so much more. The days just fill up, and there’s sometimes not enough time to do it all! And add to that, one, two, three, or more kids at home, school drop-offs and pick-ups (no aftercare), and perhaps even special needs children, and voila! These mothers (or fathers) don’t just work, they work their **** off! I don’t know how you do it all, but I completely am in awe. It is a non-stop day, and you wake up the next day and the next and you get to do it all over again.

Sure, working outside the home is no picnic either. The commute is awful, the work is often piled sky high, and my home looks like a tornado ripped through it all the time. But I get a little distraction or escape daily. I can shut my office door, get my work done, and I can sip my coffee whilst I read and reply to the countless e-mails in my inbox. I am interrupted by a knock on the door by colleagues with whom I can have pleasant adult conversations with, and then still return to my work undaunted. Sure, there are crazy emergencies, and deadlines, but I get to control them and I get to choose how I react to the stress. I can either let it overwhelm me and freak out, or just get it done. I use my lunches to either workout, run errands, or eat lunch peacefully at my desk whilst knocking some work out.

A work at home mommy with kids at home can’t often control what is going on around her and has to simply react. She has to structure play time, learning time, keep doctor’s appointments, pay bills, manage household finances, shop for groceries, run errands, and keep her sanity. The knock at her door is often while she is trying to escape to use the restroom or shower in peace. She often can’t return to what she was doing undaunted. As I can attest, she often eats her breakfast or lunch standing up while serving others, if she eats at all. I have literally had to take breakfast with me and eat it in the car while doing drop offs. Forget about running errands in peace if the kids are at home. Activities with kids are exhausting because you’re watching them, helping them, and not really distracted or engrossed in something fun (other than your smart phone). Granted, those are the moments working outside the home mom really misses, and often cries at work because she can’t be at the park with her daughter after 3 p.m. pick up. It’s a choice, and often a hard one. It’s sometimes not a choice if finances are at issue, or she’s a single mommy, but it doesn’t take away how hard it is for working outside the home mom.

Work at home mommy has a hard time breaking away for even a coffee break. The entire day is planned for her. If all her kids are in school, she has a chance to do something fun with friends, but her friends are all in the same boat, so scheduling is tough. Often, work at home mom finds herself living Groundhog’s Day- different week, same routine. Cleaning bathrooms and rooms 1-2 one day, kitchen and flooring on day 2, and basement on day 3 (or, some other order). Dishes are always part of the daily routine. The following week, this repeats in some form or fashion. Add in there menu planning, and cooking and shopping for the ingredients. She may have time to work out only if her kids are not there, and even then it is a luxury. Chores are still chores, and errands are errands, but work at home mommy has an advantage that work outside the home mommy does not have: She can always be present. She is there! When the school calls, she can run there. When something was forgotten at home by little Joey, she can run it to the school, or just be more present at the school and in her kids’ lives. She is there when they get on the bus, get off the bus, or for pick up and drop offs, and after school care is provided by the best care provider ever – her! This makes me jealous and a bit envious of work at home mom. Don’t get me wrong, work outside the home makes time for her kids too when she can, and she cherishes those moments too. She volunteers for field trips and classroom parties at the school when she can, and she always schedules doctor’s appointments too. It’s just that some weeks, work outside the home mom will be out of town, or she has to schedule around work commitments, so her schedule is more unreliable than work at home mom. And if work outside the home mom is as lucky as I have been with my employer and my supervisors, she has a lot of flexibility, but work outside the home mom feels guilty when she has commitments at work and has to miss something for her kiddo. Likewise, she feels bad or feels she is letting her colleagues and others down when she can’t be at a work because of something for her kiddo. It is literally a two-edged sword. Work outside the home mommy is always packing her bags and going on a guilt trip no matter what.

There are pros and cons to both lifestyle choices, but it is what it is, and it’s best to find silver linings in what you are present in now. Know that no matter what you choose, someone will be in awe of your choice even if you are not. There is still so much judgment about work at home mommies, and it’s just wrong. They don’t sit around and do nothing all day. They don’t have all this free time – in fact, the day just flies by before its time for pick-up and after school activities. They are running kids from music lessons, to gymnastics to swim and appointments. Their houses are not always the cleanest, and they don’t need to get lives- they have amazing lives, and they are living in the present. All of us can learn something from work at home mommies.

There is also so much judgment around work outside the home mommies, and this is wrong as well. These women are often working upwards of two jobs, commuting daily, and still balancing and juggling their jobs, parenting, household responsibilities, and all of the other things. They are trying to do it gracefully as possible, so cut them some slack. They are not neglecting their children, nor are their children growing up any less loved than yours. Often, they are loved even more because their parents cherish every second they get with them.

Whether you fit inside one description or another or a totally different one, doesn’t matter. You are a mom and with me, celebrate choice. I have seen the light and it took a forced furlough for me to understand what my life could be like if I made a different choice. If you feel you need to change things, try to imagine yours differently and you may appreciate how the other half lives. But, more importantly, hopefully, it will remind you that wherever you are, whatever choice you made, you are living an amazing life and doing the best you can do! You are where you are supposed to be! If you are not, don’t be afraid to change it. For now, celebrate the choice you made, celebrate the choice I made, and let’s be on the same side.
