Daylight Saving Time ENDS this weekend ~ Don't forget to FALL BACK


For most Americans, Daylight Saving Time ENDS this Sunday, November 3, 2013 at 2 a.m. That means we "Fall Back" to standard time by turning our clocks back one hour. Of course, many of you, like me, will change your clocks on Saturday before you go to bed. 

Because the federal government doesn't require U.S. states or territories to observe D.S.T., residents of Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands won't be changing their clocks. 

Here's a great National Geographic article if you would like to know more about why and how D.S.T. started.

Things to Do in Colorado Springs with your Kids

Now that July is here, summer is in FULL swing. If you have kids, you might be hearing "I'm bored!" or "I don't know what to do!" and that can make you as a parent want to pull your hair out!

I came across this site called My Kids Week and I love it. The website is: http://mykidsweek.com/ and you can find activities to do with your kids from Colorado Springs to Denver. You can look for free events or just any thing. From arts & crafts, sports, music, nature & science and more ~ what a helpful tool!

It's great to have some new ideas of places to go and things to do to keep summer boredom at bay. I hope you find this as helpful as I did.
