Looking for a safe alternative to Facebook for your tween?
Every so often I try a new product. I might be strolling the aisles at Costco. I’ll see a sample kiosk. If I have my children with me, we ALWAYS stop. No questions asked. I’ll stand while my children take a sample. If there are enough samples left, I take a sample myself. I’m...

Way, way back when my oldest was born, going out was a snap. Dinner? Movie? Dinner and a movie? No worries. I’d pack her and her diaper bag. I wouldn’t pack my daughter in the diaper bag, of course(!), but I’d pack practically every other baby gadget, gizmo, you name it. With everything packed,...

![Binging and Purging, But in a Good Way [Giveaway]](http://www.musingsfromme.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Sams-Club-150x150.jpg)
Over the past few months, I have purged, recycled, consigned, and moved a ton of stuff from our family room. I’m about to declutter the dining room office. Early last year I tackled the playroom. The year before last, the master bedroom was on my hit list of rooms to declutter. Some days I...

I’m not a born and bred American. I grew up in a country where Americans were always called — affectionately — Yanks no matter if they lives in Texas or Alaska or New York City.

Yesterday I was lamenting the nonappearance of the dinnertime fairy. Wouldn’t it be lovely to have a little fairy swoop in. Come up with a dinner menu for the week. Buy the food. Cook the food. Set the table. Clean up after the meal. In short do everything. Aaahhhh, a mom can dream can’t...

Where oh where are you? When are you coming to cook? My family would love to see your wand, sparkly dress, and most of all your wings. I can just see you floating in to the kitchen. Maybe via back door when a kid comes home from school. Perhaps you’ll live in our home...

I have come to terms with my love affair with food. For as long as I can remember I have loved food. It is both a joy to me and a curse. Over the years, I have learned to eat in moderation. I’m not happy, but eating in moderation is a step in the...
