2012: Resolutions and Then Some #Tots2Tweens

Bathroom Talk Is Now, O.K. #CloroxLounge

February 27, 2012
By

The grimace. You know the one that you make when your children says something about the bathroom or anything in the “toilet talk” range of conversation topics. You cringe. You take a sharp intake of breath. You pray that your child doesn’t go off on a rant about toilets, pooping, and any other toilet...

Spiffing up Weeknight Dinners #BertolliMealSoup

You Know Those Food Samples at Costco? #trop50

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...

Let Go Somewhere…Anywhere! #datenight

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,...

Disneyland Fun for All Ages #seizingfamilytime

As a child, we traveled a great deal. I lived in three countries. Attended three preschools. Three elementary schools. Two middle schools. And one high school.

Mixing Business with Family in Southern California #seizingfamilytime #blogher

With a Kid, a Preteen-now-Teen, and a Teen, finding something fun for all of us to do is a challenge. You wouldn’t think so, but it is. Years ago, we could pop in a DVD. Go to a museum. Go out for ice cream. But, then school intervened. And homework. And weekends packed with...
