#OpenSky: Come Stop By My Corner Store!
As a little girl I would walk to the corner shop with my grandmother. It was 1970-something, but really it could have been 1940. My grandmother wore a dress, high-heeled shoes, an overcoat, and a fur hat. Her shopping basket was a wicker basket or plaid shopping bag depending on the season. I hurried... »
Once-in-a-Lifetime Experiences: Feeding Dolphins #OrlandoMom
My younger two children are animal mad. My younger daughter would regularly cradle our friend’s cat as though she was carrying a baby. At 18 months old, she carried a cat that was almost as big as her. My son loves playing with our neighbor’s dog. The teen is more like me…it’s good to... »
Darn! I Missed World Nutella Day!
How is it that I spent my teen years eating Nutella sandwiches after school, but missed World Nutella Day? I can still smell the chocolatey goodness that was Nutella. I had the freshman 15 BEFORE college due in large part to eating Nutella sandwiches and English chips and gravy EVERY day. When I write... »
$100 Smackeroos!
What would I do with an extra $100 if someone handed it to you next month? I would spend the money on my family. Perhaps a dinner out or a movie or something that we could all enjoy together. I should probably spend the 100 buckeroos on myself. Oh, I could get a... »
Worrywart, Yep That’s Me.
I’m a worrier. There I said it. I worry from the moment I wake up until I go to bed. I probably worried when I was a baby…about what I don’t remember, but I am sure I worried! In no particular order my top worrying moments: I worry about the kids when they are home... »
Giveaway: Thanks to My Readers!
I am a lucky blogger. An incredibly fortunate person, seriously. This has been a wild year. A bumpy ride, but in a good way. Oh and I discovered my voice in writing — amazingly gratifying for me. As a former editor, I would critique other’s writing, but never felt confident enough to take a professional... »
Must See Attractions in DC with Preteens and Teens
When the children were young a trip to D.C. was a no-brainer. The zoo or the Museum of Natural History were our top picks. When my son was born we widened our net to include sights that every person living near D.C. or traveling to D.C. should visit. Once our oldest child was around 9 we started... »
Thankful
Today is a day I am thankful for my husband. He doesn’t really understand what I do, but he supports me. He doesn’t blink at the boxes coming in to our house. He doesn’t ask why none of the boxes contain a paycheck. He helps my #notechie self create business cards. On his day off, he made breakfast, played... »
You Smell Like Grandma’s House
We have a joke in the Musings from Me house that my MIL is so intent on keeping the kids clean that she puts the kids in the washing machine. Disclaimer: I only joke about this with my preteen and teen…don’t want to the kid to get any ideas! It is not unheard of for my... »
Play Doh + Marshmallow Eye = Fun!?
Do you ever go back to your online photo albums and search for a photo? I searched and found this photo. I search in the October 2006 folder and found a true Halloween memory! Let me tell you the back story on this beauty… The photo is from 2006. I was in a “my kids... »
