Eat Pray Love on DVD [Giveaway]

I didn’t start blogging until I was in my early 40s. I’ve always journalled, but didn’t start a blog until I had to do one for a graduate class. I’m no stranger to what would have been called “keeping a diary or a journal” in the Dark Ages before the Internet. Yes…I wrote in...

Hop on Over to the White House Easter Egg Roll

I tried in 2008 when my son was 5. I’m not sure why I never entered before. Probably we were not available on the day. But, by ’08 I was bound and determined to enter. What am I talking about? Why, the White House Easter Egg Roll. That was back in 2008. I entered...

In true Musings from Me fashion, last year’s summer vacation was thrown together at the last minute. I knew I was going to BlogHer, but the details were very sketchy. At the beginning of July, all I had was a ticket and a hotel room. By the end of July, I had decided to...

Holiday Gift Guide: GeoMag, the Kid Magnet

I thought I was so CLEVER. The large box arrived before the holidays. I stashed the box in the corner of the kitchen. With the family calendar and bulletin board up on the wall, I knew that no one would notice a box on the floor. Add an overflowing magazine rack and small computer...
