On my list — my very long list — of things to do once my work eases up and the children’s sports and school schedules become less hectic and I thoroughly clean my house and… Well, you get the idea. The level and sheer quantity of “things to do” will always be a deciding factor...

It was a direct hit. I aimed. I fired. I nailed my target. My target? My then-boyfriiend/now-husband. The location of the hit? The toy aisle at the Gaithersburg Square Toys R Us. My weapon of choice a Nerf Javelin. It is a moment we still speak of…well some of us more than others! I’m...

I thought I knew everything about social networks. Well, almost everything. O.K., O.K., I know a thing or two and that is it. Until one day on twitter when I saw a tweet about Momster.com.

I’m not a shop every day type of person. I shop here and there for what we need. My grandmother grocery shopped every day. I recall my Grandma leaving her house with a leather shopping bag and a fur hat to shop for dinner and for lunch the next day. It was fascinating to me...

The Musings from Me family is now under one rooof. The Lancaster crew got back in last night. The teen and I had a leisurely night and day of peace and quiet before the Richmond group came running in to the house. The house went from “you could hear a pin drop” to “Ow, Ow, my...

Another weekend, another volleyball match. This weekend the teen didn’t just practice she played and played and played game after game. Infact the preteen played as well. How nice to have two kids playing volleyball on the same weekend. Only one small teeny tiny insignificant problem. The girls played in two different states. Neither...

It seemed so straightforward. The 5 of us would head to Disney for the Disney Social Media Moms Conference February 10-13. I would do the conference while Coach Dad took the kid, the preteen, and the teen around the parks. We would meet up at the events put on especially for families. I was looking...

I don’t know about you but I love walking around an art gallery alone. Now don’t get me wrong, I treasure spending time with family and exposing my children to new experiences, but there are always the distractions of who needs to go to the bathroom or who is too tired to walk a step...
