Finding Time in the Family Schedule

October 16, 2012
By

You look at the schedule. You gaze at it hoping to find an opening.  An open space. A small corner where an activity can squeeze in. After a bit you realize that tweaking won’t work. Rearranging activities won’t work. Looking in to carpools won’t help either. Your schedule is simply too full. So you...

An Easy-To-Use Scheduling Tool and a Way To Earn Money for Schools

I looked at the calendar and my mouth dropped open. I have one starting school in a week and a half and two starting school in two weeks. Question #1: Where did the summer go? Question #2: How will I ever get everything done? This is my 12th year of having a child in...

How To Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular #DWDragonsLive #DC [Giveaway]

It was sweltering day. It was too hot to go outside. We’d been at the pool every day that week. What to do, what to do? Then it came to me! We’d beat the heat by going to a free movie. When we arrived the theater was packed. There were exactly 3 seats left…in...

FedEx SenseAware: Making Sure a Precious Cargo Arrives Safe and Sound

I was talking to a dad at my son’s end-of-season sports party about cycling. As the kids splashed in the pool, we chatted about soccer, our jobs, and our families. And then we started talking about biking. I know nothing about cycling. Aside from seeing cyclists on the country roads near my home and...

Aaaannnd, Scene!

Having a day…you know those days where you can’t hit your stride. You’re not in a crisis. Not stressed out. Just staring at a long to do list and not getting anything done. I’m having a day. The morning started out well…early…but good. By the way, I will NEVER be a morning person. Never....

Virginia Beach: Soaking Up the Sun and More

The beach is THE best place to vacation. How do I know this? I polled a representative group who overwhelming told me that the beach is THE best vacation spot. Of course, none in the group I polled was over 18. None would be willing to pay for a beach vacation. And all are...

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. Lived in seven homes, including one hotel. Yikes that’s a lot of moving! As well as moving, we vacationed all the time. When we first moved to the...

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...

Hooray! We Made It To the End-of-the-School Year!

July 9, 2011
By

The end-of-the-school year was a chaotic, mad dash, harem scarem, crazy mess. Come to think of it the school year wasn’t much better. We raced from homework to activity to school to the sports field. Isn’t it supposed to get easier as kids get older?? Not so in the Musings from Me household. I...

Seizing Family Time at Universal Orlando [Review]

Spinning on the Accelatron at Islands of Adventure. I had an idea about writing a series of posts on traveling to Orlando with a focus on Universal Studios rather than other attractions. You know what I mean… Fueling up with bagels, croissants, Nesquik, coffee, and OJ from Sal’s Market Deli before hitting the parks....
