Is there anything more fun than being near the water? As a kid, I have vivid memories of playing at Cheesequake Park somewhere in New Jersey. There was a sandy beach on the edge of the lake. At least I think it was a lake? And was the park actually called Cheesequake Park?! Who...

My children are readers, too. If my children are reading, I want to know what they are reading. Over the years, I have read books to my children…board books, children’s classics, the Magic Tree House series, the Junie B. Jones series, Harry Potter, and more. Once my children were competent readers I transitioned from...

Two weeks ago I had one of those days where I rocked. I made breakfast and lunches quickly. All the kids were picked up or dropped off at school on time. I wrote two blogposts in short order. My day was on pace to be a good one. As the clock struck 12 I...

My husband is a creature of habit. I challenge anyone to find a person more of a creature of habit…he would hate it if I called him set in his ways…not that I would say hat of course… But he’s definitely a creature of habit. If he leaves his comb on the edge of...

Finding a family friendly film can be a bit of a challenge. Cartoon movies are deemed too young for one of my children. Live action movies about volleyball playing dogs don’t appeal to the non furry loving family members, but are much beloved by two children. And then there are the films that are...

The Musings from Me family LOVES books. In fact this past week, we have sorted through books, books, and more books. My husband and I sorted through college textbooks for me and graduate school texts for him. Though it pained both of us, purging was necessary and we now have a small stack of...

One day, the piles around my house were of no consequence to me. I happily stacked one toy on top of the other. I stowed clothes in storage bins. I squeezed between bins of toys to get from one room to another. Stored loads of board games in the toy cupboard. Piled DVDs haphazardly...

These days I’m not surprised by the items on my kids’ Christmas lists. A couple of years ago though, I was caught off guard when my oldest asked for an iPod Touch. She was young…only 9 or 10. Why did she need an iPod Touch? What was an iPod Touch? Would she use it?...
