You Know Those Food Samples at Costco? #trop50

Every so often I try a new product. I might be strolling the aisles at Costco. I’ll see a sample kiosk. If I have my children with me, we ALWAYS stop. No questions asked. I’ll stand while my children take a sample. If there are enough samples left, I take a sample myself. I’m...

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...

Soarin’ and Screamin’ at California Adventure #seizingfamilytime

My son is a giant. O.K. not quite. But he is very tall for his age. At 3 he was mistaken for a 5-year-old. At 5, people assumed he was 8. Lately, people have asked if my 8-year-old is 10 or 11. What?! Being mistaken for an older kid can be onerous. Especially if...

A Brush with Celebrity After #BlogHer

BlogHer was a whirl. A veritable blur of activity. I had my family with me, which added to the chaos. Although really I was so much in my own world of BlogHer that I hardly noticed my family. I don’t mean to sound like I didn’t care about them. Far from it. I texted...

Is Trip Planning Hard for You? I seize family time any way I can. I seize family time every dinner — movie — game — trip at a time. With a kid, a preteen, and a teen, the sand of time is running through the hour glass too quickly. My teen will be in...

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....

The Customer Is Always Right

July 3, 2011
By

The screaming. The righteous indignation. The bulging veins on the neck. Over the years I have watched as family and friends have fought tooth and nail for customer service to right a wrong. I get it. If you buy an item, attend a show, or eat a meal at a fancy restaurant that is...
