Seizing family time one dinner...game night...movie at a time.
Powering Down
What started as a busy day. Volleyball tryouts. Swim team practice. Soccer game. Ended as a lazy day. We are all about extremes in the Musings from Me family. All go or all stop. Today was a mix of both.…
Seizing Family Time with New Dip’ems from @kfc_colonel
I’m not ashamed to admit that when my children were babies, toddlers, and preschoolers I LONGED for them to go to full day school. The school bus would appear on our street each morning and afternoon. As I was talking…
A #Sandy Update, Roundup of Musings from Me for the Week of End of Oct./Beginning of Nov., and Winners!

A Roundup of Musings from Me: Week of October 21, 2012
So how did the week treat you? Ready for fall? Stocked up with candy for Halloween? Fall is busy for us. I’m hunkered down in my office much of the day. On the road in the mornings for car pool…
My Son Is the UltimateSkylandersFan #Skylanders
My son IS the ultimate Skylanders fan. How do I know this? He plays the game whenever he gets the chance. He talks about Skylanders all the time. He knows miniscule details about Skylanders that he tells us…and then quizzes…
