The Musings from Me Family and Hunger Games #seizingfamilytime
I was late, very late jumping aboard the Hunger Games train. My Teen bought the books from the school book fair in 7th grade. She’s now in 10th. She’s quite a trendsetter with books. She read through the Junie B.…
Nothing Compares to the San Diego Zoo
On last summer’s Musings from Me trip to southern California, we did it all! Dad and the kids toured Sea World and relaxed on the beach, while I did my thing at BlogHer. While I was very happy to go…

Spiffing up Weeknight Dinners #BertolliMealSoup
Not so long ago, if the clock struck 6 in our home you’d know where to find everyone. Dinnertime was a given in our home. We would gather. Eat. Share about our day. Have talks about school or weekend plans.…
