Well MuMo listeners, it’s that time again. School is starting and the kiddos will be out of the house Monday – Friday (for most of us). 5 days a week of getting up early, 5 days a week of waiting for the bus or dropping off and picking up, 5 days a week of pencils and paper and learning. But that also means, 5 days a week of school lunches!!
What do you do? Do you pack the lunch or let them buy their lunch? This week the Musing Mommies Kim and Dawn talk about packing lunch and give our listeners lots of ideas for keeping it interesting and somewhat healthy.
And we make sure to find a way to incorporate cream cheese in wonderful, yummy ways! (would you expect anything less?)

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me!!
Remember saying that to the bully in school? What? You said it to a co-worker the other day? Wow!
Well, it may have been a great way to cope with the mean things someone said to you at one time, but the truth is, words are more powerful than that. And they can harm you. This week the Musing Mommies Kim and Dawn talk about the power of words, and how we can all learn to be more aware of their impact and how to use them wisely.
Tune in to hear about the MuMo’s struggles with saying the right thing, and teaching our children how to express themselves effectively as well.

Ok, this time I am gonna do it! I bought the Sunday paper, I spent an hour clipping and clipping, I stuffed all the tiny pieces of paper into an organized pocket folder and I am off to the grocery store! Woo hoo, gonna save some money! Right?
Right?
WRONG!
I don’t know about you, but the $.25 here and the $.50 there doesn’t even make up for the $2 I spent on the newspaper! And half of the time I forget the coupon holder or I don’t get around using the coupons until they are expired. I spend more time cleaning out the “organized” holder of all the expired coupons than I spend using the darn things and saving money. There has to be a better way!!
Well guess what Musing Mommies, there IS! This week the Musing Mommies podcast has an exciting interview with THE Coupon Goddess! And what a Goddess she is! You are not going to BELIEVE how much money the fabulous Melanie saves and even MAKES on her weekly shopping trips.
