Musing Mommies Podcast Episode 137 Monday January 2nd 2012

We all have addictions. Some are worse than others.  But what exactly is an addiction, and if we have them, should we do something about it? This week on the Musing Mommies Podcast, MuMos Kim and Dawn discuss some of their addictions and how they cope with them. Or not…

Also, tune in for the latest exciting segment from our friends at Night Light Stories!

Until next time,

Musing Mommies Podcast Episode 49 Monday March 1st, 2010

Hey there Musing Mommies! It is March! Spring is in the air, snow is on the ground…

Wait, what?

Yeeeahh…it’s still cold.  I thought we lived in Texas? What happened?

Well for the rest of you who are used to cold weather in March, I guess this is nothing new, but Kim and Dawn are sitting on their heineys freezing! And then not, and then freezing, and then not…

Oh wait, maybe this is Texas after all!

However, this week on the podcast we won’t be talking about the weather!  The MuMos Kim and Dawn are interviewing a podcasting friend in sunny California!! Los Angeles actually; so please help us welcome Jerilyn from The Because Show!

Jerilyn is an animator in LA and works on many projects you will recognize.  She is also a mom of course and we are so delighted she had some time to chat with us about being a mom in LA.

Listen in to hear all about her life, her wildly popular podcast and her obsession for thrifting! You will be glad you did!

Until next time,
Kim and Dawn

It’s February 1st, January is G.O.N.E. Do you feel more organized? No, me neither. But I feel like I’ve had a good start. Keeping it fresh in my mind is giving me steam to keep going. I know it’s a work in progress because it is such a big project. I know I can do it and I’m sure you can too.
Have you been enjoying the Facebook page daily tasks? Are they helping at all? What can we do to improve on them?

I have another question for you, are you ready? Ok here:
What can the Musing Mommies do to make your life better (that is within our power and within reason)?
What do you need from us?
What would you like for us to talk about?
Is there someone you’d like us to interview?
Do you want to be on the show?
Ok, so that was more than one question, but I’m on a roll
Tell us what you think. We love and need your feedback to make our podcast and website a better thing. Help us out please and give us your thoughts.

We love you and are so grateful for you, our fans.

WOW Coffee with the CGs on the first day of a new year and a new decade?  What a way to start out! Welcome all. Come on in, grab a mug, and sit down to chat for a bit.  These past few weeks have gone by fast. Are the holidays really over? It kinda makes me sad that they are.  I don’t want to take my tree down and put the decorations away.  It’s going to look so bare  I guess that means I have to clean too.

The Musing Mommies are going to start something new. We are going to do our own type of small thing. On our Facebook fan page, we will list an organization tip or task for the day. You can do it or not it’s up to you, but we thought it would help us get a bit more organized and thought we’d share it with all of you.  Let’s make 2010 the year of organization.

What will we start with??? I guess you’ll have to come on by the fan page and see what the task will be.

I hope you all had a safe and happy new years eve and got plenty of sleep

~Kim

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and a great New Year’s Eve.  We didn’t do anything here – I made a bunch of junk food and the kids went to bed at the usual time; they didn’t even know anything was special about the day.  Both kids are sporting a cold, thanks to my mom and her annual Christmas cold, so my oldest was up all night long (and therefor so was I. ugh).  He sounds awful, coughing and gagging and blowing snot everywhere.  The baby slept till way past his usual wake up time, or so I thought, until I went in his room and discovered he had no voice.  Poor thing, if he had been calling for me I didn’t hear it.

This year my goal is organization too, so I hope to be participating in the Small Things over at Rachel’s site more and also doing the Musing Mommies challenges.  The “new year” is such an interesting concept to me, and hopefully I can get a blog post out about it over on my personal blog.  If only I can get rid of this headache first…

Enjoy the coffee and the visit. I look forward to checking in over at your blog as well.

Best wishes for a FANTASTIC 2010!!

~Dawn
