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.
~Kim

Welcome welcome! I know it’s a coffee thing but make mine iced! It’s about 73 out there right now with the wind blowing hard. If you haven’t taken your antihistamine I feel bad for you cause CEDAR FEVER has hit and it’s making it hitting hard right now. I have a headache just listening to the wind out there. I hope I’ve taken enough to keep it at bay.

This week actually went really fast for me.  DD’s school musical, Willy Wonka Jr, is tonight and tomorrow night. She had rehearsals Tues, Wed, and Thurs. It’s been a different kind of week. I started off with a meal plan on Sunday which worked very well. Monday night we talked with Laura from OrgJunkie.com and I was inspired to get more organized. I have ideas and even though I didn’t do as much as I’d like to I’m still on a roll.

Can I say that the 30 day shred from Jillian Michaels is HARD? Not so much the moves and exercises but the soreness of my quad after for oh about 4 days! Whew, gonna try again, but dang, I’d like to be able to walk , sit and stand without wincing!

I’m really getting excited about out show (podcast) I’ve lined up some really fun interviews and a few joint podcasts with some great podcasters. And our listener ship is going up. That is so very exciting to me.  Our listeners are sharing us!!! YAY. Thank you to all that have shared our little show with your friends.  So that’s what’s going on around here. I’m off to check and see what you all are up too.

Until next time
~Kim

Hi everyone!

Like Kim said, the weather here is crazy gorgeous this week! Oh man, I am dreaming of spring! Sadly, this is probably the closest we will get to spring as around here; we go from freezing winter to 100+ temps most years.  I did a bad thing and stopped in at Lowe’s this morning to look in the garden center.

They have all their spring garden stuff out.

So, would one of you lend me about $200?? Please?

I am so excited about my spring garden, and I desperately need to sit down and figure out what I am going to do this year.  The planting time is just around the corner!

Hope all you west-coasters are keeping above water, and our eastern friends are staying warm.  If any of you need a break, the Musing Mommies would love to visit with you here in sunny Texas!

I look forward to visiting with you all this weekend! Have a good one.

~Dawn

Happy New Year Musing Mommies!

It’s the first show of the year, and Musing Mommies Kim and Dawn are looking to start things off right.

Except, Dawn is sick. boo!

Ok, so the MuMos had to Skype their show this week, because MuMo Kim is afraid of a teeny little germ.

But that’s ok, because the Musing Mommies are dedicated to bringing you a show every week, no matter the issue.  This week Kim and Dawn discuss their goals for the year.  The theme for 2010 is Organization! Listen in as they discuss their goals and plans and how they are going to make it all work.  And make sure to fan the Musing Mommies on Facebook, so that you can participate in our daily challenges!

Start your 2010 off right too, by tuning in to the Musing Mommies Podcast!

Until next time,
~Kim and Dawn

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
