It’s Fan Appreciation February!!! We love our listeners, and all through the month on the Musing Mommies Podcast, Kim and Dawn will be chatting it up with several of our loyal fans! YAY!! Unfortunately, this week, an unexpected illness kept our first guest from being able to chat with us, so we were left without a topic for the show. But, never fear!!! The Mumos would never leave you hanging! Playing a game of 20 questions, Kim and Dawn let you in on a little more of their sparkling personalities. Listen in to find out answers (and why we look ridiculous in these photos)!

Musing Mommies Podcast Episode 141 Monday January 30th 2012

You are wandering through the grocery store, tossing the usual items in your cart when you spy a new item on the shelf that catches your eye. “Healthy!” it says. “Good for you!” it shouts. “Made from all natural ingredients!” it proclaims. So you toss it in the cart because you think you are making a healthy choice. But are you? Do you take the time to check the label, or do you trust that the dirty brown recycled packaging tells the whole truth?

This week the Musing Mommies Podcasters, Kim and Dawn, talk about what we really put in our grocery basket and what steps we take to make sure we are feeding our families the best possible foods we can afford. Tune in to find out what we think about what is in YOUR cart!

Also MuMo Dawn and Kim review Kristi Yamaguchi’s newest book It’s a Big World Little Pig.

It comes in all forms, it effects us all, we all do it and we all, at one time or another, either admit to it or deny it. What is it? Well, if you read the title, you already know – but I will tell you anyway.  This week on the Musing Mommies Podcast, Kim and Dawn “take on” LAZINESS.

Musing Mommies Podcast Episode 138 Monday January 9th 2012

We all have those friends – the ones that fill our Facebook news feed with the latest big purchase they’ve made, this month’s vacation photos or yet another achievement by their perfect kids. And while we love to see their beautiful photos and cheer on their little darlings, sometimes it becomes overwhelming and we start to feel…inadequate.  Sometimes, a blog post about a gourmet style home cooked meal makes our mac-and-cheese with hot dogs seem less than decent.  And when we look out over the top of the laptop and discover that our own kids have trashed the house beyond recognition, up pops a photo of someone’s perfectly immaculate living room…It’s no wonder many of us deal with insecurity.  This week on the Musing Mommies Podcast, Kim and Dawn discuss what makes them feel insecure, and how they deal with it.

Musing Mommies Podcast Episode 69 Monday July 27th 2010

We are now entering the home stretch of summer – vacations have been had and school supplies are out in the stores. Shoot, you can even find holiday decorations sneaking out of their summer slumber and gracing the store shelves with their temporarily quiet presence. But even with everything seemingly winding down, there is still something we can all enjoy for at least a couple more months.

Summer Food!

Vegetables and fruits are at a peak right now! Keep your house cooler by bypassing the oven and grilling outside instead. Cool off with a tall glass of fresh brewed iced tea.

This week the Musing Mommies are talking about summer foods.  And more importantly, Kim and Dawn are so excited to team up with an amazing set of bloggers and podcasters to talk about all the great things summer can bring. After you listen to us, please check out some of the amazing folks from the list below!

And, enjoy your summer!

Until next time,
~Kim and Dawn

Hey Musing Mommies! How do you wake up in the morning?

Well, if you are anything like me, you get up, pour the kids a bowl of cereal or hand them a yogurt smoothie and then you curl back up on the couch for some horizontal parenting!  Or, if you absolutely must keep your eyes open, you pour yourself a big steaming hot cup of coffee!

mmmmm coooooffeeeeeeeee! *drool*

Well, whatever it is you do, as always the Musing Mommies Podcast has you covered! This week, MuMos Kim and Dawn interview the hilarious inventor and mompreneur Jamie from the Straw-lution!
