Musing Mommies Podcast Episode 29, October 5, 2009

We live in a fast paced, frantic world.

You’re up at 6 AM.  You do breakfast, pack lunches, dress children, load up the car, do the drop off, run the errands, pick up the kids, change the clothes, head to practice, drive through dinner, change clothes again, attend a game or event, rush home, plow through homework and laundry and cleaning, baths, bed time stories and eventually collapse into your own bed, only to start it all over again 8 hours later. shew!!

Are your kids are in so many activities that you and your spouse have to actually split up the kids just to get them taxied to their proper destinations?

Are all these commitments, these enrichment activities really enriching our lives?

Maybe… maybe not.

This week, the Musing Mommies Kim and Dawn discuss the dreaded, over-scheduling, by speaking with author Ann Kroeker about her new book, “Not So Fast. Slow Down Solutions for Frenzied Families“.  In her book, Ann discusses the art of slowing down – finding your limits, defining what is your personal success, and saying “no”.

This informative, delightful interview will certainly get you thinking.  Come on MuMo listeners – let’s stop the madness!

Until next time,
Kim and Dawn
