It’s the age old question; “If you could do anything, anywhere and money, circumstance and time were no object, where would you be and what would you do?”  This week on the Musing Mommies, Kim and Dawn explore this question and add to it the dynamic of being your “authentic self”. Don’t know what that means, exactly? Tune in to find out!

Until next time,

Musing Mommies Podcast Episode 123 Monday September 26th, 2011

“Blessed are those who give without remembering, and blessed are those who take without forgetting.” ~Bernard Meltzer

In the same way that a tiny plant can emerge from the dry, hot dirt and live, there are ways to rise above our circumstances and be thankful in times of happiness, prosperity, sorrow and struggle.  This week the Musing Mommies, Kim and Dawn, discuss what they are thankful for.  How do we teach our children to be thankful? How can we show them there is reason to feel blessed and be thankful for what we have, instead of focusing on the things we want? Tune in to find out!

Until next time,

~Dawn and Kim

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

Musing Mommies Podcast Episode 40 Monday December 21th, 2009

It’s week 40 MuMos! The Musing Mommies have been recording their podcast for 10 months now! WOW! We are full term!

This week the Musing Mommies Kim and Dawn discuss the Christmas Spirit.  We all know it’s that time of year; full of twinkly lights and sparkly vampires…oh wait.

Let me try that again…twinkly lights and crinkly wrapping paper, giggles and grins and good cheer.  It’s about neighbors sharing goodies and a kind word; it’s about the friendly one-fingered wave the guy gives you after cutting you off on the freeway…

Oh wait – that’s not it.  Or is it?

Find out what Kim and Dawn have experienced this season, and listen in as we talk to our guest co-host, Shannon about all things holly and jolly.

And uh, there may or may not be some singing… You’ll have to listen to find out!

Merry Christmas from the Musing Mommies!

For your entertainment:

Welcome Company Girls! Come on in, kick off your shoes, and grab a toasty mug.  I’m so glad you stopped by.  Today I am home!  No gym, no piano practice, no swim practice, no grocery shopping just home.  Me and my untidy dirty but soon to be clean house.  Today I work on my house. I must clean this place or we’ll just have to move.  I feel like I’ve been going going going all week.  But for good reasons. I’ve been going to the gym, DD had a pilgrim play, book fair and Thanksgiving lunch at school.  I was involved in all three.  I’m being a good mom this week  DS had a family cooking night with his school that we attended on Tuesday evening.  The kids have so much fun making things and “cooking”.  So this week has been full for me so my house has been overlooked and today is the day it gets some of my attention.

This Sunday will be mine and my hubby’s 12 anniversary.  We’ve lined up a sitter and we’re going out tomorrow night.  Not sure exactly but it will involve food, and  possibly a movie, live music, bookstore, coffee shop or some combination of the four.  I’m excited to have a date night with hubby, it’s been awhile.

I’ve also been WAY excited counting down the days to the “New Moon” midnight showing happening in just 6 days!!!  My Twihard gal pals and I have been planning our tailgating party.  :)  Yes we are total Twinerds and we’re proud!

Musing Mommies have been participating in NaBloPoMo and I’m proud to say we’re doing a great job blogging everyday.  It is challenging and I like it!  I’ve also been participating over at my personal “photography” blog, with a few actual text post thrown in here and there.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

I hope you all have a wonderful, safe and healthy week.

~Kim

Hey there Company Girls!

Hope you all had a great week. Mine has been pretty uneventful.  The kids are driving me nuts as usual.  The baby learned how to climb up on our playscape to the slide platform, and in doing that he has given me mini heart attacks almost every day.

On Wednesday he had an unexplained fever most of the day.  I have no idea why, but hopefully it is not the start of anything.  I can’t handle an illness in the family right now.

Happy Anniversary to my cohost Kim! I wish you many more happy years!

Have a good weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
~Dawn
