About Musings of a Housewife
Musings of a Housewife is a personal lifestyle blog about fashion, food, fitness and family travel. Find wholesome, nutritious gluten-free recipes, weekly meal plans, health & wellness tips and fitness inspiration from a recovering non-athlete, blogging tutorials and social media advice, relatable style and beauty posts for the suburban housewife, and reviews of family-friendly travel destinations.
I have worked hard to establish myself as a trustworthy member of the mom blogging community, and I believe that my open and genuine writing style has created an ever-expanding and inclusive community online and on the local and national blogging scenes.
Who Is Jo-Lynne Shane?
A former 3rd grade teacher turned digital mom, I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia with my husband of 17 years, three lively children (ages 7, 10 and 13), and one terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah.
