Finding Yourself, Frugie-Style
On Wednesday, I shared with you why appreciating beautiful things is important to me (aka how I justify buying the “good” mascara to my husband). The HUGE PART I left out is my gratitude to Rebecca of Frugalista Blog for being part of this process. You see, Frugie has become a mentor to me. Moreover, she […]
Beautiful Things
Several months ago, something weird happened. Very weird. I started to care about myself. It wasn’t a sudden, overwhelming recognition that Meredith, outside of sippy cup provider and snotty nose wiper, existed, but it was more a dull thud of a reminder that some part of her was still hanging around somewhere. The thud grew […]
Game Plan for The Games
One of my happiest memories of our early marriage is holing up in the bedroom of our first apartment watching the Olympics. We channeled in The Games by carefully positioning the rabbit ears “just so”. As long as we didn’t move or breathe too emphatically, NBC came streaming in with only a teensy bit of […]
The Two Cards
We’re simple people around here. Before kids, Valentine’s wasn’t that huge of a deal. Now? Like any parent knows, step aside major holidays, because there is an exorbitant display of glitter-glued heart-shaped cards that need to squeeze their way onto the fridge before it gets ugly. Put down the red construction paper before Mommy gets cranky. […]
Mrs. Stapleton
Every once in a while you get to meet a soul who breaks your heart with sincerity and kindness. Paige Stapleton, more familiarly known around my corner of the world as Mrs. Stapleton, was one such person. Mrs. Stapleton was my son’s first preschool teacher. When my family set off last year to enter the […]
Art on the Cheap
God love Alisa for coming to us in the midst of this horrid chilly winter mess, and giving us something else to think about. Why do I love this post so much (despite the fact that Alisa outs herself as a crafter)? It’s in no way sponsored–it’s just a really neat way she figured out […]
The Funny Before the Flip Side
Lest you live in one of those more modern parts of the country where you have fancy things like power and heat, around these parts, as I write this, we are without such amenities. I whined about the weather on Wednesday, yet things have since taken more of an Apocalypse-now turn. Let’s just say it’s […]
When the Zippers Crap Out
Winter is adorable. Totally, utterly adorable in all its snow-covered death trap roads and sub-zero temps. Listen, I would be all over taking my kids out to frolic in the snow if my fingers didn’t instantaneously go numb whenever I opened the door. Raynaud’s Syndrome in these chilly months? A total peach. Not that I […]
Shiny White Teeth? Yes!
When SmileBrilliant wanted to send me a teeth-whitening system, I was all “twist my arm”. Not that I’m paranoid about my yellowish teeth at all… You see, Mike from SmileBrilliant was patient with me. He was kind. He encouraged me to participate and followed up when my whole consumed-with-the-holidays situation left me a bit sluggish […]
