Pads, Tampons, and Other Flower Girl Necessities

November 7, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

We are currently at the height of early toddlerhood grabbiness. It’s fantastic. You know how it goes. If it’s anything that can be touched, fondled, chewed on, picked up, put down, dropped, carried, thrown, my 15 mo. daughter is getting her hot little hands on it. And she’s getting her hands on it FAST. At […]

A Voting We Will Go

November 6, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Today is Election Day.  Please go vote. I know, I know.  You’ve got your reasons why it won’t work.  They are probably really good ones.  And maybe you just can’t do it, but give it your best to get to that voting booth today. If, by chance, your hesitation comes from dreading the mess of […]

I Feel…

November 4, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Do you remember those magnets of a bunch of faces, all showing different emotions?  You were supposed to move the open square over whichever mood you were feeling that day. The thing is, in my case, I would need bucketfuls of those little squares to encapsulate how I’m feeling on any given day. Basically, I’m […]

Stopping by from the Mommy Brain Mixer?  Welcome!  I’m glad you are here.  I love Cassie’s sweet blog, Two in Diapers and have been looking forward to co-hosting her weekly link-up.  She never fails to bring a smile to my face, whether with a cute story about one of her kids or one of those […]

Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

October 31, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Life has been a little crazy lately, thanks to fall busyness and pumpkins demanding to be carved? Scrambling like mad to think of a last-minute creative costuming idea that won’t take much work?  Too late to go out and gather up the props for an elaborate scheme? It’s cool.  I’ve got you covered. As I’m […]

Healthy Choice Meals

October 29, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Source Packaged weight-loss dream-come-true.  At least in theory… Every time I am “concentrating my weight loss efforts”, at some point I always get the notion that it would be wise to start eating some of those Healthy Choice,/Lean Cuisine/Weight Watchers/etc. meals.  Unfortunately, for me at least, this is an idea that is far better in […]

Just Say No

October 28, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Somehow in my world of SAHM-ing it, I too often overlook the stay-at-home part.  I could chalk it up as a misnomer, and just throw ourselves into being out and about, but I think this may be a disservice to my family.  As in, I think there is an inherent value in actually just staying […]

The Parents’ Tea

October 26, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

  My son’s sweet preschool recently hosted a tea for the parents.  For any of you who have been reading along with my blog for a while, you understand that my idea of fun doesn’t really include making small talk with a bunch of strange women.  Think: I’d rather beat my head against a brick […]

Mom vs. the Sick Day

October 25, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Imagine it…that blissful first morning when BOTH of your kids are in school.  The elation, the freedom, the…sick kid vomiting all over your carefully laid plans??  This happened to my sweet friend Kari, and I’m honored she is sharing her story here today.  She truly has a gift with words.  I always look forward to […]
