December 3, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

As I sit here, buried under piles of wrapping paper and unsigned Christmas cards while scowling at the UPS man for failing to deliver the packages I ordered yesterday (gosh, why even feel tickled with myself over the free expedited shipping promo code I found??), it has occurred to me that I may have already […]

Crack-er-ing up with October’s Finding the Funny!

October 1, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Welcome October!  Per usual, when on the brink of a new month, I feel bowled over with a sharp sense of where-the-heck-is-time-going??  But listen, this last month wasn’t a total wash.  When thinking back on the days of September, there are some definite highlights that come to mind.  Most of them centered around goldfish crackers, […]

September 3, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I know, people, the summer was rough on all of us in more ways than one.  The endless sweat-soaked days and whacked schedules had their time and place, but the time has come to move on with fall.  While I can’t get back your life-savings you sunk into contastnly supporting the swim diaper industry, I […]

< Welcome to April’s Finding the Funny! Before we start sharing our funny posts, we have a (huge) giveaway! Somehow Easter weekend fell apart for me.  Too many bunnies, too many egg hunts, first time son pooped on the potty (woo-hoo!), moving child to a new bed, cutting son’s hair, attending a super-fun birthday party, […]

Finding the Funny! And a few other good things about March…

March 5, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Step aside, evil winter.  Spring is making some gains and will officially boot your butt to the curb on March 20th.  In the meantime, I refuse to be taken down any further by your nasty, grouchy biting winds and requisite extra 16 minutes required to get the children suited up in hats and mittens any time I […]

I’m Jealous of My Daughter

January 2, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Here’s the thing:  I love my daughter, but I’m pretty green with envy over some parts of her life right now. 1. When she steals the whipped cream out of the refridegerator and goes holes up on an armchair to suck it down, I’m kind of in awe.  Give it up for her speed and […]
