THIS is Motherhood

The Mom Cafe button @themomcafe @meredithspidel

Chris Carter of The Mom Cafe has captured my heart.  Her genuineness and kindness reinforce that online friendships can be things of significant and true blessing in our lives, even in some ways that real life relationships can’t.  I often long for when we can meet up for a good chat, followed by a lovely glass of wine and […]

For the love of God, get the lady a book!

May 6, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

The plan was not to even mention my mother on the blog this Mother’s Day week.  Sometimes, after a certain amount of sadness, I just don’t like being sad any more.  And sometimes, if I’m going to feel sad, there is something less personal about blasting my feelings to the entire blogosphere? But then it […]

CalibamaMOM of the Year

@thecalibamamom blog button @meredithspidel

I feel lame introducing Nancy from Calibamamom because she is one of those groovy people would could just hit the stage all on her own and have you all laughing within seconds.   She is hip, witty, GORGEOUS, and knows how to laugh.  She is the perfect person to kick off this weekend with, and […]

The Dishes Can Wait; It’s Time to Find the Funny!

April 30, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

It’s that time again, friends.  The very first Wednesday of the month.  Finding the Funny is here and it’s your free pass to ignore that pile of dishes multiplying in the sink and just laugh the morning away.  Link up your own funny posts and check in on some others.  The only rule?  Have fun […]

Action Reation @meredithspidel

So there I was.  Feeling completely Mom of the Year-ish after successfully moving my son from 3T into 4T clothing.  All you non-kid people just skimmed over this sentence without blinking.  The rest of you understand why I was fully expecting the equivalent of the Publisher’s Clearing House Prize truck to pull up in my […]

Brush with Fame and a Birdbath

April 25, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

#peealone book signing @meredithspidel @binkiesandbrief @4godssakeboys

I 100% promise to shut up about last week’s book signing after this post, but one last shout-out…The thing is, my one brush with fame in this life was just a little too fun.  Nothing makes you feel quite so rockstar like having people wait an hour to get your signature.  Oh yeah, this actually […]

Why I am The Mom of the Year

April 23, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Mommy, for Real badge @mommyisforreal @meredithspidel

Steph over at Mommy, for Real is a whole bag of coolness.  Her wickedly sharp sense of humor is enough to draw me in time and time again, and I admire her so much because she is smart.  She has a gift and she knows what she is talking about!  I love her blog tagline […]

Free Diapers AND Some Sweet Sleep?!

April 21, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Pampers Baby Dry #PampersBabyDry

Take a moment this Sunday and drift into fantasy land with me…free diapers AND nights full of restful sleeping kiddos?!  I know, I know.  I’ll stop before this gets too out of hand and we totally lose ourselves in the potential bliss. Pampers is working to make this dream a reality with their Baby Dry […]

Grocery Store List and the Good Whiskey

April 19, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I am sitting here, taking advantage of the first nap my son has taken in 2 months and writing this blog post.  I should be writing my grocery store list, schooling laundry and sucking ground-in animal crackers from the carpet with the vacuum.  Who am I kidding?  I have a dog–he can get the crumbs, and I’m […]

Wife of the Year

April 17, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Migraine Mommy preschool pick-up @meredithspidel

I have a very good husband.  Let me scratch that.  I have an amazing, wonderful, salt-of-the-earth husband.  I know I will never be able to keep pace with him, so I don’t even try.  He’s even cooler because in more recent times, the poor guy has had to put up with so much “charmingness”. Most […]
