Standing Ovation for Alisha found Eden!

February 19, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

AlishaandEden @meredithspidel

Have you guys seen the hysterical singing genius of Alisha found Eden?  When I first saw their parody, Mom of the Year, I was in complete awe.  How are these ladies so talented, so funny, and so darn capable of nailing how I’m feeling?  I fell in love.  Check out what I’m talking about: Blown away […]

Directionally-Challenged

February 15, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

directionally challenged @meredithspidel

My husband and I sometimes have slight miscommunication about directions.  GPS has made this so much smoother, but we’ve still got our hang-ups.  The primary issue is that I explain things in a way that makes sense, and he only confuses the situation more by using fancy terms like streets, routes and road names.  The […]

Love Around These Parts

February 13, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

It may not be all roses and chocolates around here, but there is love that lasts. Here's how my family and marriage define Valentines' Day--with all the real stuff to go the distance.

This season of hearts and flowers probably has a lot of us thinking about love.  At the very least, it’s got us panicking in the card aisle of the grocery store while we grasp to pick out a sweet card for our hubbies while shoving fruit snacks at our kids to buy a few extra […]

@chanceofwine Cloudy with a Chance of Wine

Dani from Cloudy, With a Chance of Wine needs no introduction.  I’m sure she is already topping all of your reading lists, and I adore this gal.  She’s hysterical.  She’s smart.  It is a daily struggle not to spit up my coffee when I read her posts because I’m laughing so hard.  Dani is just […]

The Assault of the Beard

February 9, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Some gals totally dig facial hair on their guys, which is cool, but I’m just not one of them.  Not my cup of tea.  As fortune would have it, I landed myself a man who is all in favor of tossing the razor to the wind come fall.  Oh joy. At some point September-ish, the […]

Are YOU a Mom of the Year?

February 4, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I'm a Mom of the Year badge @meredithspidel

What does it mean to be a Mom of the Year?  Where does this name come from?  And how, on God’s green earth, did I earn this title? I started honoring myself with this title pretty early on in my parenting journey, so it felt like a natural extension to make it the name of […]
