Rounding Off Corners

February 1, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Do you remember the lovely Chris Carter from TheMomCafe.com who shared a post here a few weeks ago?  Her message in Where Do I Go From Here? resonated with so many of us, and I have found myself going to back to that post many times to draw some clarity and strength.  Thank you Chris! […]

I’m a Messy Mom and I’m Proud of It

Messy Moms Radio Messiest Mom of the Week @meredithspidel

When my friend Roshni, over at Big A Little a nominated me for Messy Moms Radio‘s Messiest Mom of the Week, I was slightly confused at first.  Sure, I know I’m messy, but was this meant to be an honor?  After checking out the tagline on this site, “Good moms have sticky floors, messy kitchens, […]

They Own Me

Jillian Michaels @meredithspidel

Let me be abundantly clear: Christ and Christ alone truly owns me.  But assuming His sovereignty, there are more than a few earthy things that have a pretty decent hold on me.  I’m all for working to take control of your life, but let’s be honest, these things are calling the shots right now for […]

Falling for Flatout Flatbreads

January 28, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Flatout Flatbread Foldit Walgreens @meredithspidel

Is it possible to say enough good things about sandwiches?  They are so easy, quick and perfect for kids and great for on-the-go.   But I don’t always love the calories that can go along with thick regular bread.  Because of this, I was thrilled to be introduced to Flatout Flatbreads. If you’re in the […]

Love Letter to Summer Days

January 25, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

summer days @meredithspidel

As I sit here, feeling my feet turn into veritable ice blocks in this precious January chill that our heat system can’t keep up with, I find myself longer for warmer days.  Brighter days.  Summer days.  Oh my lost love of sunshine and warmth, where did you go?  More importantly, how quickly can you find […]

Score One for the Drug Store

January 23, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Drug store employee @meredithspidel

Drum roll please!  For the first time since my son was born 3 1/2 years ago, I managed to find my way back into a drug store.  I know, I know, amazing accomplishment.  But something about the narrow aisles and tons of flashy small products within easy reach  seem less amenable to shopping with a little […]

Gambling it all on the Neti-Pot

January 21, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

The Neti Pot @themomoftheyear

Like so many families right now, we’ve been in the throes of Hell Week.  Granted, we may have less of the physical extremism accorded to the Navy SEALS version of this, less of the hazing found in fraternity initiations, and less intensive exams than during college finals, but let me be clear: we’re in Hell Week.  More […]

Giddy-Dancing In My Yoga Pants over at Scary Mommy

January 18, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Yesterday, I giddy-danced the night away after my post, 7 Reasons Yoga Pants Are a Mommy Must, found its way up on Scary Mommy.  She’s a gem, and of course, any chance I can snag to blather on about my beloved pants works for me.  Wish I could promise that this is the last you’ll hear from […]
