Women Who Pin

August 9, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Cognitively I understand that I have two X chromosomes myself.  Still, women make me nervous.  Especially women who pin.  I should clarify:  I pin.  I even occasionally take a stab at something I pin, but I’m not up every morning at the crack of dawn pressing wood pulp into homemade paper towels or recatalouging my CD collection by […]

Stop Holding Your Breath

August 8, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

As I’m still waiting for my bestie, Mindy Kaling, to call me up and invite me over for her next Girls’ Night Out, it occurred to me that it may indeed be time to grow up and acknowledge a few things in my life that will probably never happen.  Or, she may just be busy […]

How I Earn My Sushi

August 7, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

So monetary and caloric restrictions being what they currently are in my life, I have basically sworn off eating out/fast-food/take-out/etc.  However, sometime recently, after discovering that sushi existed and was super-yummy, I developed a new vice: grocery store-brand sushi. Listen, this stuff is waaaaay better than it sounds, trust me.  Here’s the thing–going out to […]

The Olympics: The Monday Review

August 6, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I know, I know–how many times can I beat a dead horse?  After this post, I promise to only mention The Olympics in passing and not dedicate any future entire posts to The Games–at least until Sochi in 2014 ;).  But I’ve gotta give London a break-down.  Obviously, I’m in love with The Olympics and […]

Sister’s Day

August 5, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Yes, Sister’s Day actually exists–and it’s today.  I looked it up b/c I am basically eternally floating in a blissful “I love my sister” state, and I figured there had to be a day to celebrate.  This post is nothing but a pure shout-out to how much I adore my sister and how grateful for her I am. […]

11 year anniversary

August 4, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

We completely ace out anniversaries around here.  Last year, for our 10th, we went big and stayed up all night–granted, it was with a sleepless 2 week old newborn, but hey, let the record show we rocked out the wee hours 😉  So honestly, I have no idea how crazy things will get for our […]

Weighing the Priorities

August 3, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My son had colic when he was a newborn.  The “really awful, screamed for stretches of 48 hrs. straight, fussed around the clock, and never slept for more than 20 min. at a time (and then only if you held him)” kind of colic.  It was truly the darkest time of my life.  And then, […]

The Sunshine Award

August 2, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

When two of awesome fellow bloggers nominated me for the Sunshine Award, it was definitely time to get on board and pass this very cool award along!  This award is great because it’s purpose is to “positively and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere”, which is always a good thing!  Personally, I can use all […]

Guesting on Confessions of Semi-Domesticated Mama: Letter to My Teenage Self

August 1, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

You’ve heard me rave before about the very awesome Delilah at Confessions of a Semi-Domesticated Mama.  This summer she is hosting a cool guest-post series Letters to My Teenage Self.  As you might imagine, this can open up a Pandora’s box of nostalgia.  I had so much fun writing my post.  Head on over there […]

You Know Mommy is on a Diet When…

July 31, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

All of you who have ever dieted (so, okay, everybody except those naturally scarily skinny people we don’t like anyway), will get this.  Mommy is trying to diet, and it’s not necessarily a pleasant time for anybody in the house.  I’m all for accepting your body as it is, but I had really reached an unhealthy situation. […]
