Swimming in Sippy Cups

July 1, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

“I understand that you are not maliciously trying to ruin my life with sippy cups.” This is one of my all-time favorite personal quotes, as I referenced before.  I said this to my husband one day when the sippy cup scene in our home was just a little too intense.  If you’re not a parent […]

The Automatic Trashcan

June 29, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Just when you think life couldn’t get any more exciting, we went and got a new trashcan.  I know, I know…try to calm yourself.  And this thing is really Something Else–we’re talking full-on automatic.  As in, when I step in front of this thing and wave my hand, the lid pops open.  I throw my garbage […]

A Camping We Will Go…

June 28, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My husband and I thought we were rockstars because we had taken our son camping shortly after he turned 1, and it went beautifully.  It was truly fun, and we had a great weekend (granted, this may have had something to do with him breaking out in mysterious hives and the pediatrician telling us to […]

The Summer It List

June 27, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

In the highly-researched opinion of this Mom of the Year (read: inordinate amount of Us Weekly and Star magazines devoured page-by-page), this is the current Summer It List.  Chime in with your additions, my friends! 1.  Betty White.  Seriously, what is the deal?!  How do you peak at 90?  This reeks very suspiciously of being […]

Guest Blogger Delilah

June 26, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I adore Delilah.  She rocks it out daily over at Confessions of a Semi-Domesticated Mama.  She makes me laugh–a whole lot.  It’s gotten so that when I talk about Delilah at dinner, my husband knows exactly who I mean, even though we’ve never met this awesome gal in person.  When she agreed to guest post […]

Longwood Gardens: The Monday Review

June 25, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Longwood Gardens has to be one of the most perfect places in this world.  All the credit in the world to my friend E for convincing me this would be a fun place to visit with kids almost a year ago–she was so right and I will be forever grateful to her introduction to this […]

On Diaper Changing

June 24, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

It occurred to me that my readers who are not currently rockin’ the diaper changing scene might appreciate an opportunity to reminisce, prepare for joys yet to come, or generally just share in this delightful process.  If you don’t have access to a little one, but still want to join in the fun, here is […]

Guest Posting on Pretty Providence: Budgeting on a Budget

June 22, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Dying to know the inner workings of my family’s finances?  When Jessica and Sarah welcomed me as a guest blogger on their site, Pretty Providence, to share my thoughts about budgeting, I was pretty stoked!  Since I feel like I dedicate, oh about 99.9% of my life “watching our finances”, this was right up my […]
