Bow Giveaway!

May 1, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

IT’S GIVEAWAY TIME!!! If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know how I feel about hairbows.  I would chance to say that it is one of the top reasons I’m happy to have a little girl.  They are just SO DARN CUTE.  The only minor hiccup, of course, is that […]

Picture People: The Monday Review

April 30, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I love love love pictures of my children.  What red-blooded parent doesn’t?  Shortly after my son was born (okay, fine while he was still in utero–I’m psycho.  I stalked, researched, and compared all of the photography joints in the area pre-birth), we landed at Picture People.  In general, I’m fan.  One of my favorite past […]

The Ice Hotel

April 29, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

What is wrong with me?!  I have always wanted to go to The Ice Hotel.  This makes no sense, as I hate being cold and I especially hate being wet.  But I am just fascinated.  The diligence of this abode’s creators wows me–I become grouchy enough just trying to create a livable space in non-icy/potential-to-melt […]

Soap Opera Star

April 28, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

So, so many times I envy the life of a soap opera characters.  Aside from the obvious pluses of perfect bodies, gorgeous clothing, and no apparent need to ever actually go to work, despite being the CEO of some company (as it seems at least 2 out of 3 of the characters are), there are other benefits. […]

Give it Up for 80s TV Shows…

April 27, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My 90s fashion throw-back post seemed to resonate, so I thought we’d take another step-back in time.  Per my (supremely shotty post-childbirth) memory, these are the top ten 80s shows that rocked my world.  Full disclosure: I know I am forgetting some of the good ones, likely some of the really good ones–so please chime on […]

When Your Spouse is Smarter Than You Are

April 26, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My husband interacts with other adults on a regular basis.  This simple fact alone defines very different cognitive lives for us.  After an exhaustingly long day, one night last week we just crashed on the couch after putting the kids to bed.  Something popped into my head that would be great for a blog post, […]

The Bucket List

April 25, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Do I need one??  At first blush, sure, yeah, sign me up, sounds like a great idea.  Now thinking…not so much.  Yes, I pinned and pinned this image blindly away on Pinterest–way to line up fun ideas for my family this upcoming summer, right?  But then after some consideration…not so much.  Maybe my mom dying, […]

Carters: The Children’s Clothing Store From Which We Are Now Banned

April 24, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I love Carter’s.  Fantastic place.  Adorable, sweet, comfy clothes for kids.  In my head, a recent errand run would entail a quick run into the outlet store to return some of the items I ordered for my growing daughter online (Beware: when it says “pink” online, it may actually mean “a blinding neon hue that […]

The Monday Review: Groupon and the Like

April 23, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Hands-down, the most oft-used phrase of my 30s will be: “I have a Groupon”  I’m pretty sure my husband recites this in his sleep because he hears me say it so often.  I love Groupon, Living Social, and the like (Mamasource, Eversave, Plum District, etc.) of such deal-scoring/money-saving sites.  Primarily, I am in love because I […]

Going Green…

April 22, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

…or at least trying to?  I do a lot of things the way I should, but avoiding excessive use of paper goods is unfortunately not one of them.  Is this even possible with kids??  Yes, we soley rock out Reusies (LOVE them) around here while eschewing plastic ziplock bags and all share a “family” wipe-off […]
