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 […]

Get Over Yourself: Wisdom Courtesy of a Two-Year Old

April 21, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

People are always talking about the stuff they have learned from their kids.  Was so proud of myself that in the midst of a food-court-harried lunch I took a quick minute to actually look at my son (vs. just wiping up his spills, picking up fries and providing a steady stream of ketchup).  Here he […]

Christina Hendricks and Will Arnett

April 20, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Object of My Affection #1 Object of My Affection #2 What do these two people have in common?  Absolutely nothing, as far as I know, except they are my two current crushes right now.  Will Arnett has it for me solely on his wicked sense of humor.  Sorry, Amy Poehler (his wife), I know you […]

Busy-Body Stalking

April 19, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My daughter is a definite busy-body.  She has to know everything that is going on.  All the time.  With everyone.  Ask the dear nursery workers that try to give her a bottle every week–feeding her is a nightmare b/c she can’t sit still, God forbid relax into a reclined position to drink peacefully.  In her […]

Outdated Fashion Plate

April 18, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Oh gosh, this is so gorgeous, it hurts! This is a direct shout-out to T, who recently made the off-hand comment, “My wardrobe is so five seasons ago”.  As any Mom of the Year worth her salt and on a budget knows, however, this is all too, too sadly true…I see the gorgeous outfits pinned on […]

What the Heck Was I Thinking??

April 17, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Recently I had Not My Best Day Ever.  I was crabby, cranky, grouchy, irritable, (throw in your own favorite adjective in to describe Mommy At Her Worst)…the thing was, it was all my fault.  WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING?!?  I totally set myself up for failure, brilliantly deciding it would be a good idea […]

Goodreads.com: The Monday Review

April 16, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I have made reference to this before, but I am IN LOVE with www.goodreads.com.  Why?  One simple reason: it helps me organize my life.  I have two “hobbies” in this life: blogging (self-explanatory if you are reading this) and reading.  I over-dramatically envision myself in some sort of intergalactic war in which book titles are flying at my face, […]

Guest Posting on More than Mommies!

April 15, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Give this Mom of the Year some Sunday lovin’ and trek on over to More Than Mommies today.  I was honored when they asked me to be their guest this week on the Sunday Sip, a weekly feature of other bloggers.  Christine and Janene are the brilliance behind this site and these two women are truly the […]

At Least I’m Not THAT Bad…

April 15, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Not the finest parenting moment… C’mon parents, we all know this is our standard.  As long as there is someone else out there that is screwing up this parenting gig worse than we are (or so it at least appears), we can feel pretty good about ourselves.  For me, the most recent self-righteous vindication came […]
