You’ve Got This

January 6, 2016 By Meredith 6 Comments

It happened yesterday. I was having a Tuesday. A Tuesday still shadowed by post-holiday slumpiness and house mess. A Tuesday in January, no less. Why on earth God found fit to throw this horrid month into the year, I’ll never understand. I was stomping fabulously around the house, trying to watch a 4 yr. old, unpack […]

Book Club’s Going Rogue

January 1, 2016 By Meredith 20 Comments

We are so excited to read this new hot pick book! Dig into this best seller with us in our virtual book club. Any and all readers welcome--the only stipulation? Pajamas are a MUST! xo

This past month has been a busy blur of tinsel and cookies and more struggles putting together a My Little Pony castle than I’d ever care to remember. It’s been full, it’s been fun, and Mommy is TIRED, but I’d be remiss not to pause and cherish some of the sweetest moments of the season–those spent cozying […]

For The Mommas Whose Hearts Hurt

December 28, 2015 By Meredith 4 Comments

This was by far my most visited post of the year. It was written in the corners of a desperate, tired afternoon as I fought with my son over reading homework and burned dinner on the stove…I think this is why is resonated so much. I love you, friends. Truly, I love you… Last week […]

One Holy Night

December 25, 2015 By Meredith Leave a Comment

With love and reverence for the true reason behind all the magic of today, I share this repost from last year. Merry Christmas, my dear friends… “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, […]

The True Heart of the Holidays

December 23, 2015 By Meredith 6 Comments

Overwhelmed by trying to make sense of this season? No stress. Here's the one true way to find the heart of Christmas. We've got the scoop on the holiday secret here!

For days, it’s been laid on my heart to share this truth about the holidays. The only sticky wicket? I’m not sure what the truth is. The part I do know? I know clearly that the heart of our holidays do not center around the where, or who with, or how we celebrate the glory […]

Go Get Your Health and Feel Good

December 21, 2015 By Meredith 3 Comments

Bowel pain and difficulties? It's no joke and you aren't alone. Get medical help with a doctor and sort out whether IBS diagnosis and treatment is right for you. Healthy, feel-good living is just a step away with a little healthy communication!

Let’s be real for a minute: these holidays are BRUTAL on our regular routine. If you’re a solid stick-to-the-schedule kind of gal like I am, this wreaks havoc on more than sneaking in your morning shower; the holidays are a definitive one-two punch to your diet. For some, this is a grab-the-antacid annoyance, for others […]
