When the Blog Schools Me

June 18, 2014 By Meredith 28 Comments

Oftentimes there is a lot of emphatic raging related to the blog around these parts: “What the heck is this blogging good for?” “I need clean underwear!” “What the heck is “The Twitter” anyway?” It might be helpful to note that 98% of the time I am the one raging.  I am the one confused, […]

Everalbum’s Got It Covered

June 13, 2014 By Meredith 4 Comments

Pictures. Pictures. PICTURES. Spend just 30 seconds in my home and my obsession is apparent.  Yes, I was the psycho pregnant lady stalk-calling Picture People to make sure I fully understood their membership options six months before my first child was born. I like memories. I like smiles.  And I like things that make me […]

Happy Aunt to Me!

June 11, 2014 By Meredith 24 Comments

Long about a month ago, we were casually hanging around the family dinner table when my sister nonchalantly dropped The Bomb, “Yeah, so we are pregnant and having a baby.” Clatter my fork to the floor, this was HUGE!  A sea of adorable squeeing and congratulations burst forth as we celebrated the fantastic news, but then it was […]

Cole

June 9, 2014 By Meredith 19 Comments

I sent my son off to preschool last year with very little expectation aside from the hope that as a young 3 yr. old he wouldn’t poop in the middle of circle time, or commit some equally horrific toddler social misstep.  When he not only loved his class and his teacher and starting soaking up […]

Blog U is ON!

June 6, 2014 By Meredith 10 Comments

As I write this, I am headed off for BlogU.  In my world, BIG THING.  I have spent months upon months sorting out details like gluten-free alcohol, roommate requests and appropriate-colored badge stickers with Stephanie Giese, Blog U Founder, and the other conference staff.  It has been an honor, and one I don’t take lightly. […]

Living in the Danger Zone

June 4, 2014 By Meredith 6 Comments

  Friends, we need your help.  And a lot of it.  When OTCSafety.org reminded me that June is National Home Safety Month, it couldn’t have been a more timely nudge that my husband and I have some serious safety issues to address in our home. The advice offered at Up and Away to keep medicines out of […]

We Made It to 5!

June 2, 2014 By Meredith 20 Comments

My son turns 5 today.  It’s funny because there are many, many things I thought shortly after he was born, but never once did I think, “We will survive this for the next five years.” He is my gentle child, my kind soul.  The one who tends to be more laid back and accepting of his […]

PACT for a More Comfy Tomorrow

May 30, 2014 By Meredith 75 Comments

Earlier this week I wrote about embracing a thus unknown fashion sense with Stitch Fix.  And while I really do have high hopes of vogue-ing it up a little in the days to come, truth told: as a WAHM of two young ones on any given average day, it is very convenient when my carefully chosen […]
