Shut the front door! The Helpful Guide to “Cursing” Like a Mother

October 7, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Do you all remember Alisa who helped us out last month with the delicate art of how to rock a selfie?  Let me recap: I like her so much, I think she’s really funny, and she’s going to be hanging out here once in a while with some very practical how-to tips.  On things we […]

He Heisted the Vlog

October 3, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I think a vlog-crime has been committed.  After seeing my sister make her fantabulous vlogging debut last month, my BIL insisted on getting in on the action.  He thinks he’s funny–because he IS funny–and wanted to take a stab at it.  The thing is, he kind of is just ADORABLE and took over the whole […]

Crack-er-ing up with October’s Finding the Funny!

October 1, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Welcome October!  Per usual, when on the brink of a new month, I feel bowled over with a sharp sense of where-the-heck-is-time-going??  But listen, this last month wasn’t a total wash.  When thinking back on the days of September, there are some definite highlights that come to mind.  Most of them centered around goldfish crackers, […]

A Sad Goodbye to Summer Nights

September 27, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I am not a huge one for sap or intense woe over departing seasons, but there is one thing I am very sad to say goodbye to–those lazy nights around the fireside. You see, my family doesn’t do that much cool stuff.  We are a pretty basic, simple people, who love us some good Duck […]

My Morning with the Moto Jacket

September 25, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I think I need to sit down.  It’s only Wednesday and it’s already been a huge week around here.  On top of getting the invite to my son’s “Preschool Parents Tea” and having an emotional panic attack over this (we all know how well it went last year), Monday I debuted over at Aiming Low […]

Once Upon a Time There Was a Debut at Aiming Low

September 23, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, almost 2 years ago, there was a silly 30-something mommy who knew NOTHING about the blogging world, but decided to put finger to the keyboard anyway.  She was pretty awkward, wasn’t that funny, and would have just been entirely lame…except that blogging sort of saved her.  It gave her a voice […]

When Space is Required

September 19, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Is it too extreme to wish for my own personal bubble suit?  If it could be one loaded with wi-fi and re-run episodes of Revenge, all the better.  When the heck does the new season start, BTW?  The thing is, I just want a second ALONE.  Without someone touching me. My best friend tried to […]

Oversharing, Crazy, AND Exhausted

September 17, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Yay! Today is the day I finally get to overshare with TMI on the personal details of my life over at When Crazy Meets Exhaustion.  Steph is one of those rare creatures who has been forced to meet me in-person, so she is obviously only humoring me out of social obligation. She knows I’m not […]

The Bracelet 2

September 16, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

A while ago I wrote a post called The Bracelet.  That one kind of ripped my heart out and spat it back because it was so poignant, so real, so…honest.  I am a private gal and this one chipped a little too close to the vest, but…I liked it.   It was healing.  I wrote […]
