How Not Going to BlogHer Ended Up Not Being the Worst Thing in the World

August 6, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

About a week and a half ago, all the people in the world I love descended on Chicago.  Okay, this may be a slight exaggeration.  There were still a few people who didn’t go who are sort-of important to me…like my husband, kids, and such.  But everyone else was at the incrediblyhugefabulousamazing BlogHer conference.  And […]

“Pumping Up” a Little Support for the International Breast Milk Project

August 5, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Breastfeeding is such a tricky, tricky business.  Laden with so much poignancy, opinions, pain, blessings and emotion, I try to avoid discussing it like the plague.  God forbid I add to any hurtful debate.  Personally, I have been on all sides of this coin with my babies.  I have had blissful, joyous experiences feeding them from […]

Anniversary by the Dozen

August 2, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Twelve years ago Sunday, my husband and I said “I do”.  We don’t really go for grand anniversary celebrations around here, but we do celebrate.  Our celebrations may just look slightly different than they did in 2001.  How is a night out unlike those of the early days? 1. We make reservations far in advance […]

Healing in Pieces

August 1, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I have raved before about Kathy from Kissing the Frog.  She is lovely soul with a heart of gold and a true friend in this blogging world.  When she announced her desire to start a Grief Stories series on her blog, my heart broke a little.  I was so touched by her wanting to give […]

Sprouts Consignment Boutique

July 31, 2013 By Meredith 2 Comments

Recently I got wind that there was a new children’s consignment shop in the area, and I promptly fell over in glee.  After my husband rolled his eyes and scraped me off the floor, I made tracks to Sprouts Consignment Boutique in Frazer, PA. I love children’s consignment.  I get almost all of my kids’ […]

My Underwear Drawer Is Empty

July 29, 2013 By Meredith 1 Comment

On the whole I’m neurotic.  I like things to be a certain way, and I like things to be in their place.  As you might imagine, this works out extremely well having a 2 yr. old and a 4 yr. old in the house.  Woo-hoo for Mommy’s mental health. I’m not the type to run […]

The Shorts

July 26, 2013 By Meredith 1 Comment

Friends, we’ve been hanging out long enough that I think it’s time I told you the truth.  There is a third party in my marriage and I’m in love.  In all honesty, I have loved them longer than I have loved my husband. Picture it.  A young gal set off to realize her college dreams […]

I Must Be Doing Something Right

July 24, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

By now, you’ve probably figured out that I am taken with other bloggers who are real.  Give me a gal who preaches the truth any day of the week, and I’m a goner.  Jeannette of Mommy Needs a Martini is one of these super-real writers I’m crushing on and I’m thrilled to have her join […]

Paige Kellerman is in the House!

July 22, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I am feeling a little faint from happiness right now because today the lovely Paige Kellerman is hanging out here, and answering some very pressing questions while I pimp and GIVE AWAY two copies of her new book, At Least My Belly Hides My Cankles.  If you didn’t score a copy in last week’s Summer […]
