Art on the Cheap

February 10, 2014 By Meredith 46 Comments

God love Alisa for coming to us in the midst of this horrid chilly winter mess, and giving us something else to think about.  Why do I love this post so much (despite the fact that Alisa outs herself as a crafter)?  It’s in no way sponsored–it’s just a really neat way she figured out […]

The Funny Before the Flip Side

February 7, 2014 By Meredith 16 Comments

Lest you live in one of those more modern parts of the country where you have fancy things like power and heat, around these parts, as I write this, we are without such amenities.  I whined about the weather on Wednesday, yet things have since taken more of an Apocalypse-now turn.  Let’s just say it’s […]

When the Zippers Crap Out

February 5, 2014 By Meredith 26 Comments

Winter is adorable. Totally, utterly adorable in all its snow-covered death trap roads and sub-zero temps.  Listen, I would be all over taking my kids out to frolic in the snow if my fingers didn’t instantaneously go numb whenever I opened the door.  Raynaud’s Syndrome in these chilly months?  A total peach.  Not that I […]

Shiny White Teeth? Yes!

February 3, 2014 By Meredith 36 Comments

When SmileBrilliant wanted to send me a teeth-whitening system, I was all “twist my arm”.  Not that I’m paranoid about my yellowish teeth at all… You see, Mike from SmileBrilliant was patient with me.  He was kind.  He encouraged me to participate and followed up when my whole consumed-with-the-holidays situation left me a bit sluggish […]

Cue up the Dance Music!

February 2, 2014 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I’m so proud of all the amazing things my sister-in-law, The Modern Ballet Pianist does.  It is truly a breathtaking experience to witness her perform in front of a piano.  Beyond her sheer genius as a musician, seeing her apply all of her business savvy and creativity to her new venture just makes me puff […]

Penny Jules Turns 1!

January 31, 2014 By Meredith 48 Comments

Alright, you may have heard me rave about Penny Jules once or twice before. That’s because you’re obsessed with her, Meredith. Okay, I am obsessed with her, but for excellent reason.  Heather, the gal behind Penny Jules, is rocking the socks off the jewelry world.  You see, she makes all of her own stuff.  And […]

Commercial Break

January 29, 2014 By Meredith 25 Comments

Who loves commercial breaks?  No one, unless you have to pee or they’re the fantastic ads aired during the Superbowl. But commericals are a bit of a sticky wicket because they are necessary.  If you want to see your nifty TV shows, you’ve gotta pay for them somehow (and unfortunately, the right arm you donated […]

And So She Writes…

January 27, 2014 By Meredith 31 Comments

Sometimes I get asked how I write.  (Not that often, really, because let’s be honest–who actually cares?). But wait–what?? What do you mean, “how do I write?” Like, there’s supposed to be a method?  Shoot, I knew I was getting this whole thing wrong… Basically, when I realize I have a post or an assignment due, I maturely […]

Dog-Sitter of the Year

January 24, 2014 By Meredith 18 Comments

Recently, a friend asked me watch her dog while her family took a vacay down to Disney.  No problem. Then a week later, another friend asked me to watch her dog while her friend took a vacay down to Disney. We’re on it. Consider our house the vehicle to making Magical Kingdom dreams come true for the […]

The Cookie Jar Parable

January 22, 2014 By Meredith 32 Comments

In this world, it can be a little tricky to meet people you connect with.  Finding those kindred spirits?  What a rare gift. I can’t say how blessed I feel that my path crossed with Stephanie Giese, the powerhouse behind Binkies and Briefcases, a while back through this blogging world.  Steph is a breath of fresh […]
