The VonTrapps Take Downingtown

December 11, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

This past Sunday we were hit with a surprise nasty little snowstorm.  I say “surprise” because while the snow was well-predicted, after so many false calls for storms the past few years, no one around here believes the weather people any more. In any case, we were leaving church. I in our beater Honda Civic […]

My Christmas List

December 9, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Gosh, yes, we all know that what I really want most for Christmas is more cuddly time by that gorgeous Christmas tree with my family…or with a book and a hot chocolate while I put in ear plugs and pretend I can’t hear my children.  Same difference, really. But in any case, if we were […]

A Little Seasonal Magic and a Whole Lot of Funny

December 3, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

As I sit here, buried under piles of wrapping paper and unsigned Christmas cards while scowling at the UPS man for failing to deliver the packages I ordered yesterday (gosh, why even feel tickled with myself over the free expedited shipping promo code I found??), it has occurred to me that I may have already […]

Grandma’s Swiss Chicken Casserole

December 2, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Let’s be honest. Asking me to cook? Generally a poor idea. Very poor. But when BlogHer and Campbell’s asked me to whip up a little something with one of their cooking soups, it was obviously Meant To Be, because as it turns out, the one recipe I make well and enjoy making features Campbell’s Cream […]

December 2, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Below, Stephanie Sprenger tells the powerful story below of how she and Jessica Smock met and then came together to publish an original anthology, The HerStories Project, full of tales of female friendships.  The way she talks about their journey is rich, poignant, and will touch your heart.

With Pre-Black Friday Love from Our Family to Yours

November 28, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

The time has come.  While you have read about him for ages, and maybe seen a pic or two, please let me introduce The Husband, or Jared, J, Dr. Spidel, whatever works for you.  In any case, he is a treat.  And we both have very firm opinions about Black Friday shopping, or pre-Black Friday […]

That’s the Magic of Home Depot

November 27, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Previously, when I heard this tagline from Home Depot, I never gave it much thought.  I presumed it had something to do with drills and bits and building houses or some such business.  Probably making people’s dreams come true through a lot of hand-on hard manual labor.  You know, the stuff that I love. (If […]

Neon Fireflies with a Little Seasonal Magic

November 26, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you, but nothing quite floats my boat like holiday shopping.  Finding a treasure online and then buying it for that perfect someone?  Sweet!  Even better if that treasure comes from a small business mama, the kind of business this Mom of the Year’s heart bleeds over.  Amazing finds like Heather, the […]
