Green Street Grill

November 4, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I have fallen completely head over heels for Green Street Grill, and I can’t wait to tell you all about this gem of a new restaurant.  See, in our neck of the woods, adorable cafes that serve amazing breakfast can be hard to come by.  And I love, like passionately love, going out for breakfast.  Don’t get […]

Time for some Perspective on Parenting

October 31, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I’m pretty public about the fact that there is very little on this earth that gets me giddy-dancing like a good bargain.  Sales, promos, Black Friday, online yardsaling…I’m there.  So when the chance to get into the presale for the outgrown sale at my son’s preschool cropped up about a month ago, I was beyond […]

“They Don’t Have Food”

October 30, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

When my buddy Jill Smokler of Scary Mommy (I can call her that, right?  I mean, we did hang out over cheese and chocolate, so the basis of a lifelong friendship has clearly been laid…) filled me in on her Thanksgiving Project, I thought, “Dang. This lady is boss.”  Anyone who uses her fame to […]

Keep the Dream Alive: You CAN Take the Day Off!

October 28, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Gah!  Something they don’t tell you before you get knocked up?  You will never, ever again GET A DAY OFF.  You will basically work 24/7 until you die.  I’m so sorry, but it’s true.  What I wouldn’t give to rock a nanny or have grandparents who lived next door sometimes, but true story–I am on […]

I’m in Love with My Husband

October 25, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

This life is so full of challenges and blows. But with this reminder from my husband, I was able to step back and take a look at what really matters on this earth. Here's the scoop on scoring this perspective for yourself.

This may be a very trendy, super-modern Duck Dynasty-esque thing to proclaim, but it’s true.  Here’s the situation: I didn’t have a definitive post required for today’s date (once you get a little far into the blogging world, it’s scary how scheduled things become).  There were a bunch of things I could have/should have written […]

The Mother of All Meltdowns

October 23, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

When my sweet friend, AnnMarie of Tidbits from the Queen of Chaos asked me to check out the new book she was in, The Mother of All Meltdowns, I was all “Yes!!!”.  See, I love AnnMarie, I love reading, and I love pure honest story-telling from real mamas.  Spending some time with this gem of […]

The Stress-Scape

October 21, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

It’s not looking good around here.  Laundry is piled up beyond days, and I have a vague notion of a place called “the grocery store”, but I can’t quite remember what it is.  When I have called my husband at work, sobbing for the 2nd time in a week that “I just can’t keep up”, […]

October Crush

October 18, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

October.  FALL.  The time of leaves, apple scents, and heavy crushing on some new (to me at least) trends.  I am very good at crushing.  Skilled at driving my husband nuts with my latest finds and loves.  In fact, if he hears me swoon any more over the new gunmetal Michael Kors watch and fantasize […]

Cancer and Me with Wendy Nielsen

October 16, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Every once in a while, you come across a blogger who absolutely rips your heart out with her own amazing heart.  Right now, I’m in awe of Wendy Nielsen.  This gal is The Whole Package.  See, Wendy survived breast cancer.  And then she decided not only to share her story with others, but to purposefully use […]

Midlife Crises and Gang Signs

October 14, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

And so it happens…apparently, I have hit a mid-life crisis. Excellent. It’s the kind of thing you are never sure how it will go down until it actually happens.  As it turns out, for me, my crisis took the form of leather.  Specifically, buying leather en masse.  Sure.  I already talked about my morning obsessing […]
