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 […]

Shopping Just Got Ultimate

September 14, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

When Ultimate Outlet asked me to review their site, I was all, “twist my arm”…the thing is, I kind of love online shopping.  As in, I don’t go to stores.  Something about the whole children screaming at me and running under random doors in the dressing room is just a turn-off.  Out of mom-of-young-kids necessity, […]

A Little Book Signing on the Horizon

September 12, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

So there is a little something going down in these parts on 10/3.  I went and scheduled myself a book signing!  I have long been in love with Kelly and her crew over at Kismet Consignment Shop in Downingtown, PA.  When she agreed to get on board with this signing, I squeed and then promptly […]

Pageant-Momming at the Color Run

September 10, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Anyone ever hear of a little site called In the Powder Room? Yeah, it’s kind of only the MOST BOSS SITE EVER.  There are some very rockin’ ladies that make all the magic go down over there and today they are letting me hang out with them.  These are also the same gals who I […]

The Art of the Selfie

September 9, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I need to introduce someone who is going to be hanging out around here a bit.  Let me rephrase:  I pray she is going to be coming back a whole lot more.  Please be really nice to her so she does. Alisa is funny, and her witty sense of humor has captured me.  She is […]

Calling Sister to the Vlogging Front!

September 5, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

There was a situation recently in which I had to do a vlog post.  And I had been in NYC the night before and didn’t get home until 3am. I don’t do 3am well. At all.  So I did what any logical person would do and made my sister to it with me.  To be […]

And….Finding the Funny is Back!

September 3, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I know, people, the summer was rough on all of us in more ways than one.  The endless sweat-soaked days and whacked schedules had their time and place, but the time has come to move on with fall.  While I can’t get back your life-savings you sunk into contastnly supporting the swim diaper industry, I […]

My Perfect Girl

September 2, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I wasn’t going to have a girl.  Let me rephrase: I ALWAYS wanted to have a girl for as long as I can remember. Then I found out I was carrying a boy in my first pregnancy, forced myself to take stock of the fact that my husband was one of 4 boys, and wrapped […]
