Priceless mom moments.  We all have them.  If you are like me, your days are probably rather full of them.  I best my describe my foray into parenting as a string of epic fails.  Yeah, I’m really that good at it.  So when my sweetheart Dani of Cloudy, With a Chance of Wine, asked if […]

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 […]

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 […]
