Wedding Season Delivered

July 5, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

In honor of my sweet cousin’s 1 yr. wedding anniversary, I am reposting my favorite post from last summer.  I don’t think anyone else chortles and snorts as loudly as I do when they read it, but I am raising it up in cheers anyway.  One year ago we were having the most fun sun-baked […]

How Far a Year Takes Us…

July 3, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I’m getting my 4th on, and embracing all the fireworks, cook-outs, and pool time over the next few days (feel free to read: yelling at my children not to push each other into the pool and passing out in exhaustion before the fireworks even start), but couldn’t get the party started without again sharing this […]

The Panic of the Phantom Pregnancy

July 1, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I don’t want to get into details (read: my husband will get “touchy” if I overshare on our personal life), but the chances are very slim that I’m going to be getting myself knocked up again.  The womb has shut up shop and the ship of brightly colored binkies has sailed from this household.  No, […]

Soaking Up Every Sweet Moment on Puppy’s Day

June 28, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

It’s hard to pick what the initial draw to Adrienne of The Mommy Mess was for me.  Was it the title of her blog?  Because it’s awesome and I feel like it encapsulates my whole being.  Was it that part of her intro on her blog says, “I homeschool my boys and that really gets […]

The Time Has Come to Leave the House

June 26, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

A very unusual thing is happening this weekend.  This Mom of the Year is going out.  And by out, I mean really out, as in, the entire way to Pittsburg out.  And when I get there, I am GOING TO MEET SCARY MOMMY.  And not only meet, but like, hang out with her.  There are rumors […]

In Hot Pursuit of a Healthy Home

June 24, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I love Seventh Generation products.  They make the whole parenting thing a bit easier by giving me one less thing to worry about–this is always a good thing in my book ;).  Because I know this company has such a great reputation for safe products, I am free to use their stuff without any concerns […]

The Rake Shed

June 21, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I have an IRL (in-real-life) friend who is beyond rockin’.  Dawn has been such a blessing and so much fun.  I can’t thank God enough that He put her and her friendship in my life–what a gift!  Not too long ago, she told me a story about her husband and a rake shed, that make […]

I Wrote Writer

June 19, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Life is full of tricky questions.  Right now, for me, one of the trickiest is, “What do you do?” For a while I tried saying, “I’m a blogger”, but I found this often confused people.  What the heck is a blog anyway?? Or worse, I was met with sad sympathy.  A somewhat  pained expression that […]

Partying It Up at The Fire House

June 17, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Children’s birthday parties…oh, sweet, evil children’s birthday’s parties.  How I loathe you, dread you…LOVE you??  Whaaa?  Yes, it’s true, I, the self-proclaimed Anti-Birthday Party Queen fell in love with my son’s recent 4th birthday party.  We held it at the East Brandwine Fire Company.  If you live any where in the vicinity of Downingtown, PA […]

Forgot to Pack Your Sense of Humor?

June 13, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I love Natalia McPhedran.  Love her, love her, love her.  Her energy packs a very welcome positive punch.  She approaches this life with vigor and enthusiasm, drawing in others as she goes, blogging all about it over at Natalia Coaching You.  Natalia freely offers her support and friendship in this blogosphere, and for that, I […]
