Date Night is on with Datevitation!

May 19, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I’ll admit, I was skeptical.  Being a complete computer non-genius, anything that requires me to go online and create something makes me a little nervous.  Datevitation.com, an online site where you can go to make a custom love coupon book, sounded really cool, but I’m really bad at figuring out stuff like this.  Assuming I would […]

Terrorized by Neon

May 16, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

The neon craze is in full swing, and I have officially worked myself into a sizeable tizzy over the whole 90s throwback.  Tell me I’m not alone.  Anyone?  Anyone??  Hop over and commiserate with me today at When Crazy Meets Exhaustion.  We all know how much I love the lovely Stephanie (remember her fantastic post here a […]

If you have been hanging out with me for any length of time, you know that technology generally drives me into the corner, quaking in fear.  Let’s just say the latest and greatest developments and I aren’t going to be besties any time soon. So when Sweet Relish asked me to check out their site […]

Mom of the Year for a Frightening Reason

Equis Place blog button @XAMaldonado

Xiomara has created a beautiful space in the blogosphere, Equis Place.  Self-described as a “blogger, memoirist, and poet”, she is a skilled writer and has blessed me many times with the gorgeous rawness and realness of her words as she shares her motherhood experience.  I would try to describe the character behind her posts, but […]

The Road to Freedom is Paved with Soap

May 13, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Listen, just because I’m rockin’ my 30s, does not mean I can’t be served a good education once in a while.  My recent tag-along to my husband’s business trip to Boston was slammed full of great lessons.  In fact, I can’t think of a recent time when I learned so very much.  Since I love […]

J&J Campaign Manifesto #forallyoulove @meredithspidel

The Mother’s Day cheese is getting poured on pretty heavily around the web the past couple of days, and I’m not one for over-sentiment, but when Johnson and Johnson asked me to promote their new For All You Love campaign “celebrating the selfless and unconditional caring of caregivers, including moms, and all the ways they care […]

The Mom Cafe button @themomcafe @meredithspidel

Chris Carter of The Mom Cafe has captured my heart.  Her genuineness and kindness reinforce that online friendships can be things of significant and true blessing in our lives, even in some ways that real life relationships can’t.  I often long for when we can meet up for a good chat, followed by a lovely glass of wine and […]

For the love of God, get the lady a book!

May 6, 2013 By Meredith Leave a Comment

The plan was not to even mention my mother on the blog this Mother’s Day week.  Sometimes, after a certain amount of sadness, I just don’t like being sad any more.  And sometimes, if I’m going to feel sad, there is something less personal about blasting my feelings to the entire blogosphere? But then it […]

@thecalibamamom blog button @meredithspidel

I feel lame introducing Nancy from Calibamamom because she is one of those groovy people would could just hit the stage all on her own and have you all laughing within seconds.   She is hip, witty, GORGEOUS, and knows how to laugh.  She is the perfect person to kick off this weekend with, and […]
