Crank Up the Christmas Cheese, I’m Singing Along

December 11, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Cheesy Christmas Music

You’ve got them, we all do.  Those really bad cheesy Christmas tunes that fill the airwaves come December that you secretly love?  You might try to blow them off publicly with a  good eye roll, but score a little alone time in the minivan and you know you’re cranking them up and crooning along at top volume. When […]

Christmas is nearing, and these mom bloggers are keeping the dream of a magical holiday alive.  Anyone else getting giddy fantasizing about a Christmas sans the requisite scented bath and body lotion set?  I am believing that we can go bigger this year, ladies!  Hold onto the hope!  A stocking with something other than packs of gum […]

Nothing Says Christmas Like a Hallmark Channel Movie

December 5, 2012 By Meredith 1 Comment

No really, even Santa Claus is tuning in--watch these Christmas movies now! And enjoy :)

I love Hallmark movies.  Let me clarify: I love Hallmark Christmas movies.  I’ve learned from experience that quality of content get get a bit dicey on this channel come St. Patrick’s Day with stories about villagers trying to find magical secret leprechauns. So it’s really just best to soak up all the soapy goodness right now (or […]

The Timing of Things

December 2, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Does time ever play tricks on you?  It’s funny because sometimes things that happened yesterday feel like they happened weeks ago, sometimes minutes ago, and sometimes like, well, they happened yesterday.  Things tend to blur and blend in my world and sometimes I don’t really feel like I have an awesome handle on what’s happening. […]

Oh, Hello Thursday. I’m So Glad You’re Here Again

November 29, 2012 By Meredith 2 Comments

Thursdays. THURSDAYS.  The day to heist the world and give it back several times over. Getting my son to school, racing my daughter and I to our Bible Study classes, and throwing in a few trays of muffins that have to be delivered somewhere (why are there always, always muffins involved?) along with about 16 […]

The Honest Company

November 27, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I have a confession: I have ginormous celebrity crush on Jessica Alba.  This is due in large part to the fact that I am in complete awe of her.  Her daughter Haven was born a month after my daughter was born, and Jessica’s life is just so darn together.  Granted, I cognitively understand that this […]
