When Your Husband Says No

October 23, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My husband and I have differing definitions of good ideas.  I like to consider myself more “open to new experiences which could positively benefit my life” whereas he typically just classifies me as crazy.  Examples: 1. Those cleansing foot pad things.  You know, the ones that suck all the toxins out of your body through […]

The Public Library: The Monday Review

October 22, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Pony up the library card and crack one open, my friends! When we first moved to this area, one of the first places I visited was the public library.  And you may recall when I lost my wallet last fall, I sobbed pretty hard over my missing library card.  If you are a hardcore reading addict […]

Countdown to Christmas

October 19, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

In my perfect world, as soon as the leaves start to change, we would throw ourselves whole-heartedly into celebrating the Christmas season.  This makes my husband grouchy, however.  He is very big on enjoying ALL of the holidays, and would never want to rush the fall holidays of Halloween and Thanksgiving.  Ergo, we have a strict […]

With a Moo Moo here and a Baa Baa There

October 18, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Remember my friend Melissa who let me post over at her very cool blog, Adventures with Captain Destructo a couple of weeks ago?  She’s so funny, she’s real, and she keeps it interesting. Above all, I think she’s great because she always just tells it exactly like it really is. Today she’s going to fill us […]

For Whom The Bell Tolls

October 16, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

One morning last week I woke up and start hearing this repetitive little dinging trill.  It sounded like a bell was chiming in the distance.  At first I just assumed the obvious–I was crazy.  I put off asking my husband about it for at least a 1/2 hr. because I like to keep up the […]

A Day Out With Thomas: The Monday Review

October 15, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Source Thomas is rolling into the station! Recently we were looking for something special to do with our son, and after several friend recommendations, we decided to give A Day Out With Thomas at the Strasburg Railroad a try.  In short?  It was awesome!  Perfect pick and perfect thing to do with young kids. Since […]

“Sticking a Flag in the Sand”

October 12, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

A year ago on this day, I had no idea what a blog was.  A few months prior, a friend had sent me the links to a couple of blogs she liked.  I think I checked in once or twice, but I didn’t get it.  My best understanding of a blog was that it was […]

Pooping Your Pants: The Adult Years

October 10, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Sadly, I’m not talking about either of my children pooping in their diapers (yes, again, thanks for noting that my son will still not poop on the potty).  After reading quite a few poop horror stories online lately, I decided it was high time for me to suck it up and share my own tale […]

My FAVORITE People

October 9, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

People are so grand.  Right now, I’m especially feeling the love for: The doctor’s office receptionist who got snarky with me when I called to schedule my flu shot.  So terribly sorry that my 14 mo. old daughter is so horrendously ill-behaved that she chose to fall and start screaming exactly when you were giving me the […]

In A Dream World There Would Be More Lattes…

October 8, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

When “Got Milk?” asked me to honor my favorite blogs that I would read while kicking back with a morning latte, I was instantly, “Heck yeah!”  A latte and a chance to check in on some very cool blogs?  This is pretty much as good as my fantasy life gets right now, so I was […]
