The Demise of TomKat

July 7, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Source In a world where celebrities marry and divorce more frequently than I can get in a trip to the grocery store, this probably shouldn’t count as a big deal.  And for someone who is not a Tom Cruise fan, it’s crazy that I’ve basically dedicated the entire summer of my blog to him (okay, […]

Guest Blogger Jen: No Monsters Allowed!

July 6, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My friend Jen makes me laugh so much!  She’s one of those super-cool relatable moms with a great sense of humor who you just love talking to–you feel more normal and peaceful about life just being in her presence.  She claims not to have anything together, but really I think she has it all together. […]

Hersheypark Happy

July 5, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Source I grew up on Hersheypark.  Seriously, I think I was rocking the kiddie carousel before I could walk.  Some of my most formative memories come from trolling around the likes of the Tilt-A-Whirl and the Scrambler.  We lived so close, and season passes were just the way to go.  So we went.  We went […]

Happy 4th, America!

July 4, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Happy July 4th, my friends!  And happy birthday to America 🙂 To celebrate the holiday, we tried really hard to bring you a sweet picture of the kids together.  As you can tell, that worked out well… .Hey, give me credit for rolling out the patriotic outfits, right? Not that Mommy is trying to force […]

The Next Food Network Star

July 3, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Source It’s not easy for my husband and I to find a television show we can both enjoy.  It’s even harder to find common territory when it comes to reality TV (he’s more “let’s blow something up”, while I’m more “which guy will she pick?!”)   But every summer we can both happily settle in […]

Simples Pleasures from Hershey: The Monday Review

July 2, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Full disclosure: Hershey sent me these chocolates for free and paid me to eat them and then write a review about them (but all opinions are 100% mine).  I can wait a minute while that one sets in…yes, someone actually had chocolate delivered to my door and gave me a really, really good excuse to […]

Swimming in Sippy Cups

July 1, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

“I understand that you are not maliciously trying to ruin my life with sippy cups.” This is one of my all-time favorite personal quotes, as I referenced before.  I said this to my husband one day when the sippy cup scene in our home was just a little too intense.  If you’re not a parent […]

What is a Blog?

June 30, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

So many people ask me this.  And up until about 8 months ago, I really had no idea myself.  Merriam-Webster.com defines a blog as: a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer If you are part of the blogging community, as a blogger or […]

The Automatic Trashcan

June 29, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Just when you think life couldn’t get any more exciting, we went and got a new trashcan.  I know, I know…try to calm yourself.  And this thing is really Something Else–we’re talking full-on automatic.  As in, when I step in front of this thing and wave my hand, the lid pops open.  I throw my garbage […]

A Camping We Will Go…

June 28, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My husband and I thought we were rockstars because we had taken our son camping shortly after he turned 1, and it went beautifully.  It was truly fun, and we had a great weekend (granted, this may have had something to do with him breaking out in mysterious hives and the pediatrician telling us to […]
