Guest Blogger Delilah

June 26, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I adore Delilah.  She rocks it out daily over at Confessions of a Semi-Domesticated Mama.  She makes me laugh–a whole lot.  It’s gotten so that when I talk about Delilah at dinner, my husband knows exactly who I mean, even though we’ve never met this awesome gal in person.  When she agreed to guest post […]

Dying to know the inner workings of my family’s finances?  When Jessica and Sarah welcomed me as a guest blogger on their site, Pretty Providence, to share my thoughts about budgeting, I was pretty stoked!  Since I feel like I dedicate, oh about 99.9% of my life “watching our finances”, this was right up my […]

Going Clubbing

June 19, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

The way I usually roll… In all my aged, mom of two young kids, most-safely-dressed-in-pajama jeans glory, I found myself going clubbing on Saturday night.  Yes, you read that right.  GOING CLUBBING.  This is definitely Among Things That Should Never Happen.  If I didn’t love my cousin so much, I most definitely would have bailed on her […]
