Mystery Odor

May 29, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Please tell me I’m not the only one who plagued by mysterious rank odors permeating their house.  Sure, when you’re pregnant, your sense of smell is supposed to heightened.  Somehow, my keen nose never waned post-birth and in fact, seems to be getting stronger all the time (perhaps evolutionary adaption of modern-day suburban moms to […]

May 27, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

When one finds power tools stashed in their chest freezer in the basement, one…??? Silly me–I thought the freezer was for storing food…

Not a Kid Person

May 26, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Yes, for my children, I will chaperon field trips…gleefully, of course 😉 The other night I got to meet up with 3 friends for dinner.  One has young kids, one is in the process of adopting and one is not yet copping up to any immediate plans.  We were hashing out our fabulous lives and […]

Coffee Creamer…and Possibly More Coffee Creamer…

May 25, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

It is possible that 3 weeks in a row Genaurdis.com was out of the coffee creamer I ordered.  It is also possible that I may have then gone slightly overboard this past week, panicked about a potential dearth of creamer, and ordered every single coffee creamer on their online grocery shopping site, thus ensuring that at least […]

Things No One Ever Told Me About Potty-Training

May 23, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

The stuff of Mommy’s fantasies… 1. The resulting laundry-lode would make the piles of bibs and burp cloths from the newborn days look paltry. 2. I would spend significant time fantasizing about having all the carpets in my house replaced vs. trying to actually clean them. 3. I would be so driven to desperation trying […]

Chuck E. Cheese: The Monday Review

May 21, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My son is almost 3 and we have been to Chuck E. Cheese 3 times now.  The first time, we were drawn there by a party and I was filled with a sense of dread prior to our visit.  Surely, this would be a disaster, and my 15 mo. old would have no idea what […]

The To-Do List

May 20, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Am I the only one who has about 16 different to-do lists going at any given time?  One is for the day, one for the week, one for the in-my-dreams-when-I-have-that-magical-free-time, etc.  My planner is easily my most treasured possession.  It has recently occurred to me that seriously, the only way I can actually tackle the […]
