Superbowl XLVI

February 5, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Yes, it’s Game Day, and yes, it will most definitely be on.  Cute Superbowl-themed snacks at the ready and palatable excitement in the air (yes, sure, large portion of excitement on Mommy’s part is attributed to the cool new commercials that will be aired).  Son properly keyed up and feeling cool to participate in this […]

A Stroller for Every Occasion

February 4, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I was talking to my friend H the other day and was trying to describe all the guitars my husband owns.  Somewhere around 16 or 17 (possible exaggeration here) I lost track, gave up and said, “Oh well.  He has his guitars, I have my strollers.”  Unfortunately (in regards to storage space), this is oh-too-true. […]

And My Life Just Got a Little Better…

February 3, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Rolling out 3/23: http://www.disneyjuniorthechannel.com/ Amazing!  No more annoying tween-addictive programming in the late afternoon.  All Mickey (or the likes there of ), all the time.  Perfection…

35″ of Accountability

February 3, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

We were talking in my Bible Study group about the importance of having an accountability partner, or someone who can keep you on the straight-and-narrow.  My guess is that most women would find a fellow adult female to rock out this gig with, but I have found myself seeking the much more convenient companionship of […]

Under the Influence…

February 2, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

…or so it would appear.  No, not actually knackered if you talk to/see me and are suspicious.  Here are the current top two reasons my speech may be slurred: 1) (The most popular right now) Have a mouth full of vitamins/pills that I have not yet found a glass of water to swallow them with. […]

Pediatric Dentist

February 1, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My anxiety about taking my son to his first dental appt. yesterday was through the roof, sleepless night beforehand and all (yes, I’m crazy).  This was largely due to the fact that every time I stick my fingers in his mouth, he bites them, and bites them hard.  I scream, then he screams–just a rather […]

Just Keep Driving

January 31, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Thanks to my friend S for reminding me of this particular phenomena.  You know how it goes–as soon as you are driving away from a place, you immediately think of all the things you should have bought/said/asked/done/etc.  The easy one (although still annoying) is when, immediately upon pulling out of the pediatrician office’s parking lot, you think of all the […]

A Pop Quiz

January 30, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

“Do as I do” has to be the motto, willingly or unwillingly, of parents of young children.  I have just sort of given up on the cost of the multiple boxes of kleenex my son is burning through on a daily basis.  He sees me pick up a kleenex every 2 seconds to blow my […]

The Magical Downing Hills Christian Fellowship Hoodie

January 29, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I have been loathe to address the weight-loss issue on this blog, as it is a delicate topic for many, esp. this Mom of the Year post-pregnancy.  Let’s just say it’s a work in progress and my soft black pants (read: stretchy “fat pants”) somedays get more of a workout than I do.  In any […]

A Panicky Lather

January 28, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

If you haven’t gathered this already, in general, I am a huge fan of stalking.  Stalking my husband on his way home from work, stalking the mail truck, stalking my own blog for hits–all incredibly lame and very useful, I have found.  When it’s flipped and I perceive that someone is stalking me, still not […]
