Golden Globes Recap

January 17, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Have to admit I’m somewhat shocked that the glitterazzi have not been plaguing me with requests for my take on the fashion hits and misses of the Golden Globes.  Obviously, the opinion of this SAHM rockin’ her sweats all hours of the day and night should carry significant weight.  Assuming a drastic oversight and that […]

Every Move I Make…

January 16, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

…counts, plain and simple.  I am learning that the skill set required to perform the daily tasks of a SAHM should require a degree.  The precision involved must easily surpass that of the most intricate military operations.  As in, “Okay, son secured at table in booster seat with a mini-orange (don’t ask…).  Daughter still safely […]

Sophie the Giraffe

January 15, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

She’s ubiquitous.  If you are a parent of young children, you probably own her.  With my son, I coolly and fashionably held out, feeling rather non-conformist and above-the trend.  Apparently, this one plastic animal and this one plastic animal alone, is able to allow your child’s teeth to develop at a normal rate.  Thus, if you are […]

I Can’t Hear You!

January 14, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I’m the first to admit that I’m near deaf.  As soon as our budget can swing it, I’m so there with hearing aids.  (This further lends to the fact that I am actually 105).  In any case, it generally drives my husband nuts that I can hear nothing he says and that we have to […]

When Toys Don’t Shut Off…

January 13, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

The first time this happened, my son was about 8 mo. old and I had put him down for the night.  My husband had gone wild and fled the house for the night to run errands, or some such elaborate affair.  I was snuggled up in bed, happily reading my latest library book away when […]

The Proverbial Spot

January 12, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

What is the wet spot on Mommy’s clothing???  The not-remote possibilities include, but are not limited to: pee, runny poop, spit-up, vomit, formula, water, dirty water from the recycle bin, generic Zantac syrup, coffee, wine, diet coke, pureed sweet potatoes (or any fruit/veggie variation thereof [again including but not limited to], such as plums, peaches, […]

Vistaprint

January 11, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

We’ve got a problem.  How did this even start?  I’m not entirely sure why I, a SAHM, need business cards and an XL size magnet (think: one that you would stick on the side of your car) to promote my business (do I even have business??), but it’s FREE!!!  So I order.  And then I […]

Movie Night

January 10, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

This is just fun.  First of all, it is rare.  Secondly, undoubtedly one or the other of us has been saving up about 16,000 important tasks (bill paying, diaper-code entering, blog-stalking, etc.) that we need to perform on the computer for when we actually get a chance to sit down.  So generally at least one […]

Crafty Ladies

January 9, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

In general, they terrify me.  I am very suspicious of anyone who has the time to not only buy scrapbooking tools and art supplies, but who actually has the time to use them.  Moreover, anyone who delights in cutting out small shapes and securing them to corresponding pages with glitter glue forces me to question […]

The Slippery Slope of Sin and Other Bed Issues

January 8, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

So in a continuation of yesterday’s post about our dog (and I promise to get off the canine train soon), he is further spoiled by being allowed to sleep on our bed with us at night.  When we first got Bailey, he was not allowed out of the basement.  Then he wasn’t permitted past the […]
