Dad’s Turn to Score the Loot!

June 10, 2014 By Meredith 2 Comments

With Father’s Day just a few days away, now is the time to love on the dad in your life!  We think dads are cool, so we’re teaming up with Boogie Wipes to give away some great gifts for dads. Three lucky dads will win a Daddy & Company camouflage backpack stuffed with a Cool […]

Cole

June 9, 2014 By Meredith 19 Comments

I sent my son off to preschool last year with very little expectation aside from the hope that as a young 3 yr. old he wouldn’t poop in the middle of circle time, or commit some equally horrific toddler social misstep.  When he not only loved his class and his teacher and starting soaking up […]

Blog U is ON!

June 6, 2014 By Meredith 10 Comments

As I write this, I am headed off for BlogU.  In my world, BIG THING.  I have spent months upon months sorting out details like gluten-free alcohol, roommate requests and appropriate-colored badge stickers with Stephanie Giese, Blog U Founder, and the other conference staff.  It has been an honor, and one I don’t take lightly. […]

Living in the Danger Zone

June 4, 2014 By Meredith 6 Comments

  Friends, we need your help.  And a lot of it.  When OTCSafety.org reminded me that June is National Home Safety Month, it couldn’t have been a more timely nudge that my husband and I have some serious safety issues to address in our home. The advice offered at Up and Away to keep medicines out of […]

We Made It to 5!

June 2, 2014 By Meredith 20 Comments

My son turns 5 today.  It’s funny because there are many, many things I thought shortly after he was born, but never once did I think, “We will survive this for the next five years.” He is my gentle child, my kind soul.  The one who tends to be more laid back and accepting of his […]

PACT for a More Comfy Tomorrow

May 30, 2014 By Meredith 75 Comments

Earlier this week I wrote about embracing a thus unknown fashion sense with Stitch Fix.  And while I really do have high hopes of vogue-ing it up a little in the days to come, truth told: as a WAHM of two young ones on any given average day, it is very convenient when my carefully chosen […]

Busy Days

May 28, 2014 By Meredith 20 Comments

Friends, there is very little of interest in my life.  I wake up, I reach for my vitamins caddy and then lube up with my Vaseline Lip Therapy for the day.  I feel blissfully 80 yrs. old and have zero interest in pursuing anything seemingly younger. On good days, I fascinate over John Stamos’ obsession with […]

StitchFix Me Up!

May 26, 2014 By Meredith 18 Comments

Fashion made easy! Get stylish finds shipped to your door and then just send back what you don't want. A personalized stylist walks you through each find, making suggestions with these cards!

I vaguely remember something called a dressing room?  It was small and squarish with a privacy curtain and a bench so you could sit down.  Actually the more I think about it, it sounds like a pretty blissful place.  Perhaps I should just take my next vacation to Target and save on gassing up the minivan for the […]

The Logic of Midnight

May 23, 2014 By Meredith 22 Comments

Logic has never been my strong suit.  That’s okay with me.  I have other positive traits, like being a whiz at online bargain shopping and falling for products then snagging them on the internet for a song. Wait; those may be the same things.  Mmmh…like I said, logic’s not really my thing. Except when it’s the middle of […]

Shielding Up All that You Love

May 21, 2014 By Meredith 24 Comments

Truth told: my kids hate it when I slather sunscreen on them. But in reciprocation, I love them enough to keep whipping out the bottle and squeezing on the gooey white cream. They might throw fits, I don’t care. They might roll their eyes and think I’m crazy. I don’t care. Because I love them, I will always try […]
