Throw a Birthday Party like a Boss

May 2, 2014 By Meredith 10 Comments

Birthday season in The Mom of the Year household is upon us, friends. Our entire family, immediate and extended, without exception, was born between the very end of May and October 1.  What does this mean for you?  A lot of upcoming scary Facebook pictures of Mommy looking like a psychotic mess and undue excessive whining […]

Springing Up May BOGO Ad Space Special

May 1, 2014 By Meredith 4 Comments

So while the 1500-some monsoons of the past month have been adorable (unloading groceries with two toddlers in a downpour must be among the most effective birth control out there, no??), I’m ready to boot April to the curb. Celebrate with me and let’s welcome in May with some freshness and growth–growth on your site that is!  I’m loving […]

I Love/Hate Technology. Or I Don’t.

April 30, 2014 By Meredith 20 Comments

I’m all for technology; it’s super. That’s a lie.  It’s a love/hate thing. Or maybe sometimes completely a hate thing. Or always a hate thing. You see, I spent a morning last week trying to modify and personalize a Google+ status update.  The downside? I had to read 14 relevant articles and didn’t get the dishes […]

Someone’s Got to Do Something about the Laundry

April 28, 2014 By Meredith 28 Comments

It’s a weird place.  I’ve got kids, but I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I’m sure excited about all the ins and outs of them right now.  OF COURSE I love my children and am always grateful for them, but let’s be honest, I could happily table the Pull-ups forever and die a happy woman.  A […]

Product Junkie

April 25, 2014 By Meredith 8 Comments

I’ll admit it.  I’m a product junkie and a proud product junkie.  Bring on the drugstore because I’m on a mission.  Actually, bring on my my link-through Ebates to whatever store has the best deal.  Coupled with free shipping codes from RetailMeNot, you know I’m not trying to actually leave my house. Since money is always on […]

Fishing Poles and the Cute Dresses

April 23, 2014 By Meredith 16 Comments

Easter was a very loooong day in these parts.  A day that started well before the sun rose and quickly frenzied its way into frenetically strewn Easter grass, multiple egg hunts, and at least one toddler crawling on my head during the church service. Topping off a week with a very sick husband, Mommy had […]

25 Reasons My Scale is a Liar

April 21, 2014 By Meredith 11 Comments

Oh honey, Alisa, I’m right there with you–my jeans are so, so heavy.  And muscle weight and humidity are A BEAST.  Also, I love you, Alisa. Friends, if there was ever a time to love on Alisa, it is NOW. Solidarity on the scale and peace out, my love! ********************************************************************* On my 29th birthday I […]

Spooning Up the Greek

April 18, 2014 By Meredith 14 Comments

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m desperate to shave off a bit more of my muffin top before summer hits us with all its adorable little tees and capris, so when Yoplait asked me to give their new Yoplait Greek 100 Strawberry a taste and compare it to the flavor of Chobani Simply […]

Some Shopping for You, A Little Hysteria for Me

April 16, 2014 By Meredith 12 Comments

You may recall that whenever a book signing event is on the horizon, I tend to lose my crap a bit.  Specifically, I start running around the house in heels, obsessively emptying the garbage and fighting with my husband over birdbaths.  I repeatedly send selfies of myself in different dress choices to my friends and […]

We’re Done

April 14, 2014 By Meredith 28 Comments

I’m listening to my children play “camping” above me in my daughter’s room.  Basically, it sounds like a herd of noisy elephants who like to laugh a lot has been let loose.  And a lot of opening and slamming doors is apparently required for this camping endeavor too. I’m exhausted.  They have won today. A […]
