The Public Library: The Monday Review

October 22, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Pony up the library card and crack one open, my friends! When we first moved to this area, one of the first places I visited was the public library.  And you may recall when I lost my wallet last fall, I sobbed pretty hard over my missing library card.  If you are a hardcore reading addict […]

In A Dream World There Would Be More Lattes…

October 8, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

When “Got Milk?” asked me to honor my favorite blogs that I would read while kicking back with a morning latte, I was instantly, “Heck yeah!”  A latte and a chance to check in on some very cool blogs?  This is pretty much as good as my fantasy life gets right now, so I was […]

Swagger Wagon: The Monday Review

September 17, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

I’m over two years late on the draw here, but I still need to give my beloved Swagger Wagon a shout-out.  When Toyota first started rolling out the commercials featuring the very hip Sienna Family, I giggled out loud.  The mother especially is just so spot-on with her incredible coolness.  Obviously, guys check her out […]

My Favorite Someecards: The Monday Review

September 10, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

Someecards are so very funny.  If I had the time, I could spend hours trolling around the site, giggling out loud and snorting.  Would be a delightful way to blow the afternoon.  Someecards’ tagline “When you care enough to hit send” is a treat in itself.  The site generates their own cards, but also has […]

Photo-Canvas.Com: The Monday Review

August 27, 2012 By Meredith Leave a Comment

My inbox is always filled with offers and deals for photo canvases, and while I love, love pictures and think the canvases seem so cool, I have held out.  It truly isn’t the cost–somehow, much to the chagrin of my husband, my brain and budget manage to conform themselves around whatever my photo “needs” currently […]
