Looking for a way to spruce up your lunchtime routine while keeping it healthy? Try one of these fab ideas for fall-inspired salads! I would never have thought of some of these combinations, but they are genius--and delicious!

Fall is here. There’s a real chill is in the air, and pumpkin spice has taken over just about everything. Seriously, I saw a sign the other day for pumpkin spice LUMBER. I’m fairly sure they were joking, but who can really tell at this point. While I firmly know where I stand when it comes to […]

Book Club Holds Court

February 5, 2016 By Meredith 16 Comments

We are so excited to read this new hot pick book! Dig into this best seller with us in our virtual book club. Any and all readers welcome--the only stipulation? Pajamas are a MUST! xo

As an avid non-fan of bitter cold winter days, naming my favorite part of the tundra-like existence is an easy call: reading. Reading obsessively, continually. In all corners of the day and night and cagey-kid filled hours when you resort to shamelessly bribing the cherubs with bonus iPad time so you can snag just 15 minutes of peace. […]

Find Your Way to Across the Way

July 17, 2015 By Meredith 30 Comments

The greatest thing she learned is that there's no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one.

I have endless memories of my mother, a natural-born shopper, delighting in browsing the shops at Cape May, NJ on our vacations. Much to my husband’s chagrin, I’ve inherited her shopping gene. That’s cool; he can go ahead and roll his eyes in the corner, I’m too thrilled with my hunting for special treasures to notice his silliness. […]
