Cars out the wazoo
As you might’ve read on Jbird’s blog, we have recently attained an impious amount of vehicles lately.  Why not add another to the collection?  Okay, he says. This time it’s a 1977 Mercedes 300 SD Turbo Diesel (not that I know what all that mumbo jumbo means).  To my understanding, the thought of converting a car to run on vegetable oil really tripped his trigger.  I guess he’s not too proud...

Two days with Dana
Jason’s cousin, Dana, drove three hours to spend labor day weekend with none other than us ol’ Smiths. It was so fun getting to see her. It took Wylder no time to start loving on her and entertaining her with his new dance moves. Even though we see Dana about two or three times a year, she had never been to our hometown. Now, Jason is trying to get her to buy his Metropolitan...

Good news, eh?
Here is an email I just received… Hi there, I’m Sarah Boesveld, a reporter with The Globe and Mail, Canada’s national newspaper. I’m writing an article about how many parents are making their own pregnancy time lapse videos and posting them on YouTube - a kind of next wave of the ‘ultrasound as Facebook profile pic’ or as just another way to celebrate and...

After all this time...
I finally found someone that truly enjoys my mouth trumpet.  In my thirty-one years on this earth, I would’ve never thought that someone would be this intrigued.  His eyes narrow, his mouth drops, he stares at me in awe.  He loves the soft, melodic vibrations of my upper and lower lip.  He’s not embarrassed.  He’s not annoyed. It’s almost as if he’s envious of this...

My baby's 1
I can’t believe it! It seems like yesterday that we snuck that little red-head out of the NICU in nothing but a hospital kimono top and a diaper.  I had no idea they would only give us an hour heads-up before they released that little guy.  My poor baby didn’t even have pants to cover up his pink scrawny legs.  Anyway, I have to say, it has been the best year of my life.   I...

Craftin' up a storm, y'all
I’ve been bitten by the crafty bug.  I’m trying to get all my presents in order for my family and friends.  Little scraps of fabric and paper are flying in every direction. Poor Jbird, who has to step over mountains of material to get to the kitchen, and move paper cutters and rubber cement to make a sandwich.  These things shall pass.  As I type, light fixtures are being hung in...

A cuttin' a sewin'
So I’ve been spending my days brainstorming and creating products for our Smitty Baby line (and juggling Wylder at the same time, of course). I have so many ideas and thoughts running through my head I can hardly stand it. I must focus! I’m trying to take it one step at a time, so we’ll see how it goes. I’m in desperate need of my soon-coming craft room (that will...

And this is me...
I am Meridith Jill Smith.  I am a wife of six years to my handsome, metrosexual husband, Jbird.  Well, that’s what I call him anyway.  He’s a bail bondsman.  That means he gets people out of jail.  If I had a nickel for every Dog, The Bounty Hunter reference we’ve gotten, I would be a wealthy, wealthy woman.  Actually all those nickels really would come in handy because I...
