About me!
I'm Meredith, happily married to "A," and the proud, but stressed and often yelling mother of 2nd grade boy/girl twins and a boy in kindergarten. I am also recently diagnosed with breast cancer, which has caused a resurgence in my desire to blog because in my twisted mind, few things are funnier than a prosthetic boob. Thanks for reading and if you want to PM me, I can be found at meredith dot vartuli @gmail.com.Questions? Comments? Observations?
Feel free to contact me at daysofwhineandroses@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you!!

Like many other moms, I think my kids are “gifted.” No, my five year old son doesn’t do calculus, his twin sister can’t recite Shakespearean sonnets and my almost 3 year old still hasn’t quite mastered the fine art of … Continue reading
