Meredith Spidel blogs at The Mom of theYear, dedicatedly earning her title one epic parenting fail at a time. She is an author in the best-selling anthologies, I Just Want to Pee Alone and You Have Lipstick on Your Teeth. When her kids aren't busy pummeling each other with Legos or requiring their 16th sippy cup refill of the day, she tries to offer quick, relatable laughs for fellow parents of the world and all their empathizers. She remains entirely terrified by crafts, promises to never share any useful household tips, and is fully committed to a less serious look at the world of parenting. Social media is beyond her comprehension, but she makes a pass at Twitter and Facebook.
