About
My name is Meredith Soleau, and I have a CRAZY life.
Hi, Meredith (that’s your line… notice the resemblance to an AA meeting… I want you to say it like that).
I have a super hot (and really fun) husband, Shaun. Together we have three little kids (Lars, Logan, and Lilah). We are very, very busy people. It’s a lot to manage but somehow everyone stays alive and makes it through the day, and that is sometimes more than I expected.
I work at a mega car dealership. It is an awesome job, and I see a lot of unusual things happen, so it keeps it very interesting. I work as a Human Resources Manager. As a result of this, I can’t tell you too much about my job even though it makes for a lot of interesting stories. The job requires some travel and lots of hours. We wouldn’t survive without our very own Super Nanny, Becky. Becky has become a part of our family (like a Sister Wife on Big Love, but she doesn’t have a house in our backyard and she doesn’t sleep with my husband).
I over share about myself. I always have. It’s like I don’t have a filter when it comes to talking about me. I just love talking about me. For my entire life, when I have told stories about me or my family, people have had a good laugh. So I figured, why not record this stuff and over share with the world?
I have three brothers and no sisters. Hence the potty mouth and the tendency to think like a dude.
Oh, and my mom wants me to be right up front about this and tell you that she didn’t raise me like this, and she doesn’t know where she went wrong with me. There you go, Mom, I said your disclaimer.
Enjoy the blog.

I love, love, love your about me page! It is really great that it isn’t just your average about me page and you gave a “real” taste of who you are. Honesty – I love it. I also have a feeling you are not one who “sugar coats” things… If this is yes, then, I like you even more. Thanks for sharing. And I look forward to reading.
Love it, my mother tells me she doesn’t have the time.
My Father read one post where I said the word penis,
then told me he doesn’t read that sort of stuff
Tell your Mom I think she did an alright job!
If you were a good mother you wouldnt work and take care of your children.
John…how old fashion of you.
Many families can’t afford to have one parent stay home.
Also, father’s can stay home with their children too you know.
Yes, I AM a horrible mother for providing a great life to my children. People like me should be taken out back and shot. Thank God for people like you! You really set people like me straight.
John has clearly decided to use his new time travel machine and join us from the 1950′s! Welcome John! I’m surprised you know how to use a computer since you’re CLEARLY not from the current day and age.
And John, maybe this will clear up some things for you…In 2007, 71.0 percent of women with children under 18 years of age were in the labor force (either employed or looking for work) and 67.8 percent were employed. Of mothers with children under 6 years of age, 63.3 percent were in the labor force and 59.6 percent were employed. Of women with children aged 6-17 years, 77.2 percent were in the labor force and 74.3 percent were employed.
Thats a lot of bad mothers, huh? You should go catch ‘em all and tell them!!
My facts came from this website. http://bit.ly/zSWIW In case anyone is wondering.
And I have just fallen in love. With Meredith.
Well, I WAS a soft bottomed stay at home mom, and then my husband became severely disabled after he flew off a motorcycle and his head went up a horses’ butt, and then he DIED when he saw pictures of Meredith’s vibrators, soooooo now I HAVE TO WORK. *sobs grievously* so stop JUDGING! Just kidding, I just wanted to join the convo.
I just wanted to say, I found your site from your 20/20 segment last week (fantastic by the way!) and am glad I did.
I too work full time (have since my son was 10) and prior to that worked part time in the evenings. My husband worked first shift and we traded kids as he was coming home and I was leaving for work. Not ideal and not for everyone but like you we did what worked for our family. I’m so lucky that my current job lets me work from home 3 days a week (although the kids are older (20 and 16) and don’t really want me around!).
Keep up the awesome work!
Hi Meredith !
I was watching 20/20 & when your segment came up I said ” I know her ! ” Do you remember me….I watched Lars when he was very little . I can’t believe how big he has gotten !!! You look WONDERFUL & you have a beautiful family.
I am still watching children ( 25 yrs. now ) for parents like you who work to provide the best of everything they can give their children.
I am looking forward to reading your blogs & I am sure I will be laughing a lot : )
Of course I remember you! Yes, Lars is growing up so fast! Now I’m pretty much a breeder. Of children. I have a million.
Women like you make it possible for families like us. Thank you so much for being there through a very tough time. Sy died while Lars was with you. You were amazing. I’ll never forget you or all that you did.
Thanks for stopping by.
I’m loving your blog! And, in return, I’m giving you my very special, utterly tequila Tequila Mockingbird recipe: http://marypoppinsinheels.blogspot.com/search/label/Alcoholic%20Beverage.
Anyone who’s mother insists on a responsibility disclaimer must have…and drink, of course…this drink.
