About

Whether you’re a lifelong friend keeping up on my latest, a random blog reader just stumbling by for a lark, or a possible collaborator wondering who the heck I am, welcome!

I’m Megan (or Meg to my friends…that means you) and this is my little spot in the world for acting out — which I’ve been known to do from time to time, whether in my goofy behavior, a propensity for getting myself into accidental trouble, or, yes, even through an occasional part on stage. While I don’t necessaril

y encourage (or discourage) it in my son, I love to act out. It’s the best way to experience life, really.

Speaking of son, our family consists of my super-sweet husband (The Dorky Daddy), our precocious toddler, three very unique rescue kitties, and one more kiddo on the way! I currently work as a school librarian and, while I love my kiddos and the world of books and information, I’m enjoying branching out into the world of writing. There. Now that it’s written for all to see, I’m sticking with it. *wink* If you’d like to take a chance, take-a take-a chance chance on my writing skills, feel free to contact me at [email protected].

C’mon, you know you want to work with someone who quotes Abba.

I’m the jack-of-all-trades/master-of-none blogger in these here parts. In other words, it’s hard to concisely list the topics you’ll trip over at Meg Acts Out. Just call it the Seinfeld of blogs; kind of about nothing and everything all at once. “Get out!” is right, Elaine. Get. Out.

Above all, my posts are meant to amuse and entertain, inform and inspire, while covering a variety of topics. I’m a mama bearimus maximus, so you’ll hear parenting conversations, suggestions, and tips. Since we’re all the best parents ever (seriously, doing your best = winning), feel free to drop your two cents into the jar anytime!

We’re also trying to live a simpler, more natural lifestyle, so you’ll notice everything from real food recipes to gardening mishaps (and I do mean mishaps) to cleaning hacks to…well, the list just goes on and on. That said, let’s just put a big accent on the “trying to live”; you’ll hear about our failures along the way in every respect. #clothdiaperdropout #notgivingup

And since my favorite types of blogs are of the DIY variety, it only makes sense that you’ll stumble on a few failed attempts of my own with a couple of “hey, it looks good to me” ideas.

Other random day-in-the-life type posts? Yep, those too. In any given week, you’ll probably find a potty training post, a seasonal decor mood board, a Meatless Monday recipe…and a love letter to Jimmy Stewart. Just a few of the ideas floating around in my head. You never know.

Don’t forget to hit me up where the cool kids hang. Namely, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and, yes, even Periscope @megactsout.

Thanks for visiting, and feel free to comment whenever the mood strikes (I don’t bite; I’m not into the whole vampire craze) or email me at [email protected]. No, really. I crave social interaction. But be forewarned; I’m totally awkward and super excited to chat with you.
