Filter Free Parents with Meredith Masony

Happy Hump Day! I’m feeling the holidays eeeeverywhere, so I think we all need/want/deserve a little treat or two. . . Sweet, sweet goodness. Bring this to your Grandma’s house on Christmas and wait for the compliments. Just be sure to save a slice for yourself.

We’re Going Back, Baby! Like a kid who thought they wanted to move out but quickly realized adulting is overrated, we’re packing up our digital bags and moving back home — to our Filter Free Parents website! Substack was fun, like a weekend at a trendy Airbnb. But let’s be honest: nothing beats the comfort of your own couch, stretchy pants, and a website that feels right. This is where the magic happens — the raw, real, laugh-so-hard-you-snort content you know and love.

Happy Friday! I hope you have some fun weekend plans, or some restful ones! I think we all need some laughter, some chill, some good vibes right now. So, how are you gonna get that this weekend? Leave a comment

HAPPY HUMP DAY! Are you feeling it? I am. So, let’s share a little midweek treat, shall we? We’re saying goodbye to February and moving into March with some sweet green treats.

I knoooow. It’s a weird time out there and deep conversations with our kids are tricky and awkward. But, honestly, it’s always a weird time when you’re trying to have hard conversations with your kids. Yet, as our featured article shows, it’s necessary. So we have some honest tips to help you answer those tough questions. My thoughts and advice on these conversations are down below the Recipes of the Week in Just Sayin’. Scroll down and check it out.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! And HAPPY FRIDAY! I know we’re all busy and stressed and have so much on our plates. But, if you were to have the ideal Valentine’s Day, what would it look like? Leave a comment

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and whether you have a Valentine or not, you need some sweet, juicy, red strawberries in your life this week. We’ve got a dessert and a cocktail that are perfect. Enjoy! You deserve it. Toast to YOU! Happy Valentine’s Week! You. Are. Loved.

No matter where you live, you’ve felt the effects of winter this year. Even Florida saw crazy low temperatures and snow! And I think most, if not all of us are over it. My thoughts on this wintery season are down in Just Sayin’ and our featured article is one mama’s frosty rant that will have you nodding your head and laughing out loud. And of course we have our Recipes of the Week to keep you and your family fed and cozy without the stress of planning dinner. Enjoy! And stay warm, friends.

Happy Friday! Amongst all the wild news happening this week and Valentine’s Day next week, there’s also a Super Bowl being played this weekend. Are you gonna watch? Who do you want to win? Or are you just watching for the commercials? :) Leave a comment

OK, it really is HUMP DAY even if this week feels wacky and nobody knows what day it is or how many layers of clothing we’ve put on. It’s cold (yes, even in Florida) and emotions are upside down, so we need to just take a moment and treat ourselves to some sips and some sweetness. Enjoy! We’re mixing things up and toasting — to looking up and getting through the hard things. We got this.
