I know there is a lot of speculation as to whether or not moms and dads should give their babies pacifiers. I know they discouraged it while we were in the hospital and it wasn’t until our very last night with a new night nurse who allowed us to plug up our screaming newborn. Ahhh peace and quiet for a few seconds..until she spit it out and we had to put it back in. Again and again and again and again. And then again. When we arrived home, we waited a few weeks and tried the fancy cute binkies that…

I live with a sports fanatic. My husband is completely obsessed with sports, particularly football, basketball and baseball. Now that its football season, his Sundays are spent in front of the TV, at a bar or at a friends house watching (and betting) on games. God forbid I make plans for us on Sundays. I grew up watching all the above with my dad so I have no problem sitting and watching a game or 2 with him. Last night was Monday Night Football and his beloved New York Jets were playing. As the clock neared 8:30, his entire demeanor…

You know what really grinds my gears…. The fact that I’ve been married since May 2010 and I still have yet to receive my wedding album AND pictures. I absolutely love and adore our photographers and have nothing bad to say about them but I want those effing pictures already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got pregnant, had the damn baby and she’s half way to turning 1…….. and still no photographic proof of our nuptials. I have picture frames all ready to go, but nothing to put in them. Are they sewing the album stitch by stitch while hand painting each f$#@-ing picture?…

Aside from my crazy baking attempts, I really do love to cook. I come from a long line of stellar chefs: my grandfather was a chef,  my cousin is a chef, my nanny(my gramma), dad and mom are all amazing cooks. I watched my parents and nanny cook my entire life and I must say their passion was passed on. Every night dinner is on the table when my husband comes home from work. It’s been like that since we moved in together 2 years ago. When I was working full time, I always looked for recipes online that would…

My favorite day of the week. I’m kinda obsessed with buying accessories. Earrings, bracelets, rings, bangles, necklaces…ahh pure bliss. Every time I go to the mall I buy a new accessory to add to my collection. The entire wall in my closeet is covered with all my accessories-my husband thinks I have major problems. Little does he know….ha! I am all about the deals(as you know) and my fave store is Forever21 (again, as you know) so I go nuts in the jewelry/accessory section of that store. They have awesome trendy jewelry for half the price of department stores. Yeah yeah yeah,…

No, not diapering your child. Pampering yourself, duh! Every woman – single, married, mom or not – should be pampered AT LEAST once a month, if not more. Whether it be by their husbands/boyfriends on a date night, getting a facial or massage, or buying a new outfit, taking a little time to yourself will do wonders. My monthly battery-recharging is a mani/pedi. I adore my alone time at the salon. Don’t get me wrong, I do shop to recharge too, but this is the most relaxing I do for 2 straight hours in the middle of the day. I…

She is. A dirty, filthy, stinking, ripped, bad ass hoe. 2 weeks ago I started her 20 minute ’30 Day Shred 1′ workout DVD. Mind you, I haven’t worked out in over a year and a half. How bad could 20 minutes be, right? WRONG! I could not walk for 6 days after that. That bitch killed me!! Before I got pregnant, I would work out almost every day, run at least 3 miles a day and do some type of strength training, so I figured 20 minutes would be cake. I was sadly mistaken. I literally could not lift…

The people-hater baby of mine turns 6 months old tomorrow. Every one says how each month she changes, she gets bigger, does new things, blah blah – yeah, I know, I get it. But I was under the impression that she will stay littles for at least one or two more months. Not use the side of the crib as a jungle gym/teether! This morning I walked in on her STANDING, holding on to the crib sides while chewing her little heart out on the nice and very expensive crib. After taking my obligatory picture for my husband and screaming, …

I have always had a slight problem with shopping. At one point in time my parents seriously considered sending me to therapy. I told them they were the crazy ones. I never got myself into money problems with my self-proclaimed shopping addiction, but I just love buying new things. When I’m having a shitty day, buying a new outfit or accessories made me feel a million times better. Retail Therapy bitches. I was never a spoiled little brat that got everything I ever asked for. I’ve been working since the age of 12 with babysitting jobs for my neighbors, then…

I’m a total bonehead. I am ashamed to admit I eff’d up the original Anti Mom Blog Facebook page. If my old bosses could see me now, they would be shaking their head in disgust. I blame the baby brain!!!!! I have had the worst case of baby brain ever since I had my little anti-social baby. I can’t remember shit and my brain cells have completely diminished. One can only hope that it will wear off soon. Does it!?!?!? Please tell me it does!! Anyways. Here is my brand spankin’ new Facebook Page! Check it out …….. and you…
