How Winter is Like A Scorned Woman

How Winter is Like A Scorned Woman

For a veteran Floridian (18 years & counting), who formally resided in the cold Northeast for majority of her life, I thank my lucky palm trees that I now live in the South. Your body gets so used to the warmth, that when you do visit the bitter cold, you feel like you are slowly being tortured by a real crazy person. After recently spending 5 days in the Northeast at my sister’s, I have come to the conclusion that winter is like a scorned woman: A real psycho bitch! You know that saying, ‘Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman’?  Hell hath no fury…

{Local Scene} Festival of the Arts Boca – West Side Story

When you’re JET you’re a JET all the way! From your first cigarette, till your last dyin’ day! West Side Story is one of the forever classics that will leave you singing for days and wishing you could solve all of life’s problems with snappy choreographed dance. The Anti Mom Blog was lucky enough to spend an evening under the stars viewing this classic film while listening to each song be played by an extremely talented orchestra. Thanks to the Festival of the Arts Boca, hundreds of movie-goers flocked to help kick off their 8th annual fest with this spectacular event….

Irish Soda Bread

St. Patty’s Day. A day to eat corned beef and cabbage, where green, drink green beer and party like you were actually Irish! Every year for as long as I can remember, my mom made a special meal of corned beef and cabbage with boiled potatoes and rye bread every St. Patty’s Day. I love making a huge sandwich full of meat, cabbage and potatoes and eating it all together. I’m weird, but seriously, give it a try. SO good, especially if you toss some yellow mustard on it. It wasn’t until a couple years ago that my sister started making…

{Sunday Dinner} Stuffed Shells with Homemade Sauce

Grab your favorite bottle of wine, pour yourself a glass and let’s start cooking, pisan’s! I love me some good old fashioned Italian Sunday dinners. Lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, some nice brasciole, maddone! I was brought up in a home with a old school first generation Italian father and an Italian New Yorker (Brooklyn) mother so I am no stranger to the Sunday dinner. Every weekend I would wake up on Sunday’s to the delicious smell of garlic and by 3 p.m. we would be sitting down for dinner. That’s how they did it growing up and by damn, that’s how…

{Kid Approved} Jennie-O Deli Turkey Skewers

My husband got the wild idea of having a Super Bowl party…..the day before the Super Bowl. Wasn’t that sweet of him? So of course the party planning was on my shoulders while he confirmed guests. I wanted to do some bites that wouldn’t be too much effort and still be delicious. I decided to whip up some appetizers that we could just pop in our mouth while watching the game. I have always been wanting to make some kind of toothpick skewered appetizer and vowed the next time we had guests, I’d do it. I had some Jennie-O Deli Turkey…

Purex PowerShot Detergent – Flip.Dose.Done!

Disclaimer: I have received this product for review and giveaway purposes only. All thoughts and opinions are my own, as always. I have had a lot of mishaps in the laundry room than one woman should in a lifetime. Shall I recall the Diaper Fiasco of 2012? So to say I was ecstatic when I was chosen to review the newest Purex product is an understatement. Recently, I had noticed that when I hang my clothes to dry in my laundry room, certain items had drips and drops of detergent on the tops of the shoulders and neckline. This had…
