Breakfast for 2: Hash Brown Egg Muffins

Breakfast may be one of my favorite meals to eat. I love eggs, bacon, hash browns, fruit, waffles, pancakes – I could go on for days. Thing is, I typically do NOT like to cook it. I don’t know why, but I just don’t. So it was a bit of a shock to both my husband and I when I decided to surprised him with Hash Brown Egg Muffins the other morning. I’m pretty sure he thought he was still drunk from the night before and dreaming of this but I reassured him hell had indeed frozen over and I made a…

eShakti : Dress For All Occasions

Posted by Amanda in Carousel, January, Shopping

Way, way back in the day (before kids), I was all about fashion. I was on top of the latest trends, hottest looks and what looked good on my body type. Fast forward to today, where I have no idea what the hottest trends are and 2 pregnancies later, my body has totally changed from what it used to be. My hips and ass have now expanded and my boobs, well, have peaced out leaving me with only memories of what it was like to have nice rack. Instead of just grabbing any size off the rack, I really need to try…

The Love Yourself Movement #MTMEShop

Posted by Amanda in February

Here at The Anti Mom Blog, I am always preaching about parent’s – especially moms – making time for themselves. Whether it’s an hour or just 5 minutes, a little “me” time goes a long way. After I put the girls to bed, I typically go enjoy a nice, hot, LONG shower then watch an episode of The Real Housewives of whatever or another guilty pleasure T.V. show. Go ahead, judge away, but you know you can’t resist all that drama either! So, I was extremely excited when Fatima over at Motherhood Through My Eyes contacted be about being apart of The…

Bouchon-Inspired Herb Goat Cheese Salad

Posted by Amanda in February, Recipes

On a recent trip to Napa, after spending the morning winery hopping, we headed for a light lunch at Bouchon Bistro. This is one of Thomas Keller’s phenomenal restaurants in the Napa area (His others are Ad Hoc, The French Laundry & Bouchon Bakery) and the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious and memorable meal. We devoured some in-house made bread from the Bouchon Bakery next door and a gigantic seafood tower full of clams, oysters, shrimp, lobster & mussels. Next came out the most deliciously simple warm herb goat cheese salad I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying! The…
