Mom’s Survive Summer Giveaway!

We are one month closer to Summer! (A collective groan is heard around the world from mom’s) There was nothing better than summer when I was a kid, and frankly, as an adult, it still is kicks butt. I have to admit, I am a little nervous though about this summer. See, it is my first summer after having my oldest in preschool 3 days a week. I have been racking my brain on how to keep her busy. We do take a couple trips up north to see family over the summer (when all the snow is melted!), but what about…

Dial has finally ventured into the children’s personal care department with Dial Baby and Dial Kids! Both of Dial’s new kid personal care products were developed with Pediatric Dermatologists for the gentlest and safest products you can trust. With all the scary ingredients that we read about in our children’s body washes, shampoo and lotions, it is a nice relief to know that Dial is on our side in this mission for protecting our kids. Dial Baby Body + Hair Wash and Dial Kids Foaming Hand Wash were made with no added parabens, no artificial dyes, hypoallergenic and pH balanced for a cleaner, healthier…

Avocado Turkey Burgers {21 Day Fix Approved}

Have you ever been stuck in a rut and didn’t know if you could find a way out? Yep, that has been me. Totally exhausted, hating everything about myself, you know, the “self-loathing-whoa-is-me” whole nine yards. With suggestion and motivation from my blogging friend Mandi (check out her blog here, she rocks!), I decided to try 21 Day Fix. If you are seriously looking to change the way you think and look at food and exercise – this is the program for you! Already into my second round, and I feel like a whole different person. Since my life revolves…

Brussel Sprout Salad

If you like crunchy, crispy, chopped salad then you will absolutely love this Brussel Sprout Salad. I didn’t feel like screwing up the gorgeous bag of brussel sprouts I bought a few weeks ago (I tend to burn the crap out of them!) and I thought about a salad I had a brunch when visiting my girlfriends in Atlanta. It was so incredibly delicious and tasted like coleslaw – minus the fatty fat mayo-based dressing! I chopped up that bag, tossed in some fresh veggies, a killer dressing and have not stopped eating it since. We have literally had it…

{How To} Clean Pen off Microfiber

Buying a microfiber couch was probably one of the smartest things my husband and I did when we moved into our house 5 years ago. This was well before we were even thinking about kids, so high-5 to us make such a conscience and adult like decisions! Truth be told, I just liked the color and style of the couch, could have cared less what the fabric it was! Fast forwad 5 years and 2 kids later, that couch has had pretty much everything you could think of spilled on it. So when my 1 year old decided that the couch…

Baked Zoodles

If you would have told me I’d be making a dish containing Zoodles (zucchini noodles=zoodles) a year ago, I most likely would have laughed in your face! This was one of the veggies I didn’t care for much, but it has been growing on me. So much so that I actually made zoodles! If you don’t have a spirilizer, it could be quite the feat making this. I took my mandoline out from storage (the one I so needed on my wedding registry), dusted that guy off after 5 years and then had to watch a freakin’ YouTube video on how…

{Review} Spicy Subscriptions

Over here at The Anti Mom Blog, we like to do things that are a bit unorthodox. There may be cursing, there may be long rants, there may be a LOT of alcohol consumption and there even may be some totally obscure references to parenting, family and life in general. So que the 70’s porn music…..cause today we are talking about Spicy Subscriptions! Being married for almost 5 years, I have learned that things can get pretty complacent and routine, quickly. Even in the place we don’t like to talk about – the bedroom. Well, that’s where Spicy Subscriptions comes in…

Napa Valley’s Top 5

We recently visited Napa, California and we are still reveling in the experience! Between the gorgeous scenery, abundance of wines, wineries and restaurants, we were in true and utter heaven. I have been to Napa numerous times but I have never actually stayed there. It was only day trips from San Franscisco, one of the luxuries of living out west. This trip was all about Napa and what an experience it was! From waking up to the fog covered mountain ranges to seeing the sun set on the vineyards, Napa quickly jumped up to one of my most favorite places in…

5 Statement Tees For Spring

Spring is upon us! Well…most of us, at least. It’s time to start cleaning out closets, put away the heavy coats, sweaters and head outside in the sun! I love nothing more than to spruce up my wardrobe this time of year. Statement tee’s have been lighting up my social feeds for a while now and seriously, some of them are freakin’ too cute for words. Back in college, when I thought I was cool, I would rock statement tee’s all the damn time. I know you all remember these beauties from Urban Outfitters! I clearly thought I was cooler than…
