{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

Posted by Amanda in Carousel, March, Recipes

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

Posted by Amanda in Carousel, March

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…

Sauteed Greens with Cannellini Beans

Posted by Amanda in March, Recipes

The Anti Mom Blog is goin’ healthy, bitches! I have taken the next steps in making the family a bit more healthier and started a whole new lifestyle change…aka 21 Day Fix. It’s brutal, I’m starving but it’s all for the better of my family and myself. So I am embracing it every container at a time. It ain’t easy and come nighttime, I turn into a particular ‘Gap Girl’. It’s all for a better me, right? OK, with that being said, my brain has been scrambling to make some fresher, filling meals that I could use going forward. That’s…

Napa Valley’s Top 5

Posted by Amanda in Carousel, March

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

Posted by Amanda in Carousel, March

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…

How Winter is Like A Scorned Woman

Posted by Amanda in Carousel, March

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…

Irish Soda Bread

Posted by Amanda in Carousel, March, Recipes

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…
