So I may be in my 30’s, with two small children, but I make no secret about the way I feel about Halloween. I freaking love this freaky fun holiday and if I could, I would celebrate it multiple times a year instead of just once. I love seeing all the crazy costumes, the adorable kids strutting their stuff, all the hard work some of these parents have done to decorate and create their own costumes and lets not forget about the pumpkins-love me a good jack-o-latern! There is one thing I do absolutely hate about Halloween, and it’s when you…
{Taco Tuesday} Turkey Lettuce Tacos
0Tacos have been on my mind since I saw a recent rerun of Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives and Guy was chowing down on some killer tacos at some amazing little hole in the wall. I figured a Taco Tuesday was in order! We usually eat on the later side because my husband works till about 6:30 every night and then family time with the kids follow for an hour until their bed time. So dinner is usually after all of that madness. I didn’t want to feel bust-at-the-seams full, so I thought about switching up the usual flour &…
Quit Prilosec Cold Turkey!
2Back in college, when I would drink 6 out of the 7 days a week, every morning after I’d wake up or before I ate for the day, I needed to take a Zantac. I really didn’t think much of it, I was young, stupid and hungover. I wanted something to kill the painful burning so I could continue with my day (and night!). After college, when I got a real job and got a tad wiser, I found Prilosec. I started taking that every morning and there would be no heart burn all day. It was awesome. I could eat…
Purex Crystals Aromatherapy Gives Laundry Energy!
1The Purex brand provided me with a sample of Purex Crystals Aromatherapy in exchange for a product review. However, all thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own. Laundry. It’s safe to say we all have a love-hate relationship with this chore. I come from a long line of launders, who unlike myself, enjoy spending hours in their “office” (aka the laundry room) folding, ironing and spin-cycling. Growing up I never did laundry, heck, I didn’t even know how to turn the machine on! When I went off to college, my mom gave me a quick tutorial and sent me to the…
Halloween Books For Kids
0Yes, I might be The Anti Mom Blog and hate most things like mom jeans, the word “guesstimate”, dark rum and annoying people but I do love books. More importantly, I love that my kids love books. I may not have time to sit around and flip through a good book as much as I’d like but I always have time to read to my girls. With Halloween being one of my favorite times of year, you bet your sweet ass that Halloween books are out by October 1st. I like to get my girls excited for Halloween just as much as…
