I had the pleasure of attending an amazing blogger event at Capitol Lighting to help celebrate their 88th year in business. Eric Lebersfeld (who bore a striking resemblance to celebrity chef Bobby Flay!) warmly greeted us into his store. I didn’t know where to look first with all the gorgeous light fixtures hanging. It was truly a shoppers dream! I mean, how can you beat a place that offers 110% price guarantee and price matching?! In fact, I was so angry I didn’t need a new fixture because so many caught my eye. This 4-generation family-run business started back in…
Design on a Dime
0I love me some decorating. Finding goodies for my house is probably one of my all-time favorite hobbies. The people in Homegoods know me by name. Since moving in a little over 2 years ago, I find myself constantly look around the rooms, trying to figure out what else can be done. It was great when I was working and had some extra income flowin’ in. But now that we are a one income family, I must watch my spending. No more clothes shopping when ever I want, and no more trips to Homegoods when ever I want! Wah!! So…
Child Proofing: My Arch Nemisis
0Now that Baby A is extremely mobile, she has pretty much said screw playing with toys and hello to her new friends the smelly garbage, my expensive pots and the stair case. Oh yeah, and every single cabinet in my house. It’s really fun. That only means one thing for me to do: time to baby proof. Kill me. In AntiMom fashion, I truly hate the way those child proofing contraptions look. Hanging all over the knobs and shit, looking all plastic-y. We spent good money on our house and furniture, now I have to crap it all up. UGH!…
Greatest Gifts for New Moms
0Its funny how a year and a baby changes your whole way of thinking. Every year, my family asks for everyone’s Christmas wishlist so we don’t go insane trying to find the perfect gift for everyone. Typically, mine list would consist of 5 basic things: Shoes, Clothes, Jewelry, Gift Cards and some type of electronic. This year was a tad different. Obviously clothes were still on the list, but so were other things that will help make my life easier. Like cooking appliances and a large bag so I can fit all Baby A’s stuff in on the go. Times…
Bah Humbug
0I ventured out to the stores finally to get some Christmas shopping done and all Ihave to say is bitches be crazy!!! Seriously, I must have encountered every douche bag on the face of the earth. For every 1 nice person I ran into, 5 aholes were right there behind them. I thought this was the “joyous” time of year when everyone is supposed to happy and spread good cheer and crap like that? I was sorely mistaken. Apparently it’s the time of year to be a an obnoxious d-bag and an ungrateful jerk. I promise you, I am not…
Cyber Monday > Black Friday
0I hate Black Friday with every ounce of my soul. In no way is it fun to go out shopping at midnight, wait in excruciating long lines with pushy, obnoxious people who in an instant will turn on you for a Nintendo game or barbie doll. I don’t know about you, but that is far from the “Christmas Spirit” that we all claim to have as soon as the turkey is down our hatchets. I get that people want a deal and decide to venture out after waking from their turkey comas, but how badly do you need that item…
Humpday Shopping – Online
0I am a huge fan of online shopping. Although I am very cautious of what sites I purchase from, I like to find new places to shop from time to time. My husband hates my shopping addiction but he is going to have to deal with it just like I have to deal with his Jets psychoness. I am all about getting things online that I can’t get in stores. The original the better baby. I found three awesome sites that are all budget friendly and original. ChloelovesCharlie that lives up to that. Extremely adorable, boutique clothing at reasonable prices….
Humpday Shopping – Shoe Dilemma
0I love shoes. But finding the right pair for a special occasion is next to impossible. Why is it that every time you shouldn’t be shopping you find amazing things that you MUST have, but when you need to buy something for an occasion you can never find what you are looking for?!?! It is so beyond frustrating!!! As you can see I am having one of those moments…for the past 2 weeks. I bought an amazing dress for a wedding a couple weeks in advanced so I wasn’t rushing around last minute. I figured I would have a sexy…
Winter Jacket? What’s That?
0I am very fortunate to be living in the tropical weather all year round. Florida is awesome. Yeah sure, there is no such thing as season changes down here and it gets hot as hell during the summer but who really cares, that’s why we have the beach, pool and palm trees to distract us. I’ve lived here for 15 years and do not plan on leaving. I grew up in the north and experienced the crappy ass winters and snow. Shits fun to visit but I prefer year-round bathing suit weather. Since I have been transplanted down here and…
