This is a sponsored post by Poise. Thanks for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. Have you ever had that nightmare where you are sitting in school (like a good 80s movie) and look down and you’re naked or have peed your pants? Well, if you’ve ever experienced the joy of pregnancy in your life, most likely both of those nightmares have come true. Pregnancy. What a wonderful and torturous thing… Keep Reading
When I first started running, I couldn’t even run a full mile. I think every runner has started here at one point. As I’ve told friends who would like to get into running as well, you just have to push through that first goal, and then every mile after is a PR (Personal Record) in itself. To me, running was about clearing my head; getting outside and walking away from… Keep Reading
Out of all the traveling we do all year, one was unexpected. We had to travel back to dairy country for my gram’s memorial service. You can read the obituary I did for her here. Farm life isn’t an easy life. For some reason today I feel like they paint this glamorous photo lifestyle of everything. I used to think NYC was picture perfect until I moved here, and now… Keep Reading
Realizations: Being a mom is hard. Being a mom in the summer, harder. Being a mom trying to train for a marathon in the summer, impossible. Kids and me time just do not equate, and there comes a time in every moms life when the word babysitter pops into their heads. If you haven’t seen Bad Moms yet, go watch it now, and then come back to read this. As… Keep Reading

Usually I save movies for Apple TV and my couch, but last week we decided to beat the heat and head indoors for an icy cool afternoon in the Ice Age for a sneak peek at the latest summer blockbuster for kids. The newest film in this series, Collision Course is now in theaters and here’s why you’ll wanna grab some ice pops and watch it will the kids! What… Keep Reading
My gram passed away this weekend. She was basically my mother figure and made me the person I am today. Death is always inevitable, but it’s still never a fun pill to swallow. Thank you for your condolences in advance, but she’s been miserable in a home for a year now with dimentia and I believe her wild soul is finally free. She wasn’t the gram who I knew that… Keep Reading
As a former farmer, I am very passionate about this cause. We never treated our animals inhumanely, we saw them as the source of food they provided and had an appreciation for that. We only had as many cows as we could manage – not trying to cram them into dirty pens. They grazed pastures and feasted on the feed all winter we worked so hard to stock up in the… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Meta Appetite Control as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. Summer is hard. Hard to balance health, self and parenting. Kids are off school so that means your daily workout routine is off, you’re traveling more, and let’s be honest – most of that traveling revolves around the kids and “kid food.” Meta Appetite Control has been a life saver for me these last couple… Keep Reading
The other day I was riding the subway home with Max. We were getting off the train and he tripped walking towards the stairs. I stopped, but waiting for him to pick himself up. We’d been in the city all day walking and it was around 2:30pm, so when I saw little tears forming, I knew it was because he was just utterly exhausted. I went to take his hand… Keep Reading
