Last weekend I tried something new for training (as I’m notorious to try crazy new athletic things like aerial yoga, tree climbing and bouldering…). Somehow, I’ve never participated in one of those mud runs -you know, where you literally jump in pools of mud – and when I was invited to the Poconos to try one (and we all know the Poconos is my happy place), I couldn’t resist seeing… Keep Reading
We gave up cable two years ago. Between my hectic traveling schedule and Maximo caring less about many of the channels, we just didn’t see a reason to pay the huge bill each month. Lucky for us, Netflix has also come a long ways in the last few years – adding in more selections of shows, movies, original programming and now, focusing on kids. Today, Meet the Kazoops! If you’re… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Chime as part of an Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. A few months ago I was celebrating a bachelorette party in Atlanta and offered to put the nightclub bill on my card and have it spit up at the end of the night. Apparently my bank didn’t like that and didn’t think it was really me at 1am popping… Keep Reading
One of my biggest guilty pleasures after coming home from a long day is not having to endure the tedious task of preparing and then cooking dinner. Frozen dinners and Seamless are my bad habit, especially after my train being delayed or when I didn’t have enough coffee that day. Lucky for our tiny NYC freezers (and wallets), some well-known companies like Healthy Choice have heard the cries of us trying… Keep Reading
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
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
