I made this. From a meal kit in a crock pot. Don’t believe it? Let me tell you how I got here…. There are two types of people in this world – those who love to grocery shop and those who dread it. Depending upon the day of the week I can be both, despite the fact there is a Stop & Shop literally around the corner from my kids… Keep Reading
Each year (or actually month) it seems is bringing more and more adventure our way, and more and more I’ve been debating getting car. If you’ve seen the last few of my posts, you’ve seen that we’ve been testing out a few – from the new VW Atlas in Vermont to roading tripping to Pittsburgh, Cape Cod and the Poconos in Ford and Mazda. Then is week we popped in… Keep Reading
After spending a weekend completely unplugged in Vermont (our little barn cottage literally didn’t even have a TV!), I have realized I miss some of the things I grew up with: reading books under a tree, really good homemade pie, and photographs on the shelves of your home. Seriously – when is the last time you printed a photo? I took all these amazing shots in Vermont, and I thought,… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post by TruMoo provided by The Motherhood. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. Maybe it’s age creeping up with me, maybe it’s stress, but getting a workout in, even if just 30 min of walking, everyday is what is helping me feel human. Maybe it’s just taking a few min a day for myself, but overall, working out has been a great stress… Keep Reading
I have always been a data nerd – ask my previous Comcast coworkers. Numbers and charts and finding new compelling evidence really intrigue me, it’s always the drive behind being a writer anyways – to find out the stories that are not being told (remember when I was supposed to go to Africa and be the next Martha Gelhorn?). So I am not sure how I missed Consumer Reports all these… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care. Thank you for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. A parents worst nightmare is having to take their child to the emergency room. On top of having to worry about your sick child there is also the additional worry about the the overall emergency room experience. I’ve had the unfortunate pleasure of taking my daughter to the emergency room after she rolled… Keep Reading
Thank you Poise® for sponsoring this post. Follow Poise on Facebook and Twitter and share how you Seize Your #PoiseMoment. Light. Bladder. Leakage. It’s like a bad word but it’s way more common than you would think among women – and not just with those who give birth. LBL is something that affects 1 in 3 women. Many women aren’t comfortable talking about light bladder leakage, but Poise® knows that for… Keep Reading
You see it in the news, on your Facebook feed and through whispers at school all too often. A child has a medical emergency and the parents don’t have enough money to cover it. It’s scary and we all just kind of put our heads down and feel bad for them, hoping IF it happens to us that insurance or our money nest will cover it. But what if it… Keep Reading
Every year it gets worse and worse – the dreaded birthday planning for the kids. And as they get older, they have more opinions, want more things…. birthdays are so out of hand it’s almost like planning a wedding once a year six months in advance. Over it. This year, I am taking birthday’s back and celebrating – you guessed it – ME. BM (Before Maximo) I used to celebrate… Keep Reading
Being that Pittsburgh’s Stanley Cup winning hockey team is named after this cute water bird (or is it mammal?), we’ve always been big fans of penguins. Frankly who isn’t? April 25 is World Penguin Day – and while Pittsburgh doesn’t need any help with their PENS, the birds around the world could use our love to help keep them from extinction. Stonyfield YoKids is sponsoring the AZA SAFE (Saving Animals from Extinction)… Keep Reading
