Less scrolling. More living.
This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as a part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I’ve realized that being an “East Coaster” (and especially a New Yorker) can really take a toll on your health. It’s a given – we work ourselves to the bone, are impatient, have zero tolerance, and are exposed to tons of germs and smog, fumes, ick all day everyday. I’ve come to find… Keep Reading
I am a boy mom. And happy about that for many reasons. Because girls can be hard. Especially when it comes to clothes. I know this because I once was one. Thankfully in age of technology and online shopping, there are more options than my Levi’s at Sears. Meet kidpik – a subscription-based monthly box of clothes shipped right to your door, and custom curated based on your tastes. For… Keep Reading
If you’ve been following along on my 2016 goals, you’ll see I am continuing on the less is more, simpler lifestyle… 2015 was all about eliminating processed foods from our diets (okay not ALWAYS, sometimes a dirty water dog in Central Park is necessary).Then we looked into removing chemicals – from dish soap to shampoo. Then we started removing plastics and adding bamboo to cooking utensils and trading in our… Keep Reading
In America, the Super Bowl is pretty much a holiday. In fact as a kid, growing up I felt they should always cancel school the next morning because you were up so late (I still believe that anyone who is a fan of the winning team should be a “free pass” off of work the next morning!). Football is about an American as you can get, and it’s literally a… Keep Reading
It’s official, the Steelers are out of the running and the winter cold is blowing outside. New York City is frigid. That means it’s time to crawl up in the fetal position and cry and drown yourself in carbs. Because it’s January. You’re all about resolutions? I’m all about hibernating for the next 60 days. Ok, so yes, I am still training for the Pittsburgh Marathon in April, but that… Keep Reading
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #VivaLaMorena #CollectiveBias It might be cold out, but the road to the big game is heating up. This Saturday, the pigskin will be tossing high in the Rocky Mountains and hopefully ends with a black and gold victory. In preparation, I’ve been stepping up my “homegating” skills by trying to make new finger friendly options…. Keep Reading
Last year I took 24 trips. T W E N T Y FOUR. With the Steelers back in the Playoffs this weekend on the trip to the Super Bowl it made me look back, to so many road trips I’ve made in my life, including driving to Indianapolis to watch the Giants win back in 2012, and just this fall to see the Steelers beat the Raiders at Heinz Field. This… Keep Reading
Yes, there is an app for everything these days, and living in NYC, we usually get to test them out before the rest of the world. We’re just lucky to have more people per square-foot than almost any other place on the planet. Being a New Yorker, sometimes I forget that we are the “unusual” ones (preschool admissions, $3,000 a month for a tiny apartment). When friends come to visit… Keep Reading
I know all too well how much work holiday cookies can be. They always sound like a lot of fun, but then, UGH – you realize that you have to duplicate that one batch a few more times. And roll the dough. And cut. And not burn. Sometimes this can just be overwhelming for the novice baker who attempts it once a year. I’ve had a lot of people ask… Keep Reading
I miss the days of huge cooking parties in a big kitchen. Back in Pittsburgh, we used to all chip in and drink and have a blast making meals together. With little kitchens here in NYC, it’s not always the easiest, so even though I’ve cooked with friends, it’s been limited to about two or three friends. Sometimes I get to play in large kitchens again, like the weekend before… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. Let’s be honest, we all have a few moments of naughty (and nice) every year. That’s what makes life fun. We can’t be Stepford wives with Pinterest perfect craft projects – no us moms sometimes have to deliver Doritos from the corner bodega for snack time at school, sometimes we drink too much wine watching Netflix after the… Keep Reading
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Hershey’s KISSES Deluxe. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Maximo is a lover (well, and maybe also a fighter). He is one of the sweetest kids in his class and always says goodbye to his classmates with hugs or kisses before he goes home. As a three-year-old… Keep Reading
