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
It’s December 1st and I can officially write about holiday shopping and Christmas trees without feeling like it’s treading on my turkey. Call me old fashioned, but I like my holidays one at a time. If you’ve known me for a long time, you know that I actually never liked to celebrate holidays. As an only child who isn’t close to her family I just had to need to. In… Keep Reading
It’s holiday season and, and just in time to start planning the MomTrends Annual Holiday Soiree shared all their top picks for gifts and products to throw your best holiday party yet. Nicole Feliciano and her team here in NYC turned a blank space into a winter wonderland starting with POM Wonderful cocktails on our way to mingle. So, true to media trendsetters form, while everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year again! The holidays are quickly closing in on us as we see trees going up, ice skating rinks opening, and holiday shops popping up. Being a train addict, Maximo’s obvious favorite exhibit (that he looks forward to every year!) is the Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Gardens. Not just for kids, this amazing display of NYC landmarks – made completely out of… Keep Reading
If you’re a “new” New Yorker, or just coming to visit, one of the most overlooked winter activities are the outdoor ice skating rinks – most are open through March (not just for the holidays!) If you want to avoid lines or go after the tourists have left, try visiting one of these during the week or after January. Also, many of these open really early in the year, so… Keep Reading
Ahhh the holidays in NYC – what a great time to live here (if you can tune out all the tourists). The trick to being a local is to enjoy all the holiday stuff before or when tourists won’t be there. Seriously, I’ve even been to see Santa at Macy’s without waiting in line with NO HELP or VIP. I am not going to give away the secret sauce, so… Keep Reading
I’ve had a breakthrough and I have to share it with you – JUST in time for you to amaze and awe all your family and friends for the holidays. A little background – every year I participate in the holiday recipe swap hosted by Doree Martin of Top Notch Mom and Susan aka The Foodette. Love them – it’s such a fun idea, especially since I love to try new… Keep Reading
Everyone’s doing gift guides this time of year – and all I can think is – what do I want? I’ve been spending a lot of time with moms (and non-moms) lately, and I’ve been secretly listening to their inner needs. So if you’re wondering what the ladies are looking for this year- I’ve done the work for you: The photographer This one is for myself too. I recently bought… Keep Reading
