This post is sponsored by Laffy Taffy. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. This Halloween, Laffy Taffy is all about getting families together to create costumes together. So I thought this mighe be a fun excuse to get some mom/son bonding time. I have my moments of creativity (see my chicken costume here), but I think it’s important to know what our strengths are. Some people can’t… Keep Reading
We love museums. We’re surrounded by some of the best here in NYC and we try to pop in as much as possible. Especially since Max is old enough to remember and say, “remember that time we went to The Met and saw the naked statues?” Growing up on a farm, we didn’t get a lot of culture, so I myself am fascinated to be able to take a train… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by Kohl’s. I was paid for this post and received the included jewelry as compensation. Max and I were in the middle of a solid tickle war the other day when he accidentally grabbed and snapped the chain on my everyday necklace. He was completely devastated as a six-year-old would be, even though I reassured him we could have it fixed. He adamantly exclaimed he wanted… Keep Reading
We may be New York City dwellers, but we are country boys and girls at heart. It’s funny that the older you get, the more you start to embrace your roots. Or maybe it’s just all the concrete, but we find ourselves hanging out in wide open fields, snowy mountains, large lakes and lush forests more and more. And so it says, being outdoors has TONS of benefits, and if you’ve… Keep Reading
If you had to define your style – what would it be? That’s hard for a Yinzer. I’ll just say it – we don’t have the best style. Sorry out there Pittsburgh, but we don’t lol. I look back on my style in my twenties especially and it was a lot more on the Glamour Don’t list than Do. There was a lot of goth/bad ass mixed with really purple eyeshadow… Keep Reading
Enough about Bell, Ben and bad decisions. We need to get back into the game ourselves and dress ourselves like the fanatics we are. This year, there are a few on my list I really want (but a couple are already sold out!), so I’ve drawn up the five new pieces I just added to my black and gold for the sixburgh championships. You can see all the items on… Keep Reading
As if shopping in New York City wasn’t a hit to your wallet as is, the holidays really take it out on your bank account with their holiday markets and pop-ups. But let’s be honest – that’s why we live here and we love all these cool things only being a short cab or subway ride away. For this holiday season, there are three that should really be on your… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com. I am basically the worst gift giver out there. I am terrible at ideas, wait till the last minute, and apparently don’t listen and make lists on what people really love in order to get it for them. But people are HARD to shop for, and in the world where you can get anything literally within the same day or next day delivery, it’s hard… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post by prAna – but all opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting Football Food and Motherhood! You have to love that athleasure wear is the cool trend these days. What is better for a mom on-the-go than being able to look cute and feel comfortable? With all the walking, commuting around the city and constant moving (bend and snap, anyone?), I need clothes that can… Keep Reading
I maybe have earned my New Yorker card after 7 years in this city, but my heart is still (and always will be) Yinzer. If I had to say my favorite way to dress was “down” and that I can pull it off – totally. Yinzer in my blood means looking good while not trying to look like you actually care. Is Yinzer the original Hipster? I mean, boys in… Keep Reading
