Everyone knows the Vitamix as the supreme blender/mixer do-it-all tool for the kitchen, but are you actually using it? Not much intimidates me, but I wasn’t sure how to really get into the mix of this fancy machinery. I tried making smoothies, but they just weren’t coming out perfect – maybe I was adding too much since it was so big? Blended soups were no problem – my Butternut… Keep Reading
Alll the joys of BTS (back to school for you NOOBS) are here people! Schedules, homework, tests and yes, school lunches. I didn’t realize that going to our school meant making school lunches for basically the rest of my life. That’s a commitment, so anything making that morning routine easier is MUSIC TO MY EARS. But I also have a picky eater. So all those fancy cute lunches you parents… Keep Reading
Disclosure, those of you who knew me from Pittsburgh, I must admit something – Vera is gone. It was a good few years, but it was time. Vera (my Vera Wang pillow top mattress from da burgh) was ready to retire. To make a long story short, old age is clearly catching up on me. I run a lot and it’s taking a toll on my legs and back, and… Keep Reading
One thing I know about football season – it isn’t good for the waistline. Beers and brauts in the parking lots before the home page are always fun and delicious, but if you didn’t wonder why we wear all those weird wild pajama pants to tailgate in – well now you do (no one fits in their jeans after a good tailgate!). Being a bit older and more refined (grown… 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
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Disney Book Group. All opinions and recipes are my own. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. I thought biting was only for babies. But then, the savage child I am raising bit off the top of my brand new water bottle in a matter of minutes. Then there was the headphone cord, my phone charger… and well, someone was going… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year where parents rejoice that the kids are finally heading back to school. But first comes the shopping. For us in private schools, we don’t get to embark on the wild BTS clothing shopping sprees, so we indulge in the more refined. The supplies. It seems that back to school is torturous to every parent in their own way, but in 2018, there are a lot… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Riondo Prosecco. All opinions are 100% mine. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that National Prosecco Day falls in the middle of August. August is like one long Sunday where you know school is just looming in the shadows. And August is hot – too hot sometimes that it’s just the perfect excuse (especially when it falls on a… Keep Reading
1. You want to arrive early. All the regulars know that you show up early. As in two hours before the show early (sometimes sooner!). We arrived at 3pm for our 5pm showing and there was already a line outside! Not to worry, they let you in the building early and there is also some fun entertainment outside to keep you busy while you wait. Keep an eye out for… Keep Reading
I still remember my first A&W Root Beer Float. A&W Root Beer was a favorite of dads, and he no regards when teaching me how to love and perfect the root beer float. Ice cold mugs, soda and vanilla ice cream because a special treat between just him and I over the years, and I remember watching him carefully scoop the ice cream into the tall frosty mugs only to… Keep Reading
