The other day we were back home in the middle of farming fields at the church for my father’s funeral, and my son saw me start to tear up while standing up front to greet people. He immediately came up to me with a box of tissues and said, “Don’t cry, Mommy.” I thought it was the sweetest thing – until I saw him walk around and offer every single person… Keep Reading
Over here in Astoria, we’ve been huge Lyft fans for a long long time. Basically since they day Lyft arrived on the scene. We happen to live not-so-close to the subway (ok about a 15 min walk which I actually like AND we happen to have a building shuttle that takes us there). But! Sometimes – we miss it, it’s raining, we’re late for school or need to get to… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored #ad post by Meredith on behalf of Jif, New Balance, Munchkin, SwaddleMe and Visit Williamsburg – but seriously aren’t all these things awesome? All opinions are my own. How many times do you attempt a girls night out as a mom at the age of 36? I text my fellow mom friends at least once a week saying let’s have coffee, drinks or dinner, but each… Keep Reading
As a type-A personality, I love to plan and prepare and organize. Figuring out life is like a challenging and fun Tetris game that amuses me, but there are still some things in life you just can’t plan for – like losing a parent unexpectedly. I’ve had a flood of emotions and memories from my childhood, some good, some bad, but all bittersweet. You can’t help to feel the guilt… 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
It’s finally after Labor Day – meaning bikini season is dying down and we can get back to the things we love – carbs. We don’t have to keep ordering the basic kale salad for lunch -we can eat again! Football season and fall is all about comfort – the holidays are coming, big sweaters and big meals. However, now that you’ve been used to all that healthy food all… Keep Reading
Kraft Heinz sponsored this post, but the opinions are my own. Ahhhh do you feel that? It’s August and football is in there air – FINALLY. Pre-season games, fantasy football drafts and lots of time scoping the player lists on social media. Is that new rookie for the Black and Gold ready to perform like a Yinzer? While most moms are in back-to-school mode (ok, we are a little too),… Keep Reading
I think it’s safe to say that every parent wants their child to learn how to swim. But really – how do you DO that? We’ve tried a couple classes here and there since Max was born, and I remember vaguely going to classes as a child myself. They weren’t so nice back then and I still remember jumping in when they said they would catch me and I went… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Single Edition Media. This summer flew faster than Usain Blot in the Olympics. I don’t know about you, but back to school snuck right up on us and in two weeks, Max will start kindergarten. That means new school, new friends, new uniforms AND new grown up school supplies. #NotReadyToGrowUp. So we’re slowly transitioning into this new world of school-age life… Keep Reading
Back-to-school. The time of year that moms start scrambling back to reality and trying to figure out just what they need – where IS that list from the school anyways?! Even though Max will just be starting kindergarten, I’ve learned over the last couple of years in “preschool” what necessities are, or as mom’s call in – survival. Don’t go crazy and Amazon Prime so much you spend more than… Keep Reading
