With playoffs coming up, the buzz of championships is in the air. As a hardcore sports fan (alas, I do hail from Pittsburgh!), it also reminds me of how much I’ve already been preparing to be a parent by watching—and playing—sports for so many years. 1. You are the judge and the jury. It used to drive me crazy that there’s only one main referee in soccer—how can one person… Keep Reading
The Steelers are back in the Playoffs. It’s always a good way to kickoff 2015 or any year. Even though we’ve been in NYC for almost five years now, we (and I speak for Maximo as well) still bleed black and gold. Or is it yellow, now? We’re heading to Pittsburgh for the weekend, and ready to indulge is all the yinzer fun – that means overdosing on perogies and… Keep Reading
Being from Pittsburgh, fall is obviously our favorite time of year. Pretty sure this Buzzfeed article about white girls was written all about the ladies in the burgh – especially #7. Fall and football just go hand-in-hand. I haven’t experienced the holidays without the roars of crowds cheering from the television, and of course, dinners are always planned AROUND Steeler games. Now that I live in NYC AND I have… Keep Reading
Burgers, beers and a good cause. Last week I headed to the rooftop of Pier 92 to feast under the stars at the New York Wine and Food Festival (NYWFF) Burger Bash. Invited by JCPenney, I have to admit it was one of the best events I’ve attended in NYC this year. Numerous celebrity chefs including Rachel Ray, Robert Irvine and Alex Guarnaschelli and top NYC restaurants (like Smith & Wollensky’s,… Keep Reading
I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the Florida Department of Citrus. I received promotional item to thank me for participating. NYC takes football seriously. Even in a city full of tons of activities, sports and teams, football shines through – much to my delight. Last week I had the chance to get into the football mood by tossing some balls, tailgating, and grilling… Keep Reading
If you couldn’t tell by the name of my blog, I LOVE football. Sometimes I don’t always WRITE about it here because, well, the Steelers aren’t exactly playing in the Big Game this weekend….. But that doesn’t mean I am not SYKED for some football. And there are TONS of things going on around the city that can get you in the mood whether you particularly like football or not…. Keep Reading
I know I haven’t talked a lot about football on my blog, but when your 6-time superbowl winning team starts the season 0-4, there isn’t a lot to talk about. Except maybe again how I will always bleed black and gold. However this year, it’s #buctober – the Pirates are in the playoffs for the FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS! Say what??? So figured, maybe we can still kick-start the… Keep Reading
FINALLY. It’s that time of year. That time when all the boys (and ladies, excuse me) finally stop complaining about all of my posts on breastfeeding and peeing in public and actually READ my blog. (Note – I HAVE actually taken and used a breast pump in Heinz Field!) Yes boys and girls, we’re talking about football season. Or – STEELER SEASON, as one may refer to it in Pittsburgh….
