The holidays came in hot this year, not that many are complaining. It also means SNOW and ski season is right around the corner. While we’ve taken a step back these last couple years in large, over-the-top festive celebrations, we’ve reconnected with family and friends more than ever. We’ve realized that spending a few uninterrupted quiet moments under a tree sharing a snack together means a lot more than stressful… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Blue Diamond® as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Summer is known for rooftop spritzers, sandy days at the beach and park bbqs. So where does a plant-based diet fit into all of these? A lot of advice says to bring your own food to parties so you have something to eat. While that works for… Keep Reading
Abrams Books sent me the book to check out and is partnering with me for a giveaway! All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. We’ve become big fans of this series since I met the author, Andrea Beaty, at a conference in Brooklyn last year. While they have major leading ladies in these books and you might think they’re not good for boys too… Keep Reading
Still wondering what the F to get your child for the holidays this season? If you’ve read any of my prior holiday pieces, you’ll see that he’s not the easiest to find out (or is one to just give a full list of circled toys in a magazine). Besides using Santa to pull out the usual toy car, Lego, books items, there is always something that he gets that doesn’t… 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
Because when you have six-year-old boys in your house, you start to learn about all the weird toys on the market and how kids just LOVE stuff like this. In the year of 2018, it’s the more weird and bizarre it is, the cooler it is – so enter on the market something as redic as Zits. For the pre-puberty child who doesn’t really have to worry about these yet… Keep Reading
I grew up on a farm – probably as country as one gets. I don’t think anyone in my family ever thought I would go city, and here I am breaking stigmas since 2010. The funny part is – if you don’t know me that well, you would never guess that I used to milk cows, drive tractors and own a few pair of cowboy boots, and love shopping for… Keep Reading
If you’ve never seen a Cirque du Soleil, you need to grab tickets to this show ASAP. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to see a few in Vegas, Pittsburgh and New York, but Max hasn’t yet. Since he’s five and LOVE Broadways shows, this is now the perfect time to introduce him to the incredible show – OVO as one last hurrah before heading back-to-school for kindergarten. Cirque du Soleil: OVO will… Keep Reading
After spending a weekend completely unplugged in Vermont (our little barn cottage literally didn’t even have a TV!), I have realized I miss some of the things I grew up with: reading books under a tree, really good homemade pie, and photographs on the shelves of your home. Seriously – when is the last time you printed a photo? I took all these amazing shots in Vermont, and I thought,… Keep Reading
You see it in the news, on your Facebook feed and through whispers at school all too often. A child has a medical emergency and the parents don’t have enough money to cover it. It’s scary and we all just kind of put our heads down and feel bad for them, hoping IF it happens to us that insurance or our money nest will cover it. But what if it… Keep Reading
