We had one hell of a year. A lot of big ups and a lot of big downs, just like there always are but one thing is for sure – life goes on. Change happens. Every year we seem to forget that, and expect things to always be better, always be happier and always move forward. Because of that, we are more disappointed and see roadblocks as set backs instead… Keep Reading
Yes, there is an app for everything these days, and living in NYC, we usually get to test them out before the rest of the world. We’re just lucky to have more people per square-foot than almost any other place on the planet. Being a New Yorker, sometimes I forget that we are the “unusual” ones (preschool admissions, $3,000 a month for a tiny apartment). When friends come to visit… Keep Reading
I know all too well how much work holiday cookies can be. They always sound like a lot of fun, but then, UGH – you realize that you have to duplicate that one batch a few more times. And roll the dough. And cut. And not burn. Sometimes this can just be overwhelming for the novice baker who attempts it once a year. I’ve had a lot of people ask… Keep Reading
I miss the days of huge cooking parties in a big kitchen. Back in Pittsburgh, we used to all chip in and drink and have a blast making meals together. With little kitchens here in NYC, it’s not always the easiest, so even though I’ve cooked with friends, it’s been limited to about two or three friends. Sometimes I get to play in large kitchens again, like the weekend before… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. Let’s be honest, we all have a few moments of naughty (and nice) every year. That’s what makes life fun. We can’t be Stepford wives with Pinterest perfect craft projects – no us moms sometimes have to deliver Doritos from the corner bodega for snack time at school, sometimes we drink too much wine watching Netflix after the… Keep Reading
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Hershey’s KISSES Deluxe. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Maximo is a lover (well, and maybe also a fighter). He is one of the sweetest kids in his class and always says goodbye to his classmates with hugs or kisses before he goes home. As a three-year-old… Keep Reading
It’s December 1st and I can officially write about holiday shopping and Christmas trees without feeling like it’s treading on my turkey. Call me old fashioned, but I like my holidays one at a time. If you’ve known me for a long time, you know that I actually never liked to celebrate holidays. As an only child who isn’t close to her family I just had to need to. In… Keep Reading
It’s holiday season and, and just in time to start planning the MomTrends Annual Holiday Soiree shared all their top picks for gifts and products to throw your best holiday party yet. Nicole Feliciano and her team here in NYC turned a blank space into a winter wonderland starting with POM Wonderful cocktails on our way to mingle. So, true to media trendsetters form, while everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving… Keep Reading
Sometimes New York gets a bad name, and people think it’s impossible to raise a family here. It’s true, sometimes it’s not easy, but I think overall Raising kids in NYC is pretty good – and have a lot of help. I don’t know how I would survive honestly having to drive to get my Starbucks fix every am, when I can just grab it on every corner. 1. Seamless.com… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Asurion as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. We’ve all been there. You get that dreaded pop-up that says you’re out of room on your phone. Every. Single. Time you go to catch the cutest photo of your kids doing something that no other kid can ever do, right? Short of saying F it and running to the Apple store to get a… Keep Reading
