Finding time to work out is no new feat. We can all talk until we’re blue in the face about finding time, valuing yourself – blah blah blah. I can throw all the statistics at you that I want, but unless you’re ready for it, you’re just not going to do it. But I have captured your attention and you’re reading this so… there is a good chance you are…. Keep Reading
When’s the last time you got a night out with the girls? Can’t remember? Here’s your annual checkup to make sure you fit that in. I look forward to the Momtrends Moms’ Night Out every year. Well, I look forward to any and all moms’ night out that may occur, but once a year, Nicole pulls all us New Yorkers together for one night. We’re moms – city moms –… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Babbleboxx.com. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. Training for a run shouldn’t be hard. But like anything else you want to excel in in life, you have to put in the effort. Since a lot of you ask me what my necessities are for training season, I thought I’d make a little list to give you some insight but… Keep Reading
*This post is in partnership with UHCCF. All opinions are my own. Meet Sophia 2019-2020 Grant Ambassador Sophia has Down Syndrome and has struggled with her speech. She found it difficult to speak, and when tried she was unintelligible. It was difficult for her to converse with other children when trying to play or make friends, and even tell her parents her wants and needs. Her family requested a UHCCF… Keep Reading
Back to school has always been “a thing.” I have to say it’s really the one time of year that I feel has always been crazy, even before Pinterest and social media. I remember deading it as a tomboy and being dragged to the local Jamesway (yes, remember that!?) and then the actual mall over an hour away to hit up JC Penney for new outfits and UGH – dresses….

*This is a sponsored post on behalf of PackIt. My opinions are my own – of course! Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. School lunches are something that haunts parents just like August is one big Sunday night for teachers. What do we pack? What is healthy yet my kids will actually eat? And how do you keep things actually safe/edible when you “PackIt” at 6am for a 12pm lunch?! Something so… Keep Reading
Sometimes things just taste better when you make them yourself. Corndogs are hard to beat though – I think mainly cause you just don’t get the carnival nostalgia when you bake these in the oven, but the flavor is there, and trust me – when it’s cold and miserable out, these will instill all those feelings of summer comfort food when you need them most. But for now, let’s talk… Keep Reading
We love museums. We’re surrounded by some of the best here in NYC and we try to pop in as much as possible. Especially since Max is old enough to remember and say, “remember that time we went to The Met and saw the naked statues?” Growing up on a farm, we didn’t get a lot of culture, so I myself am fascinated to be able to take a train… Keep Reading
The more you try to carve out time, it seems the less you have to spend. What happened to those days in my twenties when I had nothing to do but lay around all day hungover and watch movies and eat fast food? According to the NY Post, families get an average of 37 minutes of quality time together a day. That’s it. Okay, so they say it goes up… Keep Reading
We’re all guilty of it. We’re at the pool or beach and finally relaxing. Our kids are playing – everyone’s happy and then there we are – back on our phones. Aimlessly scrolling through FB from the pristine white beaches instead of watching our children play in the water. Or even being present. It’s not to make you feel bad, it’s just a sad truth that even myself fall into…. Keep Reading
