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
3 Easy Cookie Recipes for Beginner Bakers
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 Cooked Pistachios with Friends and the Outcome was Incredible
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
Naughty or Nice – Which List Are You On?
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
Say More with KISSES
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

App of the Month: Asurion to the (phone) rescue!
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
Football with Friends + 12-Pizza Giveaway!
Ahhh, football season. Is there any better way to enjoy carbs and friends at the same time? Yes, we definitely try to be healthy here but sometimes, well, tailgates and football aren’t exactly, er, easy on the waistline. And that’s okay, just like the Steelers, you can’t always have a perfect season. Since I was at the Steelers/Raiders game last week in Pittsburgh (and the game was literally a nail… Keep Reading
A Latino-American Thanksgiving
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #VivaLaMorena#CollectiveBias Now that Max is getting older and likes to help out with things (and basically is smarter than me and understands everything), I felt it was important to include him in traditions, and start our own. Since he’s part Guatemalan, part Uruguayan, part White Girl American (lol – I knew know what… Keep Reading
Yinzer-Worthy Tailgate Recipes
In preparation for my trip to Pittsburgh next week and attending my annual Steelers game right at home at Heinz Field, I’ve been trying to prep for tailgating by testing out some new recipes and finger foods at home. Listen, we take tailgating serious in Pittsburgh, and you can never just “wing it.” When there are flat screens, hired DJs spinning and real chefs tossing up steaks and burgers on the… Keep Reading
