It’s not a surprise, but we run because, well, we love it. Runner’s high is real. The combination of fresh air, mind-clearing and also getting exercise has become one of the most important parts… Keep Reading

Pvolve yourself with this low-impact, high result method
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
Tailgate Time – The Essentials
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Babbleboxx. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. Tailgating is, in essence, an art. It’s not just about blacking out on Fireball by 11am, it’s about getting up in the early hours of the dark and cold to prep your grills and black and gold. It’s about cornhole, icy cold drinks and lots of Renegade. It’s like Christmas morning every… Keep Reading
The International Champions Cup is back in town for summer!
Growing up in Pittsburgh, we were always huge football fans. It wasn’t until Max was born and I lived in NYC that I learned what the real meaning behind “futbol” was. This sport was HUGE. Almost bigger than Steeler Nation. And with Maximo’s family being from two large soccer countries – Uruguay and Guatemala – this sport was quickly loved in the home. What isn’t there to love about soccer?… Keep Reading
Chick-fil-A just made your next party popping
Now that I am in my mid-30s (yes, middle-aged and fabulous over here!), I am allowed to admit and say, as you get older you get wiser. I’ve lived long enough to realize this. And that also, time and quality of life (especially as a mom) usually wins, too. I want to enjoy spending what time I have with my family and friends – and being disconnected. And while I… Keep Reading
Consider your holidays already made thanks to Sam’s Club
It’s officially 63 days till Christmas (but who’s counting?). There are two kinds of holiday shoppers – those who prefer stores, and those who prefer online. Since I do most of my shopping online here in NYC, it’s a real treat to hit up the stores and take in all the visuals, especially for the holidays. It’s sensory overload for us New Yorkers – in a good way. I am… Keep Reading
Yes, it’s okay to have your tailgate catered and here’s why…
Football season is here – even if the black and yellow might have missed the memo. Not to fear, no fair-weathered fans here. With or without Bell on the field, AB drama and Ben sporting an injury (as usual), we are still ready to rock each week in our yinzer favorites. Whether it’s at the game, at home or watching the game in a local bar (or the NFL app… Keep Reading
Let’s Make Tailgating Healthy Again
Tailgating gets a bad rep. You think beer chugging and huge men with beer bellies slurping wing sauce, sausages and fries. Not to take all your fun out of it, but tailgating can still be tasty without all the high-calorie artery clogging. Yinz will be livid for me offering lighter options, but let’s be honest – the trick is in the trade. You don’t have to down hoagies on the… Keep Reading
Why Salsa is Your New Favorite Ingredient
One thing I know about football season – it isn’t good for the waistline. Beers and brauts in the parking lots before the home page are always fun and delicious, but if you didn’t wonder why we wear all those weird wild pajama pants to tailgate in – well now you do (no one fits in their jeans after a good tailgate!). Being a bit older and more refined (grown… Keep Reading
