I have always been a data nerd – ask my previous Comcast coworkers. Numbers and charts and finding new compelling evidence really intrigue me, it’s always the drive behind being a writer anyways – to find out the stories that are not being told (remember when I was supposed to go to Africa and be the next Martha Gelhorn?). So I am not sure how I missed Consumer Reports all these… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Samsung as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Tax season. Ranks up there as the two most scariest words. Like “you’re fired,” “ketchup’s out” and “call 9-1-1!” But tax season doesn’t always have to be scary – if you’re doing it right. And having a good accountant is key to educate you. If… Keep Reading
This post was developed in partnership with Bayer, as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received the Aleve® Direct Therapy TM TENS Device and compensation to facilitate my review. I looked down at the pool of muddy water below and thought about the last three miles of mud, running and barbed wire. This was the final act, and as I slid down the massive slide into the cess pool of… Keep Reading
I remember LBP (life before Prime). Especially as a mom and a New Yorker, two-day free shipping was life changing. I could literally buy one thing at a time (instead of always trying to remember what I was out of in a list) and have it show up. Literally, it’s become my favorite thing to do on the walk to school – what did I need? Ketchup? Ok – done…. Keep Reading
Last week we logged over 30 hours in a car. And we don’t even own one – yet. With the amount of road trips we take, it makes me wonder if purchasing a vehicle, even though we live in NYC, might be on the list for 2017. You have to look at it from both angles. People in Pittsburgh are saying how the heck do you get around without owning… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Duracell as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. When I was a kid, I remember having this blue clunky robot named Casey that would play cassette tapes. I would honestly play with it for hours, letting it play tapes of my favorite songs like Baloo from the Jungle Book while I would be doing some sort of other activity like sewing quilts or… Keep Reading
Who doesn’t love a good deal? In true New Yorker form, we like to pretend we don’t have time for weeding through coupons or sample sales racks to find a good deal. We do however, like them to be presented to us, on a shiny plate, and hopefully gluten-free. That’s why we love Groupon and their local deals on restaurants, shows and hello! Spas (just not the one’s having early… Keep Reading
How do they put it nicely? One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I remember as a child going yard sale-ing on Saturday’s with my father. It was our tradition to wake up, open the newspaper and circle (yes, actually a carbon paper and pen) which ones we thought would be great to browse through before jumping in the car for our weekly adventure. It was all about the bonding… 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
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
