I have always had the travel bug, and since Maximo came along I have had to suppress it a little. Ok ok maybe not – I travel to Pittsburgh almost every other month and last year I made it to Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico and Martha’s Vineyard. This year so far Miami and Vermont (and our big International travel will be to Greece – but that’s another story…) Anyways,… Keep Reading
The day I moved to New York City wasn’t easy. My apartment wasn’t ready and I had to shove every little thing I owned into a tiny storage in Brooklyn before my friends dropped me off at a random sublet in Harlem I had found on Craigslist. They looked at me like I was crazy – here was this little white girl who just up and quit her job, sold… Keep Reading
Being a New York mom means always having to dress your babies “fashionably” for the playground. No, seriously. I get some raised eyebrows when Maximo hits the slides in sweat pants. But, dressing fancy everyday can be exhausting AND expensive – especially here in NYC. We may or may not have dropped $90 on a pair of boots for Maximo. No judgement. So, when Carter’s reached out to me to… Keep Reading
So I haven’t posted in about a week. I know – you’ve been in SERIOUS withdrawal, but I felt like I had nothing to write about, so why write? My best masterpieces are when I can write from the heart. Or, should we say, mouth, as in, yell voice? Anyways, I’ve been meaning to post these photos for a while now, and I figured #TBT was the perfect time –… Keep Reading
In my twenties, I am pretty sure I was invincible. I hate to admit it (earmuffs Maximo! don’t read this and think it’s OKAY for you to do it!), but I partied hard with celebrities and athletes (shhhh!), would drive too fast, didn’t wear a SEAT BELT! (do not attempt. I got yelled at MANY times), nor a helmet on a motorcycle (I can STILL hear Jamie yelling at me…. Keep Reading
Raise your hand if you have ever taken a road trip with kids under the year of one? ANYONE? haha – cam aaaaawwwwn – I know I can’t be the only one crazy to drive 7 hours to Pittsburgh with a toddler? Actually – I LIKE the drive – I think it’s a lot easier to pull over and let Maximo sprawl out on a blanket on the grass at… Keep Reading
I realize my blog is titled “Food, Football and Motherhood.” Guess which one is taking up all my time these days – or ask my Fantasy Football leagues since they’re getting lucky that I can’t devote as much time to crushing them and making the championships again this year. I also find that instead of being able to blog as much as I wish I could – I try to… Keep Reading
No one told me just how much STUFF kids need to travel – oh my. Now throw in the fact that I HATE to pack – absolutely HATE it, but love to travel and I have some new added stress in my life. Being a mom is awesome, but learning all these little sneak-up-on-you-details are getting more frequent. The Shawnee Inn – Poconos (PA) We decided to take a few… Keep Reading
