In partnership with Workman Publishing. While attending a group dinner last night full of NYC editors, we all went around the family-style dinner table and shared what meal we remembered from our childhood that really defined us growing up. It was very interesting to hear such variety – from moms who only cooked take-out, to those who suffered through their moms’ horribly plain 80s-dieting phase to those parents (yes, dads, too!) who really… Keep Reading
The other day we were back home in the middle of farming fields at the church for my father’s funeral, and my son saw me start to tear up while standing up front to greet people. He immediately came up to me with a box of tissues and said, “Don’t cry, Mommy.” I thought it was the sweetest thing – until I saw him walk around and offer every single person… Keep Reading
Over here in Astoria, we’ve been huge Lyft fans for a long long time. Basically since they day Lyft arrived on the scene. We happen to live not-so-close to the subway (ok about a 15 min walk which I actually like AND we happen to have a building shuttle that takes us there). But! Sometimes – we miss it, it’s raining, we’re late for school or need to get to… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored #ad post by Meredith on behalf of Jif, New Balance, Munchkin, SwaddleMe and Visit Williamsburg – but seriously aren’t all these things awesome? All opinions are my own. How many times do you attempt a girls night out as a mom at the age of 36? I text my fellow mom friends at least once a week saying let’s have coffee, drinks or dinner, but each… Keep Reading
As a type-A personality, I love to plan and prepare and organize. Figuring out life is like a challenging and fun Tetris game that amuses me, but there are still some things in life you just can’t plan for – like losing a parent unexpectedly. I’ve had a flood of emotions and memories from my childhood, some good, some bad, but all bittersweet. You can’t help to feel the guilt… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post by prAna – but all opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting Football Food and Motherhood! You have to love that athleasure wear is the cool trend these days. What is better for a mom on-the-go than being able to look cute and feel comfortable? With all the walking, commuting around the city and constant moving (bend and snap, anyone?), I need clothes that can… Keep Reading
It’s official. I am old. I can’t believe Max literally just started kindergarten this week – where did the little baby who used to terrorize my carpets with Play Doh and strawberries go? I know you are always dying for a sneak peep into the super cool lives of Stephanie and Maximo here in NYC – so I’m here to make your Monday am a little more entertaining. So to… Keep Reading

It’s finally after Labor Day – meaning bikini season is dying down and we can get back to the things we love – carbs. We don’t have to keep ordering the basic kale salad for lunch -we can eat again! Football season and fall is all about comfort – the holidays are coming, big sweaters and big meals. However, now that you’ve been used to all that healthy food all… Keep Reading
Kraft Heinz sponsored this post, but the opinions are my own. Ahhhh do you feel that? It’s August and football is in there air – FINALLY. Pre-season games, fantasy football drafts and lots of time scoping the player lists on social media. Is that new rookie for the Black and Gold ready to perform like a Yinzer? While most moms are in back-to-school mode (ok, we are a little too),… Keep Reading
