I’ve been asked what we used to do when we got sick on the farm since we didn’t have doctors readily available. Well, we just – got sick. We toughed it out. We never went to a doctor unless you lost a limb – literally. We did (and still do) use glue to close up “wounds” that aren’t life-threatening. That’s just the redneck way. So to say we’ve come a… Keep Reading

With locations throughout NYC, NJ, Westchester/CT and Long Island, there’s a good chance Super Soccer Stars has a soccer class close by in your neighborhood… Keep Reading
Alas, it’s that time of year again – whether you love or hate holiday shopping. I kept it simple and easy this year so you can just be one and done and head off to do what really matters – drink and avoid your relatives. Family Matching Pajamas You know you’re going to participate – willingly or not, so why not have some fun with it this year? Instead of… Keep Reading
Gift-giving is hard AF, right? Unless you are some special Pinterest loving enthusiast with the crafting skills level Martha Stewart, it’s hard to know what to ever give those who are most dear to you. Which is sort of messed up, right? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. But, since we can’t just gift private islands in the Caribbean, let’s start small – it’s the thought that counts. Especially when… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year where SAD kicks in as the darkness and cold sets in before 5pm. So there is no better reason to get out of the house and check out a funny, cute comedy with the family. Pig out on popcorn and curl up for the best movie this season – Playing with Fire. Okay, so we got to meet John Cena, yes BUT we saw the… Keep Reading
This post is made possible by a partnership with HMH Books for Young Readers. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood! It’s no secret that I am book lover (and maybe quite possibly buy too many books for our NYC apartment), but there is just something still so gratifying about curling up with a good read.

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
*This is a sponsored post on behalf of Valley Fine Foods. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. I remember back on the farm (you know, the days before the Internet and Instagram) when we always had time for breakfast. In fact, it was the most important meal of the day because sometimes you just didn’t come back. Not like stepping into the upside-down not come back, but… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post on behalf of FITCRUNCH with MomsMeet. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com Confession: I’ve crushed on Chef Irvine for many years. I even met him at the Rachel Ray Burger Bash in NYC back in 2015. He’s a chef, he is no BS and did I mention he also has a foundation to support our unsung heroes? Seriously, the best. But then… Keep Reading
*This is a sponsored post on behalf of PackIt. My opinions are my own – of course! Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. School lunches are something that haunts parents just like August is one big Sunday night for teachers. What do we pack? What is healthy yet my kids will actually eat? And how do you keep things actually safe/edible when you “PackIt” at 6am for a 12pm lunch?! Something so… Keep Reading
