This post was sponsored by Blue Diamond® as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Summer is known for rooftop spritzers, sandy days at the beach and park bbqs. So where does a plant-based diet fit into all of these? A lot of advice says to bring your own food to parties so you have something to eat. While that works for… Keep Reading
Ever walk into your home and be welcomed by a weird (gross) smell? We’ve all been there. Whether it was that new recipe you tried last night, the wafting aromas of the Hudson River, or.. is that? Yep. The bag of little league gear. Maybe it’s all of the above. Motherhood is always fun of full surprises. No one told me about stank. But alas, I am confronted with it… Keep Reading
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
In 2019, everyone is feeling the need to “do it all.” And you know what I mean. We’re talking insane levels of reality like bounce back from having a baby to present to the world within hours, look like you’re about to walk the red carpet at school drop off, bake Food Network worthy birthday cakes. So when do you have time to get to your perfectly curated yoga class… Keep Reading
Love to eat donuts by the pool? This summer you’re saying F the bikini and embracing the mom bod? Then I am about to make your summer dreams come true. Remember how you love to love to dunk your donut in cheese sauce? Or how you sprinkle it with broken candy canes left over from Christmas – in July?! Well, now you can stop wondering if the world will love… Keep Reading
Back in the 90s we loved getting weird. We had ouija boards, colored jeans and Doc Martens. We also had a weirdly dark and grungy love affair, and death was strangely “popular” in song lyrics and movies (Nirvana or Nine Inch Nails, anyone?) Regardless, we loved it and still laugh about our trend choices today. But – is it making a comeback? Nirvana tees have never gone out of style… Keep Reading
Math – it’s a complicated subject (in more ways than one). You either love it or hate it, but there’s no avoiding it. For some reason, Max actually LOVES math. He literally stood up for a talent show last weekend and did a math problem (who brought that kid!?). So what does a mom do with a kid who LOVES math – you get him enrolled in a math class… Keep Reading
I love May. I get the full month to ME. Mother’s Day, Memorial Day weekend, my birthday… it’s just one long month of celebrations, gifts and fun. But let’s talk about Mother’s Day. Frankly, I just want to relax this year. I don’t want an overpriced salad where I have to wait in line and then be rushed out. I don’t want overpriced flowers that will die in two days. … Keep Reading
Ok ladies, I know you’ve all seen it. If you haven’t – shocker – the beautiful Julia Roberts plays a hooker who has a billionaire fall in love with her. You know, typical everyday life. A classic fairytale love story, but I mean, who doesn’t need another Cinderella story for faith on love and true romance? Especially in 2019. Enter Pretty Woman: The Musical. The love story of 2019 –… Keep Reading
Abrams Books sent me the book to check out and is partnering with me for a giveaway! All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. We’ve become big fans of this series since I met the author, Andrea Beaty, at a conference in Brooklyn last year. While they have major leading ladies in these books and you might think they’re not good for boys too… Keep Reading
