The 34 Best Fall Football Party Essentials

The 34 Best Fall Football Party Essentials

It’s Fall y’all. One of the best things about Fall, for me, is football. I remember growing up and watching football every Sunday with my dad and brothers. I guess I was indoctrinated into the sport at an early age and grew to love it. And I especially like football when it’s outside. I have memories of sitting outside when it’s freezing with blankets and hot chocolate. I have twin brothers and a son who played football starting in Little League and went all the way up through college. I was also a cheerleader and the best times were cheering for football games on Friday nights. Needless to say, I have a lot of experience in tailgating and throwing Superbowl parties or just on any given Sunday throwing a football party.

The 21 Best Home Bars For All The Drinks – Part 1

The 21 Best Home Bars For All The Drinks – Part 1

I’ve always thought that everyone should have a bar in their home. Whether that’s a bar cart, a bar nook, a full on bar with stools, or just a bar set up on or in any piece of furniture. As a child we had a full-on bar in our living room in Connecticut. There was barn wood on the face of the bar and we would go behind it and pretend we were serving people. We did our homework there and we had snacks there. In my teenage years, my parents had a wet bar nook in the living room. So, seeing this in my childhood, I just always thought that’s what adults were supposed to have. I also had parents that taught me that alcohol should be used in moderation, which is a great lesson.
