Love Fun & Football

Hello, Simple Clarke readers! I’m Erin and I blog over at Love, Fun & Football. I’m honored to be sharing a little pieces of her blog today, as I love her content and regularly stalk her Instagram. I figured I’d try to attempt some type of entertainment on her blog. You can also stalk my Instagram, for an look into my daily life in Cincinnati and in the sports world.

 

My blog’s a little bit about everything and that’s just how I like it, and I guess how lifestyle blogs are supposed to be, right? My interests are all over the board- so I think we’ll get along no matter what your favorite things are! Although, if you like DisneyWorld, we’re definitely off to a good start.

If you stop over at LFF anytime soon, you’ll soon see I’m a little bit crazy, but a lotta’ bit friendly—- I promise 🙂 My husband and I are total big kids at heart and I definitely thing life’s too short to not act silly or have dance parties. Most pictures you see of me are going to look more like this…

…because, let’s be honest. That is way easier to pull off than any other pose I know! Even the hand on hip, skinny-arm pose that everyone else seems to have perfected. Me? Not so much.

 

Not only do I LOVE football, but I also work in the football world too. This will be my sixth working football season and I really can’t remember life before it at this point. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but since my team is going to the Super Bowl this year, we’ll go with good.#Whodey

I got married in May 2011 to another crazy football fan. I accidentally stole his hoody in college which is how we ultimately met and started dating 😉 Ahhh, football- bringing people together year after year.

You’ll find I blog a lot about my obsession with Mexican food, and how I’m finally back on the whole ‘running and working out thing’ to make up for how much I eat it. Any chance I get to eat AND wear a sombrero? I’m not gonna’ pass that up! Why would you?? Now I just need to double up on those workouts so I can justify chips and salsa when I need to.

My husband and I started up a series on my blog last year where we are spilling it ALL about our student loan debt and our plan to get out of it. If you’re in the same boat as us, please stop by and leave us a note. There is strength in numbers! Just a head’s up, we have alter-egos when it comes to our debt-elimination, we don’t ALWAYS dress like this.

 

I would love to meet you other fabulous readers out there- so please stop by Love, Fun & Football or follow me on twitter! 🙂

  • #ad #RubbermaidAmbassador Resetting my tween’s bathroom didn’t require a full makeover… just smarter swaps 👏🏻

I found these Rubbermaid bathroom essentials at @Walmart while doing a late-night scroll (because that’s when moms get things DONE 😅), and I love how they instantly made her space more organized and functional.

The Rubbermaid Mesh Pockets Shower Liner has been a game changer for keeping everything organized and the Rubbermaid Instamat™ Tub Mat gives me peace of mind with its non-slip design + easy hang-to-dry feature.

Both are BPA-free, kid-friendly, and designed to stay fresh longer—which means less work for me 💛

Small changes can make a BIG difference.

  • Being their mom is my greatest privilege 💕 — through the chaos, laughter, exhaustion and pure joy.

Watching these two grow 💐 while growing alongside them has been the sweetest gift.

So grateful for every little thing🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. You are seen, appreciated, and doing better than you think 🌷

  • Super excited to watch Brooke step onto the stage for her first dance recital 💃🏽✨

She decided to try something completely new and joined a hip hop class this year!

Definitely outside of her comfort zone — and I couldn’t be more proud of her for sticking with it, growing in confidence, and having fun along the way.

Can’t wait to cheer on our girl today for two performances! 🎤🪩
