Mama’s Picks: Football, PSLs & Fall Kickoff (Now Officially In Play!) 🏈☕🍂

September is finally here, and you know what that means in my world: football season is officially here (starting Monday, September 8), and pumpkin spice is back on the menu. 🙌 This month’s Mama’s Picks are all about game-day energy, cozy lattes, and those little fall sparks that warm the heart.

🏈 Game-Day Must-Have
Chips, dips, and finger snacks are still my top pick — especially my go-to buffalo chicken dip. If it pairs with chips, I’m all in.

☕ Drink of the Month
Pumpkin Spice Latte (hot in those crisp mornings, iced when temps are still holding). Basic? Totally. Worth every sweet, fragrant sip? Absolutely. PSL + kickoff = pure September bliss.

📺 What I’m Watching
Weeknight house shows are still comforting background noise, but come Sunday (or kickoff game day — Monday, Sept 8) when the Minnesota Vikings are playing, I’m all in. And since I'm a participant in our family fantasy football league this year… I’ll probably keep tabs on a few more games than usual.

🍁 Little Joy
Letting Ariella show up to Sunday with her adorable little Vikings gear — even if she mostly snoozes through plays, she’s already the cutest fan I know.

🎶 Song on Repeat
“Skol Vikings” — true stalker energy, but nothing gets me more hyped to watch than that chant.

So here’s to football season, PSLs, and game-day moments that blend the cozy with the fun. 🏈☕💜💛

What’s your game-day ritual — favorite snack, ritual drink, or fun tradition? Drop it below — let’s swap ideas & make Sundays even sweeter!

Until next time,
💜 Haley (Ariella’s Mama)
