How to Be an Incredibly Popular Soccer Team Mom (and a Giveaway!)

It's a warm spring day. Twenty high school girls have taken to the soccer field in a head-to-head (er, foot-to-foot) challenge to determine which school has the better team.

What gives our girls in green the winning edge?

Why, the promise of Einstein Bros. bagels and muffins, of course! The bagel makers provided us with snacks for our team and when I delivered them, the girls literally squealed with excitement.

I consider myself to be a bagel and muffin connoisseur and we certainly have plenty of options to choose from here in Nashville. I knew Einstein Bros. bagels and muffins would be good. I was not prepared for them to be AWESOME.

And judging from how quickly they disappeared after the game, I think the team agreed with me.

Of course, I couldn't leave the littles out. I kept them quiet with the promise of first choice from the box after the game was over. They chose a chocolate muffin to split. Are you surprised?

Yum.

Einstein Bros. doesn't just have bagels and muffins. They also have delicious sandwiches (my husband and I had one when we picked up our team's order), cookies, and these amazing, sweet cream cheese-stuffed bagel poppers that my kids ate faster than you can say "lox." Yeah. They have lox, too. Mmmmmm....

If you live here in Nashville, you may be surprised to know that there's an Einstein Bros. cafe in the new Vanderbilt clinic at 100 Oaks Mall. Just go in through the main entrance and you'll see it at the top of the escalator. It is DEFINITELY worth a visit if you're in the area. And the staff couldn't be nicer.

If you live elsewhere, use this handy dandy store locator to find the Einstein Bros. nearest you.

And now... the moment you've all been waiting for... A chance to win a $1,000 gift card, which you can spend on anything you like!!!!! Or a $25 Einstein Bros. gift card, which isn't bad, either eh?
