Because unless you want to plan an “Anti Super Bowl Party” where you can escape for a few hours, let guys do their thing and paint town red… reality is most of us girls will end up at a Super Bowl Party (and you may even be hostess of one).

And that means hanging out with excitable boys who can’t be interrupted or ripped from TV, eating almost as much food as we do on Thanksgiving Day and grinning and bearing football nonsense to get through it all. Thank goodness we’ve got Bono this year as our halftime hunny!

Why fight it? Might as well brighten up day with a little feminine energy and make it a day for everyone, not just boys.

So, here are top 10 ways to enjoy a Simply Superb Super Bowl Sunday.

1. Pre-game Role Reversal. Encourage guys to perform a pre-game cheer and let girls huddle up to devise a play and act it out. Make it an annual Super Bowl ritual and elaborate on it every year.

2. Battle of Sexes. Start a football pool for girls. Have each woman take exactly opposite position of one of guys. And at end of day see who really knows more about football.

3. MVP Awards. Keep a look out for MVP party goers. Keep secret voting ballots for girls to pick: Worst Joke Worst Behavior Best Behaved Heisman Trophy Snack Winner Fewest Party Fouls Worst Party Fumble

4. Open Up NFL Shop. Get girls together before hand and add a little football fun to your wardrobe. Make ‘NFL Champion’ baby doll tees with nick names or code names. Buy flashy Super Bowl rings as party favors.

5. Beer Blitz. Have kids on clean up patrol all day long. Give them trash bags and let them know that every empty can they collect is money in their pocket. You’ll take them down to ‘Recycle Center’ and turn cans into cold hard cash. You might even match money and then take them to a special spot so they can spend it!

It's an understatement to say that having kids changes everything, especially our financial situation. I know as a single parent it's hard to see forest for trees while trying to juggle work, bills and kids. It can be difficult enough to imagine how to pay for plumber and soccer classes much less saving enough for a down payment on a house. But it is possible.

When Shirronda and I first decided to purchase a home together, one of things we did aside from making a wishlist for type of house that we wanted was to decide what to do with house. We knew eventually we would move into our own single-family homes but we were in agreement that we would always keep two-family for girls. They can share one of apartments and rent out other or they can live in their own unit. Whatever they decide to do, at least they will have options.
