I have volunteered at this one several years in a row (prior to having Ava) and it's a great race. My sister and I have been apart of this wonderful organization since our own mother died in 2003.

A second race is being held and will also benefit Mommy's Light~

JP and I (and Ava!) signed up for the top one and really, really want to run the Mother's Day Race. It's just kind of far from us, and is tough~ midday on Mother's Day...hmmmm! :)

Also, if you're looking to do a different 5k~ check out this awesome list compiled by local runner Jim L. He updates monthly so check back frequently.  Holy cow, that's a lot of races!!!!! Thanks, Jim!

How About A Giveaway???

Have you heard about the new movie hitting theaters February 11 in 3D?  Gnomeo and Juliet is about "Two garden gnomes, Gnomeo (voice of James McAvoy) and Juliet (voice of Emily Blunt), try to avoid tragedy and find a happy ending to their star-crossed love affair when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors."

It's a pint-sized version of a classic favorite!

Ten on Tuesday [On Weds]

 
1.  We are home again today, this time due to an ice storm! Yikes. We live in Northern Philadelphia Suburbs and have tons of back roads, country roads, etc, so schools are always very cautious when ice is involved. 
2. Assuming we do not lose power, I am excited to snuggle with the babe and catch up on some editing today!
3. On tap for my recipes (hopefully today)....nutella crepes!! MMMM!
4. Anybody have a good/healthy carrot muffin recipe? I have a TON of carrots to use up!
5. Signed up for my third 5k last night! The hubs, the toddler and I will do it together. We even signed Abes up for a Tot Trot:)
6. A friend shared this website with me...you must check out it! Adorable Laptop Lunches.
7. Another friend just debuted her new blog this week : Thyme on our Hands~ Cooking adventures while on maternity leave!
8. Remember my sushi obsession? I now have not had it since before Christmas, when I got that really bad stomach bug. I tried last night and I just could.not.eat.it.
9. Though I love the snow, I hope it starts to melt soon because I have not run since my 5k 1.5 weeks ago! I wanted to take a week off, and then decided it wasn't worth risking a fall when I don't NEED to be running (next race is not until 3/26). But I miss it and cannot wait to get back out there!
10. Next time I do 10 on Tuesday, I will be updating as a 28-year-old....ahhhhhh! [Bday is Monday!]

Wordless Wednesday * Tubby Time

That Food You're Eating, Is It Real?

The above question has plagued me for a few years now...what is "real" food and what is processed? Generally, if it came from the Earth, it's real. If it didn't, you might need to take a closer look.

I stumbled across this visual made by Summer Tomato and couldn't help but giggle and share it with you!
