Last night I went to a blogger event with the Tampa Bay Bloggers. It was such a fun event with GiveandGrub They are a local food truck who donates a meal to a child in need for every meal sold AND every use of the hasgtage #giveandgrub on Twitter and Instagram.
With over 700,000 people in the Tampa Bay going hungry every,single.day, this is a super easy and delicious way to help and STICK IT TO HUNGER!
I felt honored to be a part of their blogger event last night and the unveiling of their newest menu item, a cheese steak sandwich with sweet potato fries that were out of this world! Anything drizzled with melted butterscotch and marshmallow has my vote for best thing ever!
If you frequent the Tampa Bay Lightning games, you've probably seen their green and blue truck parked in the plaza. Next time you spot them, purchase one of their amazing gourmet meals and support the cause! Their food is made with quality ingredients and ensure happy taste buds and belly!
Not your average food truck foods right there! :)
Tuesday Thoughts
Since it's Spring Break I feel like the first thing on my mind everyday I wake up, or last thing on my mind before I go to bed is "What are we going to do tomorrow?" as if just because it's Spring Break we HAVE to do something. Can't we just chill? We have a busy weekend ahead so this week will consist of random outings and of course FUN! Like today, Sophia & Nelps get to tag along to the office and watch mommy get a few things done, See, FUN!
Yesterday we re-joined the YMCA. We had a membership there when I was pregnant with Nelps since it was too hot for me to run outside during the summer. I'm excited to switch up my fitness routine and go to some classes like Spin and BodyPump! I'm also excited to take the girls to the splash pool this summer! They're going to love it!
I am running in the FirstWatch Sarasota Half Marathon on Sunday and my training has been less than stellar these past two weeks. I'm going to go ahead,be lame, and throw out an excuse...it's because of the moving and falling out of routine! I'm nervous for the run, and kind of bummed because I was planning on kicking some butt, but now I'm planning on just running at my regular pace (9:00-9:30 min/mile) just to finish without passing out. :)
I have a weird throat thing going on. I lost my voice and my throat is scratchy/itchy. No fun. and another reason I'm nervous for the half marathon on Sunday.
I ordered a dress from RentTheRunway! We have a fancy wedding next weekend, so I ordered a beautiful dress to be fancy! I can't wait to take pictures in it and show you! Hopefully it fits perfect! :) Have you ever rented a dress?
I need to start working on my posture. I looked at a picture this morning of myself and my back was hunched over and BLAH! It made me cringe.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday! It should be a good one! :)
XOXO
Happy Happy Tuesday!! Is it all that happy, you ask...YES! :)
Some Tuesday Thoughts for the end of 2014:
1. I haven't really cooked something NEW in a while. I've been cooking things I know and are "staples" in our house for dinner. I blame in on the holidays and just not having time to look for recipes or experiment in the kitchen. I mean who does this time of year?! I promise to resume my cooking and posting recipes in 2015.
2. I've been working for almost 3 hours now and because of connection problems, have done nothing. Or it feels like it anyways. Technology will be the death of us.
3. Speaking of work, I just keep putting off it off and it just keeps building up and I know it's never going to go away, it's only going to keep piling up.
4. I would like to just read books on my kindle all day long! It's so easy and I have all the books I want at my fingertips! I LOVE THE KINDLE! (Shouting it from the rooftops!)
5. I'm getting real bored and annoyed of Facebook. Like really, so many annoying posts lately like I don't even want to go on it because there's nothing on there lately that makes me want to. Maybe I'll give it up for 2015, except for business purposes of course.
6. I don't have something to wear for New Years Eve (we finally made plans to have a fancy dinner then come home and spend the New Year celebration with our guurls) and I have two little girls that makes going to the mall an absolutely job so I might just go to dinner in a repeat dress. That makes me sad just writing that. I feel like you need to wear something new and sparkly on New Years Eve because that's just what you need to do. So, today I'll be venturing to the mall sometime to run in and grab a dress in hopes that it fits.
7. Trying on clothes at the mall with two kids is impossible and not something I call FUN.
8. It's 11 a.m. and I want a coffee.
9. Sophia asked to go to school this morning and it made me happy and sad at the same time. I know sometimes I can be extra boring to her when I'm trying to get work done.
10. We were practicing letters yesterday in the bath and Sophia knew a lot of letters and it made me really proud! I squealed in delight which made her also squeal with a big smile on her face. ;) I love learning.
XOXO
Whoa! I'm kinda exhausted and it's only Tuesday guys! Today's been a whirlwind of stuff and I'm finally sitting down (for a minute) to write down some....
Tuesday Thoughts
1. I need to stick to my To-Do lists. They really make life so much more manageable.
2. Don't attempt to sing & dance with a jar of mayonnaise in your hand. I did, and the jar dropped and busted open all over my kitchen floor. That will really put a damper on your happy sandwich makin' mood.
3. I really hate when I get done with an errand and have an hour or so until I have to pick up Sophia from school. I just don't know what to do with my life & that hour. Should I go all the way home and get 30 minutes of work done, go to the store and spend money, or just drive around hoping that Nelpe will take a nap?
4. I feel like I've done a lot of Christmas shopping, but haven't really bought for anyone but my girls....and that's a problem. Especially since I told myself time and time again that I was going real small this Christmas since we're trying to sell the house. We don't need anymore stuff in the already cluttered house but I can't stop clicking on that Purchase button. It's an addiction.
5. I had to get breakfast for a meeting this morning and I got some donuts and coffee from Dunkin Donuts. I tried a cup of the coffee and I'm pretty sure that DD is just making black colored water and selling it. (Its kind of like when you start drinking Craft beers and then have a Michelob Ultra and it tastes like water.) BUT I did eat a Blueberry donut and all my nasty coffee thoughts went away...
6. Speaking of Dunkin Donuts, they have some cute holiday donuts to bring to teachers or coworkers. ;)
I hope you all had a wonderfully productive Tuesday!
XOXO
