No pun intended, but Mom Who Runs is up and running and guess what? It’s an awesome feeling.

I have been using the name @momwhoruns as a twitter handle for the last year, so it only seemed fitting that I used the name for my website too.
The first question I am asked is: “Do you run?” and I reply “well kinda….I run coz I do small triathlons”.
I am by no means a runner. I am more like a shuffler. (I am not joking)

I’m hoping this blog will be  FUN and INFORMATIVE. (with the odd spelling mistake). I like sharing information. Period. It might be about a good book, a good store, a good nail polish color, a great birthday party idea etc.

Naturally I will be blogging about food a lot, as that seems to be a big interest these days.
So be prepared for blog posts about recipes.
Don’t tell me, that I didn’t warn you.
So today is the day that I welcome you to my website.

Hope you leave commnets, forward to friends, and by all means…subscribe (see that button on the right).

Welcome!!

I have been going to Chudleighs for so many years that I have lost track. I love it so much that I have taken many many many friends over the years so I can share my fondness for this well run family operation.

I try to pick a sunny Sunday (easier said than done) and off we go EARLY. This is the trick to a successful trip to Chudleighs.

Here is the game plan.

9:30 a.m. head to Tim Hortons (like any good family outing) and then head to the highway.

10:15 a.m arrive at Chudleighs, park, pay admission etc.

10:30 a.m. head right to the tractors that take you out to the apple orchards

11:15  a.m. head to the cashiers to pay for your apples (if you miss this step, you will wait in line forever at the end of the day)

11:30 a.m. head to the bbq for unbelievable corn on the cob

12:00 p.m to 3:00 p.m…enjoy the petting zoo, the swings, the playground, the corn maze, the cafe, pony rides etc

REPEAT those activities over and over.

I know the schedule is tight but I promise you…it works. Otherwise you will be faced with long line ups and cranky children. (not in that order).

Other farms you might want to visit: Forsythe Farms and Pingles Farm Market.

Happy Apple Picking!!

I love setting tables. Can you tell?
It all starts with the napkins.

After I select the napkins..then I select the flowers. Which means, I head to my favorite flower store at Avenue/Davenport. I’m like a kid in a candy store while selecting my flowers.

Love the combination of brown and orange too. What do you think?

Black and White Table Setting: Simple but it did the trick.

Can you tell how much fun I am having setting my tables? Hope so.
