I’ve hidden an “Easter Egg” somewhere on my blog as part of an Easter Scavenger hunt along with 9 other bloggers and The Motherhood! It’s just like having an egg hunt, only online and with way better prizes than plastic smelling jelly beans!
The Motherhood and Rice Krispies are giving away some cool prizes to winners:
You have to find it and complete all of the following to be eligible to win prizes:
Find all ten “eggs,” and then post “Found It” in the comment section of each blog when you find the blogger’s “egg”(don’t give the hiding spot away, though!);
Tweet a link to your recipe using the hashtag #ricekrispies
Finally, e-mail contact@themotherhood.com with all ten links to where the “eggs” are hidden, a link to your Rice KrispiesTreats® recipe you posted on The Motherhood, and a link to your tweet.
You have until 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, April 2, to complete the scavenger hunt and e-mail the links. Then winners will be selected at random using www.random.org. View official contest rules here.
And without further ado, here is a clue that will lead you to my hidden egg:
I’ve been fortunate to be a part of the Your Shape Challenge. Along with 9 other women I am using the game to get fit over the next 3 months. You can follow along at the Your Shape Challenge blog, or on twitter with the hashtag #yourshape.
I enjoy the workouts since they are so varied. I can choose to focus on different areas of my body, and every day I get a different workout. I get bored easily so this is a great way for me to stay entertained while I exercise.
Now you have the chance to win a copy of Your Shape to give it a try for yourself! One lucky winner will be chosen! If you don’t win this week, please keep checking my fellow participants’ blogs, there will be more opportunities to win!
Here’s a video of Jenny explaining how the Your Shape game works:

The thyroid is a small gland located in the middle of the lower neck, which produces hormones that regulate many functions including temperature, weight gain, and weight loss. Many Americans experience various problems with the functioning of their thyroid. Some red flags to watch for are:
sudden weight gain or increase in body fat
inability to lose weight despite proper diet and exercise
fatigue, insomnia or restless sleep, anxiety or panic attacks
gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation
chronic sinusitis or lingering infections
It is important that people experiencing these warning signs see their physician to learn more.
There are also many online resources for those seeking more information and support. One online resource is the Fibro 360 Community – Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Center.
