Quinn’s Pizza + Bird-Themed Birthday Party

By

Quinn’s 2nd birthday party was a huge success! Our little guy had such a great time. Many, many thanks to all of the family and friends who made it a special day for him!

We planned to have the party outside in our backyard, but it actually ended up raining, so we moved things inside.

Our Plan B actually ended up working out really well since we had so many kids at the party and they loved playing in our playroom. New toys at someone else’s house = THE BEST.

Hi, Finn! We joke that he and Quinn will start their own law firm someday: “Finn & Quinn Attorneys at Law.”

Eventually, the rain slowed down and the kiddos (and adults) were able to play outside. Water tables = also THE BEST.

Then, it was time for pizza, which is one of Quinn’s favorite foods. He also loves birds, so a pizza + bird-themed party made perfect sense.

And did you see the adorable custom banners at the start of this blog post?! Amazing, right? Kate from SunflowerPaperie (her Etsy shop is the cutest thing ever) made them, and she’s giving away two banners to two CNC followers on Instagram, so be sure to pop over for details!

Once everyone had their fill of pizza, it was time for the most amazing cake ever created. Seriously. My sister had it made at BJs, and I still can’t get over it. Everyone at the party loved it, too!

Happy 2nd birthday, sweet boy!

Quinn was so excited to blow out his candles and tried to get closer to the cake…

Only to put his hands right into the frosting. Oops! The poor kid was so distraught about it.

We cleaned him up (he doesn’t like his hands “dirty” at all) and then distracted him with another birthday candle.

All better. He was totally happy after that.

And, of course, Quinn loved eating his birthday cake (with a knife – Parents of the Year)!

Mmm!

The rest of the party was kind of a blur (we had a full house for sure!), but we managed to snap a family photo before saying goodbye. #nailedit

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
