^^First waterpark visit of the summer! We love ACAC around here, and this year the waterpark is included in family memberships! I went once before when Mazen was younger, but this was our first big summertime visit. We both loved it!

Seven things that were awesome:

  1. There are three pools: a huge lap pool, a kids’ pool with lots of ropes (for kids of different ages to be corralled), and a baby pool that is fenced in with a splash pad;
  2. The waterslides were fun! Big ones for big kids and grown-ups, and a frog slide for the little guys;
  3. Love the gradual entry and tons of low lounge chairs for moms to be up close, and
  4. There is lots of shade from big umbrellas and a picnic pavillion right in the middle of the pools.
  5. There’s a snack bar with reasonably priced offerings like quesadillas and fruit cups (as well as popsicles and beer!).
  6. A huge sandbox and basketball courts round out the fun options, and
  7. They have events like “Dive In” movies, and s’mores and ice cream sundaes for family nights. These events are all FREE with family memberships!

Mazen and I went after our workouts last week and had a blast with our friends. I bought a layered salad at the downtown gym to eat there, and Mazen loved having a slice of pizza and apple for lunch! We can’t wait to spend more time there.

Layers of beets, oranges, sugar snaps, walnuts, chicken, goat cheese and spinach.

For those of you who asked me if I still had friends because they hadn’t been on the blog in a while, YES, I still have friends!! :)

We went out to celebrate Gaby’s birthday last week, and met up for drinks on the town.

First, a light dinner of leftover tofu stirfry over salad with kombucha:

I love these ladies who have been my support system and BFFs since our children were newborns:

We ended the night at The Fitzroy, Charlottesville’s newest restaurant and bar. Located in the former Blue Light Grill spot, the renovations were so fun to see! They did a fantastic job, from the black and white floor to the marble counters and open-air front windows. I can’t wait to dine here too!

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
