High Low High 12

By

Hi, guys! A very HAPPY Monday to you!

How was your weekend? (I seriously can’t believe it’s already the 2nd week of August. WHERE has summer gone!?) Overall, our weekend was really great with lots of highs and plenty of fun stuff in the mix, but it included a few lows too, which, of course, makes for the perfect High Low High post as a way to recap. If you’re unfamiliar with this blog post series, I recap the high and low points of the weekend. It’s fun. Ok, here we go!

HIGH: Finally buying a new patio umbrella. Hooray! Ours was damaged during a wind storm this spring, so it looked ridiculous with a rip in the fabric and bent spoke, but we just never got around to replacing it until this past weekend. I swear, our patio looks a zillion times better now!

LOW: Murphy being SO TIRED that he wasn’t able to fully enjoy our Friday afternoon happy hour. His life = so hard.

HIGH: Planting flowers with Quinn!

He was soooo into it and wanted to do everything himself. “Me! Me! Meeeee!”

LOW: Waking up too sore on Saturday morning for CrossFit. Boo. I hate missing Saturday WODs. They’re always so fun.

HIGH: Going out to breakfast with my favorite guys instead!

LOW: Mal’s Western omelet. It didn’t have an appropriate “ham to onion ratio.” Haha! Poor Mal.

HIGH: Attending the Byrne Family Reunion! Our family hadn’t had one since 2008 (it was actually right after Mal and I got back from our honeymoon), so we were really looking forward to catching up with everyone.

LOW: Attempting to wrangle a cranky/strong-willed/maniac toddler for 2.5 hours and then just calling it quits. Plus, after changing an especially messy swim diaper, Mal and I decided it was time for the three of us to go home.

HIGH: Cracking up over the whole “poop soup” situation. It was so gross and so funny at the same time. All we could do was laugh!

LOW: Not having a chance to eat very much at the family reunion.

HIGH: Getting take-out from Not Your Average Joe’s on our way home!

LOW: Eating a sub-par chicken sandwich for dinner. It wasn’t terrible, but I’ve definitely had better. And, honestly, I was so hungry, I didn’t really care. Feed me.

HIGH: Turning Quinn’s car seat around!

LOW: Visiting the new playground near our house, but Quinn not being super into it. Whomp whomp.

HIGH: Having an impromptu “beach” day instead!

LOW: Not discovering this wonderful little watering hole sooner!

HIGH: Qman’s face now that he’s front-facing in his car seat. It’s a whole new world for him!

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

Evernote Review: Your Digital Organization Hub

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
