We had Mazen’s birthday party this Saturday afternoon. Friday night Grammie and Pea came to town, and we went to Random Row Brewing (where Matt will be working) for the soft opening for friends and family.

The space is beautiful with lots of modern touches and warm wood. (Kombucha for kids!)

The beers were good too! I liked the dunkel the best. Check out the wooden taster holders!

On Saturday morning I went for a 3 mile run/walk, and then after breakfast Dad and I went to the Monticello Heritage Harvest Festival!

We had fun exploring and tasting around, and had a nice lunch in the press tent.

We did a simple friends party for Mazen this year with a light soccer theme. My mom organized a treasure hunt that was a huge hit! The kids loved combing the yard for trinkets.

After the hunt it was cake time! As usual we ordered a cookie dough cake from Sweet Haus : )

The rest of the party was spent sweating in the late-summer heat!

KK and Mazen are working on his Halloween costume together – a ghost! Mazen is so glad she’s here for a week!

For dinner that night we were all too tired to go out, so we ordered Zoe’s Kitchen. A big family-style meal is only $40 (for 4-6 people) and comes with kebobs, a big salad, two sides, hummus, and pita bread.

We thought this meal was so good! And it tasted as fresh as if we had prepared it ourselves.

Mazen has had a great time having his grandparents here to celebrate!!

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
