Ghost-O-Ween

We had such a festive Halloween ’round here!! Mazen LOVED it. He’s at that perfect age for holidays now, and he had a great time from breakfast to bedtime.

I started the day with a smoothie –

And then snapped a few pictures at the preschool Halloween parade. All the kids walk through in their costumes. It’s the cutest event all year! Mazen spent the day going “Woooooooo” like a ghost!

I worked through the morning and rested my legs after Sunday soccer. Mondays are my new favorite day of the week because I take a total rest day, although I usually get in some walking to the school and back, which is good to stretch!

Lunch at home was leftovers from the night before – panko turbot (this was the best fish I’ve had all year!), sautéed spinach with melted feta, and Red, Hot, Blues.

After I picked M up from school, we relaxed for a bit before getting back into costume to head to the University of Virginia lawn. Karen made Mazen’s costume this year, and he got a lot of compliments on his spooky tassels. He refused the white face paint we had planned, but we settled on some dark eyes.

The Lawn is always crazy and chaotic, but I think it’s worth the trip to see all the funny and creative costumes. Many of the students dress up too. I saw a great Mary Poppins, and a hilarious baby in a carrier dressed as Hodor from Game of Thrones.

We met some of our friends and went through the trick-or-treating loop.

When we got home with a Darth Vadar full of candy, we went to just a few houses on our street. Mazen LOVED trick-or-treating. He kept saying “This is so fun Mommy!!” He didn’t even care about the candy as much as greeting people and going into ghost mode.

When we returned home, we greeted a handful of trick-or-treaters at our house. I think we had the most visitors ever in my adult life – a good two dozen or so. It was a super fun, and Mazen’s face lit up every time our doorbell rang!

I made some chicken with rice and cauliflower (a Cook Smarts recipe!) after bedtime and had a few mini candy bars for dessert!

Hope you all had a happy Halloween! And a very happy birthday to my dad today!!

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
