Illustrated Memories

A few weeks ago I received a message from illustrator Bruna Mebs, who is a KERF follower. Her work ranges from food, animals, fashion, costume, beauty, and botanical illustrations, to portraits.

Bruna offered to do a portrait of Mazen in exchange for a shoutout on the blog. I could not be more appreciative of the beautiful job she did in capturing my little boy’s spirit!

This was the photo she used as a model:

I put the portrait in a Pottery Barn frame I had on hand, and it’s now on display in the living room <3 Bruna is offering KERF readers 30% off a baby portrait if you order from her website with the code KERF. Portraits cost $100, so 30% is quite a generous saving.

Yesterday was back at ’em after such a long break. Back to school. Back to the gym. Back to work.

And the cold weather is back too. (Or at least it was yesterday! We are still seeing lots of ups and downs here.) So oatmeal was on the breakfast menu! With almond butter and banana.

I hit up a strength class mid-morning for a nice little workout. With all of my soccer on Sundays, I have been taking Mondays off from the gym, which reduced my strength class time to once per week. I have definitely gotten weaker because of this, and I hurt something under my collarbone a few weeks ago. I’ve been modifying all overhead exercises, and it’s been a little frustrating. I do a lot just on my right side, so I’m probably going to be crooked soon! It’s slowly getting better, but it’s also a bit unpredictable.

Lunch back at home was a quesadilla, leftover asparagus, and grapes. Love grapes at this time of year!

Mazen and I played “movie theater” in the afternoon and snuggled on the couch to watch The Lion King (again!).

You should have seen his face when I pulled out two mini bags of M&Ms for us to share. It’s his favorite theater snack. Mine too!

For dinner we had Cook Smarts Maple Dijon Panko fish with peas and sweet potatoes. A great combination!!

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
