A+ Easter Weekend

By

Good morning and a very HAPPY Monday to you!

How was your Easter weekend? Ours was AWESOME. Seriously, it was one of the best weekends we’ve had in awhile. We spent time with family and friends and got lots of sleep. My Grammie told me just yesterday: “You people do too much,” so I was glad that we were able to get some much-needed rest. With that, here’s a recap of our A+ weekend! 🙂

Qman actually slept past 7:00 AM this morning too! Holy cow. He usually wakes up between 5:30 – 6:30 AM, so sleeping past 7:00 was quite a treat!

Once we were awake, it was time for PANCAKES!

But not any old pancakes: DINOSAUR PANCAKES!!

I love pancakes, but, man, they do not keep me full, so like an hour later, I made myself a “magical” green smoothie. My gosh, it was delicious!

After that, we ran some errands and then met BOTH sets of grandparents for lunch!

That night, Monica and Chandra came over for some happy hour action. Monica is running the Boston Marathon TODAY (go Monica go!) and Chandra moved to Boston just recently, so it was the perfect excuse to get together and catch up.

We ordered take-out from Not Your Average Joe’s for dinner. It was quite tasty!

Easter morning was THE BEST, and it started with an egg hunt in our backyard.

Qman was so excited for every egg that he found… and ate a jelly bean from each one.

After the Easter egg hunt was all over, he yelled: “THANK YOU, EASTER BUNNY!!!” It was adorable!

After that, we did a little family workout. We originally planned to run with Qman in the jogging stroller, but he only lasted five or six rounds. He was happy playing in my car, so we were able to finish our partner workout.

After that, I whipped up a batch of Peanut Butter Cup Brownies (brownie mix + peanut butter cups cooked in) for Easter lunch at my Grammie’s house.

At Grammie’s house, Quinn got to do another Easter egg hunt!

Just making sure he got them all!

Back at home, I got my food prep on for the week.

When I was cutting up the kale, a piece dropped on the floor, so Murphy swooped in and nabbed it.

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
