Bald Head Day 2: Beach Day

By

[Catch Day 1 here]

We lucked out with some gorgeous weather on our trip. Not a drop of rain after our drive down! The forecast said Saturday would be our warmest day, so we decided to spend the day on the beach.

We started off with a lovely breakfast of eggs, fruit, bacon, OJ, toast, and coffee at the inn.

Mazen, mom and I went on a nature walk by Old Baldy and down to the marsh.

We were on the lookout for snakes and gators, but we didn’t see any on this hike.

I packed up a picnic for the beach to keep us fueled for the day, and we headed towards the Shoals Club.

Our picnic had a bunch of portable snacks and finger foods that would be easy to eat without a table and chairs, and I brought everything in a cooler to….keep it cool!

For our picnic, we had fruit, pepperoni, Mini Babybel®, crackers, carrots, and vanilla almond balls to nibble on.

Mazen loves to have fun unwrapping the Mini Babybels, and I love that they’re delicious, portable, and a good source of protein and calcium. Plus, everyone in the family is gaga for cheese!

Grammie and Pea pretended never to have seen a Mini Babybel before and asked Mazen for instructions on how to unwrap and eat them. He loves being in charge, so it was funny to watch him instruct. Check out his stern teacher face: “No Grammie, I will show you. First, you take off the wrapper, then you pull this white tab and the cheese is inside!”

We had a great time on the beach, and Mazen chased birds, smashed sand cliffs and managed to get sand on every inch of his body : )

I just started Big Little Lies! So far it’s really good, and I can’t wait to watch the HBO show after I finish it. I spent a few hours just sitting on this driftwood reading…. (haha j/k!)

Later in the afternoon, we had a few snacks up at the club for a late lunch – nachos and crudités with dips.

We went back to the inn to shower and get changed, and then golf carted ourselves back to the Shoals Club for a sunset cocktail hour and dinner.

Since basketball was on and we’d had such a late lunch, we ended up having apps at the bar for dinner. I had a Caesar salad and fried oysters. (Go Zags!)

Stay tuned for a recap of our final day tomorrow!

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
