Requiring A Deep Steep

By

We had such an all-American afternoon over here. Complete with kids coming in and out of the house, dyeing Easter eggs, a cookout with our neighbors, and a bath that required scrubbing off the dirt.

We are so lucky to have wonderful neighbors who have three kids about Mazen’s age, and they play together all.the.time. You know how people say that “our door is always open”? That’s how our doors are – kids come in, kids run out. It’s so nice!

I captured them surrounding our sweet mail lady, Miss Stephanie, who was probably thinking that she just wanted to do her job instead of answering 1,000 questions about mail from three little males. They are so sweet and cute though.

Meanwhile, I did mom things like unloaded the dishwasher. Here’s my method: first I tackle all the silverware. Then I take the big stuff out of the bottom (mostly plates and big bowls) and put it on the counter. Then I open the top rack (mostly glasses, mugs, small bowls, and tupperware) and put that all directly into cabinets. Then I load the dirties in. Then I close the dishwasher and put the big, clean stuff away. I do that in order of dislike to like, and preventive water drip!

Right after school I had an egg dyeing activity all set up for Mazen. He had been asking me if we could do some at home, so I surprised him. We like to keep things simple over here, so I wasn’t going to boil 10 beets to get 10 drops of natural beet juice dye. Found this kit for $1.50. (Gosh I want to use emojis SO MUCH – crying/laughing guy right here. Get with it, WordPress!)

You get what you pay for in life, and the “magic white crayon” designs didn’t do anything. But we still had a good time, and I’m pretty sure Mazen has these eggs on his night stand right now…

We joined our neighbors outside for a cookout for dinner. They grilled up veggies and sweet potatoes, veggie burgers and dogs, and bison burgers. I brought over a big salad.

The kids played. Hard. I managed to snap this picture before bath – can you see the dirt tears on his face when I said it was time to go home?!

But that’s nothing this stuff can’t take care of. My FAVORITE SMELL EVER! Passionfruit and Guava.

My day started early and it is far from over – I have one more social activity to attend! Check Instagram if you’re curious!!

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
