Mother’s Day, With Love

By

Hope you guys had wonderful weekends! Mine was great : ) My mom is back from a trip to Italy, so I was able to wish her a happy MD in the same country, and my sister celebrated her first MD with Miss Emmie!

–> Top right was Larbs’s most awkward year, and I think bottom right definitely wins for mine!! LOL!

Our house started off the day with pancakes!! Sprinkles for a bit more excitement.

Thomas owns this big double-burner griddle, and I used it for the first time. It sure made pancake cooking so much easier! One batch and done.

My women’s soccer league invited me to join them for their spring tournament, and we had two games scheduled for Sunday. I couldn’t wait to play with just women again! It’s still very competitive, but the intensity is down a notch from co-ed with the guys.

Game #1 vibes:

I had an hour break in between games, so I went home just so I could sit down and have a snack. Peanut butter pretzels and a banana! #carbs

After game #2, I was exhausted! I drank a bottle of Gatorade and a whole Hydroflask of water but still felt dehydrated and headachey. Game two was hotter and tougher!

Snack on the ride home:

I took a much-needed shower and then Thomas and I got the house ready for his mom to visit for dinner. Mazen helped set the table. He is such a good helper boy!

Eileen brought these beautiful flowers from her garden <3

Thomas surprised us with the dinner menu, and put out my favorite appetizer – Saint Angel triple creme brie, fig spread and crostini. Plus olives and chips and red wine for the moms!

He grilled lamb and made risotto and asparagus. Delicious meal!

Mr. Mazen couldn’t wait for dessert because he and Matt made me this beautiful cake!

They are quite the cooking duo, and I couldn’t think of a more delicious Mother’s Day gift : )

Thomas and I finished Westworld last night. I’m not sure I really liked the ending all that much :/  Is there a season 2 in the making?

These next two weeks are going to be quite crazy for me – I am traveling to four different overnight locations! Three for work and one for pleasure, although all of them will be fun! I’m going to try to keep live blogging during my travels, but that might mean I skip a day or a post goes up at midnight eastern time. Guess you’ll be in for some surprises!

xoxo

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
