From Mozzarella Ball To Soccer Ball To Brewer’s Ball

By

^^ Yesterday’s lunch was a salad from the garden with cucumbers, mozzarella balls (love them!), fresh herbs and Dr. Ho’s Ranch. This dressing rocks!

Oh and some chips while I assembled it all!

Look what came in the mail yesterday! Thomas’s mom had our picture made into a canvas. We sent this selfie to her and thanked her for the sweet gift. Then he was off to volleyball, and I headed to a soccer game.

After soccer (a great game!), I raced home to meet Matt, Mazen, our babysitter, and Thomas at the house and to get showered up as fast as possible. Mazen said in the car the other week: “Mommy when can I have another babysitter?” (It has been a while.) So we surprised him with one last night. He was so excited!! Haha.

We were all headed to the 2nd Annual Brewer’s Ball, a big fundraising event for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Tickets were $75 and included samples of beer from a bunch of area breweries and small plates for many of our finest restaurants. Plus music by Chamomile and Whiskey, a silent auction, a live auction, remarks and great company.

Between the two of us Thomas and I probably knew 50 people there. Many of our friends attended, and three of our friends were honorees on campaigns to raise as much money as possible.

I arrived thirsty and hungry from soccer, and downed some beer samples and food so fast I don’t think I really enjoyed it as much as I should! There were so many things I didn’t get to try because I filled up too fast, but the food was outstanding.

Shrimp salad and rice noodles from Hamilton’s –

And these donut stacks with fried chicken and sausage gravy from Miso Sweet were one of the most talked about dishes. Plus extra donuts for dessert!

Despite the soggy rivers of rain that poured in halfway through, we had a wonderful time : )

Patrick always likes to say hello to you guys!

I didn’t sleep very well last night because I was aching from soccer, dehydrated, full and hungry all at the same time. Struggling a little bit this morning despite getting in bed by 11pm! Mazen and I made berry and spinach smoothies with peanut butter for breakfast. He is hoping for a movie day at camp since it’s still raining.

Happy weekend!!

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
