Summer Break Begins

By

Mazen and I are off to a great start for our summer break! With all the traveling I just did, I was thrilled to wake up and have no where to be. Of course I do still have plenty of work to do, but I am managing that as efficiently as I can in pockets of time! These past few weeks have been intense, and I spent a lot of emotional energy on two rotten things that happened to me work-wise. So I was craving a few days to spend with Mazen and remind myself all I have to be thankful for.

The first day of summer, Mazen slept until 8:30!! (He was still a little on NOLA time…) He gave me the world’s biggest smile when I climbed into his bed for snuggling!

He got up, put on his bathing suit, and went to the fridge for a seltzer water. Sounds like summer!

He has really become a swimmer these past few weeks. Look at those muscles!

Mazen and our neighbor also both mastered the two wheeler last month. They were finally ready to leave the driveway, and I took them on a ride on the greenway while I jogged next to them. All went well!

Another morning they pulled Mazen’s teepee outside and made a fort.

I had to intercept when M took his bedroom pillows out in the dirt and gave him some outdoor ones in exchange.

We went to Kohr Bros for ice cream!

And we’ve been singing the Moana song “It’s so shiiiiiny”

One afternoon we met some friends at the Northside Library for Lego Mania.

And did a little summer spelling. Gotta stay sharp!

Poor Gussie was lured into the teepee with a treat and then Mazen got mad when he wouldn’t stay inside.

“Mommy, swaddle me like a baby!”

Happy Summer!

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
