The Celebration Continues

By

Hi, guys!

Quinn’s birthday celebration continued well into the weekend! 🙂

Saturday

Saturday morning was our usual CrossFit + Coffee Shack routine —> fun partner workout followed by donuts and iced coffee, which, of course, is the best way to start the day! 🙂

After that, we ran some errands, ate lunch, and then Quinn went down for his nap, which included baking Funfetti cupcakes and assembling goodie bags for his party the next day.

After Quinn’s nap, we took an epic family walk with Murphy around the neighborhood. We ended up bumping into a few neighbors, so we did quite a lot of chatting in addition to walking.

When we return home, we ate dinner on the porch and then hung out there for the rest of the night. In the photo below, Mal and Quinn are telling each other “YOU are funny” over and over again. Haha!

After we put Quinn to bed, Mal and I hung out on the porch well into the evening – chatting, laughing, and enjoying the fire pit and amazing weather. Summer is just about here!

The pug is allowed on the outdoor couch, and he thought it was glorious.

Sunday

Sunday morning started with a trip to Lucky Finn Cafe, which is becoming one of our favorite family traditions. It’s such an adorable spot and the view can’t be beat! I only wish it was a little closer to where we live, but it’s definitely worth the drive!

Please note the “tiny tape measure” in Quinn’s hand. It’s still one of his favorite “toys.”

Breakfast was so delicious! Mal and I got iced coffees and breakfast sandwiches, his on a bagel, mine on sourdough, and Qman had a croissant and milk from home. Mmm!

After that, it was time for Quinn’s party at My Gym, a nearby fitness center for kids. Quinn and I used to take classes there when he was younger, but we hadn’t visited since a friend’s recent birthday party. It was such a great idea for a younger kid’s birthday celebration, so we totally stole the idea! It gives the kids something to do, and My Gym takes care of almost all of the planning (i.e. food, decorating), which definitely made our life easier!

There were 22 kids (+ parents) ranging from 8 months to 5 years old, so it was quite the PARTY! Quinn seriously had THE BEST time ever! I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so happy!

I wasn’t sure how’d he’d feel about the extra attention (he’s kind of shy), but he rolled with it and actually seemed to like it! 🙂

What a weekend. Celebrating our sweet boy was absolutely wonderful – so many warm fuzzies! <3

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
