Weekend Things

By

We just wrapped up a smashing great weekend!! Lots of great weather, friends, family, and fun.

On Friday night we went to a friend’s house for a birthday cookout where there were burgers, yard games, and good conversation.

On Saturday morning we had eggs, toast, and cherries.

Thomas started on the all-day project of replacing our side door. It was the original to the house, not insulated, not tempered glass, and opened into a wall, so a new one (especially when he could DIY it) was a big improvement. We also have a snazzy new deadbolt and handle.

He literally ripped out the threshold (and I was very nervous watching that we wouldn’t have a door by bedtime) but he assured me he had done this plenty of times. The old house’s cinderblock wall made the job take a lot longer than anticipated, but he finally got it right, and the new door is awesome! Still needs trim and paint, but she’s secure!

Meanwhile, I made us sandwiches for lunch and had some kombucha our neighbor brought over.

Mazen went to a party with the neighbors for lunch and came home looking like a vampire!

That afternoon we went to Random Row for a party hosted by Vie, my friend Lynsie’s company. She creates meal plans based on the sales at major grocery stores to help folks save money on their grocery bill while focusing on cooking real food in their kitchens with gourmet recipes. And her recipes are amazing!

Sarah helped Lynsie plan the party, and they had a wonderful spread of make-your-own grain bowls and sliders for the grown-ups, and a great kids table too!

I loved how healthy and delicious the buffet was!

For the kids they had turkey pinwheels, fruit salad, roasted banana smoothies and sunbutter sammies.

I had a lager on a hot sunny day : )

Remarks from the team on their passion project:

Playing pet snake is not my favorite activity. This guy is so real I can barely get near him! Mazen has him on a “leash” made of dental floss that is so invisible it looks like the snake is really slithering away. EEEK.

Since I had had a small dinner around 4:30, I didn’t need much more that night. Thomas had been working hard all day and ordered pizza, so I had a slice of Rialto around 8.

Back atcha with our Sunday recap (which was a full day of pools and parties!) in the morning : )

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
