Shop Till Ya Drop & Other Adventures

By

We’ve had such a fun week of outings!

Mazen and I went to Toys R Us looking for a few pool toys. He is ready to start diving for rings! Naturally he gravitated to the LEGO section and refused to leave. Eventually we left with a snorkel and mask (the worst quality ever), a set of pool rings and more water balloons. All the pool stuff was 20% off!

Lauren and I went on a little shopping trip of our own. I needed wedding shoes before my dress fitting next week, and I didn’t want to front $1,000 on Zappos or Nordstrom just to try on a bunch of pairs and send them back. So it made the most sense to drive down to Short Pump for the morning. I really wanted to try on this fancy brand from Nordstrom, but sadly the Nordstrom shoe section was terrible! They only have the formal shoes online, so we went to other shoe stores instead.

I was also on the hunt for a white dress! I didn’t buy this one because it was just a little too expensive, but I did find one! I will report in my next wedding updates post next week : )

After shopping we had a fun lunch before heading back to Cville.

Cheers to finding some shoes and girl time!

We went to The Boathouse and had the most delicious sushi!

And I had a lovely garden salad with burrata cheese – my favorite! The veggies were all slightly steamed and that was such a nice touch.

Finally, Sarah and I took the kids to run around at Keswick Vineyards last night. They were having their monthly Wine Down Wednesday event with live music and a food truck.

This is my new favorite vineyard: shade, gorgeous scenery, and a beautiful setting! They are so nice there too.

I brought a new bug catcher from my closet of surprises to help the kids have fun outside and they enjoyed looking for bugs.

Another reason Keswick rocks: this fan!! Peeeeerrrrfect for a 100 degree summer day.

Mazey and I had crabcakes for dinner, mine on a salad and his with some yummy sauce. I was pleasantly surprised that he ate the whole thing! I believe that was his first crabcake?

My top is new from LOFT – snagged it for $19 at the mall 🙂 Here’s to summer adventures!

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
