Summer Fun & My New Favorite Pool Bag

By

^^What is Mazen’s tongue doing here!?!

Here’s a little peek into our lives from yesterday : )

I had overnight oats made with cinnamon and blueberries for breakfast. Blueberries are so darn good right now!

I took Mazey to camp, which is a half day this week. I worked on a Quaker recipe post for August (a tropical smoothie bowl that I can’t wait to share!) all morning.

For lunch, Thomas surprised us with smoked salmon bagels from Bodos!

I picked Mazen up after lunch and we went swimming at the Waterpark.

And let me tell you about my new pool bag!

My mom has a Scout bag as her beach bag and had me eyeing them while we were on Bald Head. These bags are all the rage on the island, but they were out of the largest version with all the pockets that I wanted in the shop there, so I had to order mine on Amazon when I got home. It’s the Scout – The BJ bag, and it’s been so great to tote to the pool.

In addition to the large main pocket, it has two looser pockets on the front and two tighter pockets on the back. I keep our sunscreens on one side and goggles on the other, so they are all easy to reach.

The main area easily fits 2-3 towels, snacks, pool toys and water bottles. There’s a tiny zip pocket for things that need safe keeping, and I love that the whole top can zip closed too.

I love that the back pockets are tighter, so things don’t slide out. I keep my Kindle and phone tucked in these! (Kindle case is also from Amazon!)

These bags are lightweight, durable, water resistant, and easy to clean. And they come in lots of colors and patterns! I am a huge fan. 

I went to get the bag out of my trunk and Gussie hopped in! And then he wouldn’t get out. He definitely wanted to go for a ride. Mazen and I were cracking up at him!

We had this dinner of roasted potatoes, lemon-garlic asparagus, and shrimp. Greek yogurt for potato dipping!

Do you have a pool bag that you love? I have always loved bags with lots of pockets : )

And for real this time, 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
