Dog Days Of Summer

By

Those dog days of summer :mrgreen:

Breakfast chocolate smoothie and toast.

When we woke up on Monday morning I told Mazen we didn’t have to leave the house today — no camp, no school, no particular place to go! We spent the morning in our jammies and built a massive pillow fort downstairs while watching Moana again.

Lunch sammie with garden tomatoes!

Mazen actually got mad when I suggested we go to the pool. “But you told me we were staying home all day!” I was starting to get cabin fever and needed to go out, plus — the eclipse!

He actually loved watching it. We went to the pool to watch, and a thunderstorm had the same idea. We had clear skies all day and then the clouds suddenly rolled in. I wondered if some kind of apocalypse was actually happening! Thomas met us there with our one pair of glasses he magically found that morning (so unprepared) and we crossed our fingers that the clouds would part.

They did, just in time!

We all saw the eclipse with the glasses. Mazen though it was so cool! We were in an 86% covered location, so it didn’t really get dark. It was hard to tell because the storm clouds darkened the sky too. I saw a few videos from places in the path of totality and wish I had gone to one! It looked so cool.

We spent a few hours in the pool floating around. Mazen can now DIVE. I am amazed at his swimming progress this summer! The only thing he is missing is a hair more confidence. If I suggest he tries to swim across a pool with me next to him the whole time he chickens out after just a few strokes and grabs my arms. I know he can do it, but he doesn’t know it yet!

This wine embodies the last days of summer. I’m sorry it took me until August to discover it! It comes from Winc and is yet another clever wine label name.

Here are the rest of the bottles that came this month (I got a few extra thanks to some of you signing up! You can get $20 off your first month here. Most of the bottles are $13, and shipping is included!)

We had two hours of soccer on Monday night in the playoffs. Our team went to the semis but lost in the finals. I’m just there for a workout and the fun of the game so I don’t mind losing too much : )

Super early dinner salad with a slice of pizza after the games!

Hope you are all are enjoying a great week!

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
