OBX 2017 // Part II

^^Is that not the coolest kite you’ve ever seen?! It was so spooky – especially its shadow! Nona bought it on Amazon. It’s huge!

Our weather has been a bit cooler, but thankfully stayed pretty dry. We’ve been watching the news and thinking of all of you in Irma’s path, from the Caribbean on up. I’ve seen photos of some of the world’s most beautiful places destroyed, and it’s heartbreaking.

Sunny little breakfast –

On Saturday down on the beach, we enjoyed reading, kites, fishing, and splashing, on occasion.

Thomas’s dad did some fishing. So did I!

We set up our Beach Bub umbrella and it gets two big thumbs up!! Despite the wind, this guy was a piece of cake to set up and didn’t budge at all. Here’s how you do it with the base filled with sand. Ta-da!

A balanced beach lunch: chips, sandwich, pickle, beer 🙂

We got dressed up and headed to Blue Point for dinner one night. We had a table with a sound-side sunset view!

I didn’t take pictures of our dinner, but the crab and salmon sauté I had was great!

Our temps dropped a lot and the wind picked up on Sunday, so we spent most of the day indoors. Mazen and I went for a walk on the beach.

I was in a jacket, but he somehow still managed to go for a swim! That little guy does not feel cold.

I made a plate of leftovers for lunch – grilled chicken, cheese, chips, and sauteed veggies. (Sometimes I put my salad in a skillet!)

We played this cute shopping cart memory game that Emerson sent for Mazen’s birthday, and then did a few puzzles.

For dinner we had hoping to pick crabs, but crab season was a bust this year, so instead we had delicious grilled steaks, oven-baked potato wedges, corn salad, and green salad.

We’ve been playing Chickapig every night! It’s a board game invented in Cville (with enthusiastic support from Dave Matthews!), and if you love board games, this will be your few favorite. (You can find it on Amazon too.)

On our final day, we had more waffles for breakfast. I went on another run. Then we went to play putt-putt!

We ate at Cap’n Franks for lunch (fried grouper and french fries!) and then headed home for reading and another quick run down to the beach to say goodbye.

For our final meal, Thomas was the head chef and we put together these yummy flounder fish tacos. I decided to have mine “grain bowl” style over the toasted coconut rice we made instead of in tortillas. Loved it! We had pineapple black beans, cabbage slaw, crema, guacamole, and the coconut rice as a side.

We said goodbye to the Atlantic for the year. Hope to see you next summer!

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
