2017 Annual Newport Weekend

By

Another Newport weekend is in the books! This was our 9th year visiting (Qman’s 5th – feel free to do the math on that one ;)), and it’s still our favorite weekend of the year!

Friday

Annual cart photo! 🙂

Once we were settled, we headed out into Newport to do some exploring and grab dinner.

We went to The Deck for dinner, which was just okay food- and drink-wise, but the views were incredible!

Saturday

We were up and at ’em on Saturday morning. Qman was more than ready to start the day!

First stop: Empire Tea & Coffee.

Second stop: Kiel James Patrick! I follow him (@kjp) and his wife (@sarahKJP) on Instagram, so I just had to see what the store was all about – Qman was not nearly as excited! 🙂

Then, it was off to the arcade!

Papi and Lori joined us there!

After that, we headed back to the timeshare for lunch and Qman’s nap. When he woke up, we had some snacks and drinks on the porch.

Hooray for cheesy popcorn!

Then, we all drove over to The Lawn at Castle Hill, one of our favorite annual family traditions.

FYI: My pants are from Stitch Fix! 🙂

Sunday

Sunday started with run on the Cliff Walk, one of my favorite placed ever to run!

After my run, I enjoyed an iced espresso mixed with protein powder as well as some serious Transformer and Paw Patrol playtime!

Papi and Lori made us pancakes and bacon for breakfast.

After breakfast, we planned to go on a sail boat ride, but it got rained out, so we went back to the arcade for some more fun.

We did a little shopping and grabbed lunch at Gas Lamp Grille before heading back for Quinn’s nap.

When he woke up, we played indoors for awhile, but we eventually got a little stir-crazy, so we headed to a nearby playground and took a walk along the water.

That night, after we put Quinn to bed, Mal and I headed out for a date night at The Mooring. We had such a nice time. I highly recommend The Mooring! The food and service were excellent!

Chocolate chip gelato was a GREAT decision!

I can’t believe our Newport weekend is already over. Until next year!

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
