I Wanna Live Where The Green Grass Grows

By

Oof – our yard has been through the ringer! Thomas LOVES landscaping, which is a really good balance for us because I don’t really care what my yard looks like. (I want it to look nice, but I’m not going to sing to the grass every night.) He spent the entire month of September working in the yard. (I never exaggerate, do I?)

Seriously though, there was a time when I never knew what was going to show up. Like the day when a giant dump truck came by to drop a giant pile of dirt in the front.

And then came back two hours later with MORE dirt!

All that super nutrient-dense pay dirt (from Panorama Farm!) got spread through the yard by hand, by Thomas. Poor guy worked after the sun had set a few nights. (He also planted all of those Schip Laurel bushes in the front by hand!)

T put down special straw netting to help with the erosion on the back hill. That’s the main reason the sod died on the hill, so we’re trying to keep the new seed in place.

We had a grass company come and fertilize, aerate and seed.

And I’ll be darned if there isn’t baby grass growing all over the yard now!

Here are two edible greens I had this week –

Tender baby greens with leftover squash, ravioli, and gouda.

And arugula with a white wine Dijon dressing, chicken, red peppers, and cheese.

What song should I sing to the grass tonight?!

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
