Friday

Grammie and Pea were here through Saturday, so we packed a bunch of fun into the day after Thanksgiving. {The beard is gone!}

Thomas and I snuck off to a 75-minute hot yoga class at Elements. I just love this studio! T has gotten into it too. We’re trying to go 1-2 times a week all winter.

I lied: I actually DID step into Pottery Barn on Black Friday (but I didn’t buy anything!) I just put some cozy fleece robes on my Christmas list!

Brunch was egg, pear, cranberry sauce, toast, and lemon hand pie!

On Friday afternoon we had beautiful weather and headed out to Crozet to King Family Vineyards.

This is Mazen’s cowboy face:

We shared a bottle of Viognier and then went to Smoked for the world’s earliest dinner! I guess since many people eat Thanksgiving dinner at 3:00 pm it was appropriate for us to have Black Friday dinner at 4:30 pm?! We just didn’t want to have to kill another hour or two.

Smoked Kitchen and Tap was awesome and totally lived up to the hype! I got a Blue Plate Special with 4 sides and cornbread. Dad had the best pumpkin milkshake ever, and mom and Thomas both had awesome pulled pork. I used to get Smoked all the time from the downtown mall food cart, and now all of my favorite flavors are available in full-on restaurant form!

Afterwards we went upstairs to the Crozet Creamery. (Birthday cake flavor ice cream for me!)

Because we had such an early dinner, we were home and ready for bed at 6:30 pm. Ha!

The rest of us stayed up a bit watching the UVA – Tech football game. (Thomas went with friends!)

Lap dog!

Saturday

I went to athletic conditioning on Saturday morning at 8:00 am. After toast and eggs, we said goodbye to G+P and had a low-key day.

I went on a special afternoon adventure that I’ll tell you about soon (hint: it involved lots of salt!) and the boys went to the driving range! It was Mazen’s first time, and he did really great!

I had a mish mosh of snacks for lunch – Babybel cheese, peanut butter and carrots, a glass of milk – and then a green juice after my adventure was over!

We played Legos and had leftovers for dinner. The meal that keeps on giving!

I told Mazen that I know Santa and he didn’t believe me. So, I told Mazen to write Santa a letter to ask. He did, and Santa responded – with a cookie trail and a mess in the fireplace! Mazen believes me now! : )

The end.

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
