Rollin’ Through The Weekend

By

We had a fun weekend full of exciting free indoor activities! Our rec center turns into a totally free roller rink on Fridays and Sundays, and we had our first visit. Mazen was expectedly very wobbly, and I didn’t get to skate this time so I could hold him steady, but by the end of our hour-long lesson, he was slowly rolling on his own.

During that hour though, he fell 100 times, and my upper back felt like it had been ripped apart on Saturday morning from all the lifting and catching I did!

Afterwards we went with Gaby and her kids to Three Notchd!

I couldn’t wait for a beer and pretzels bites!

For dinner, I had blackened fish with KALE CHIPS and root puree!

On Saturday morning I had a yogurt + granola bowl with banana and Naturally Nutty Cinnamon Vanilla Almond Butter. YUM!

T went to the grocery store and brought home some gorgeous flowers that are making our whole house smell like a tropical garden!

I spent some time cleaning out our pantry, which was a mess. We had baking powder from 2011!! See all those neatly stacked tea bags on the right?!

For lunch I made a great salad – mixed greens, homemade dressing, red peppers, candied walnuts, corn and bean dip, and goat cheese. Best salad i’ve made in a while!

Saturday afternoon we hung around the house and prepped for a little football gathering. The neighbors had us over for a S’more!

Thomas made his city-famous corn and bean dip, and we cranked up the Big Green Egg for a wings, beer can chicken and pork. Our friends brought their famous mac and cheese!

Thomas wants me to say “Go Eagles!!!”

Sunday morning was all snuggles. I usually have a zoo of animals wake me up every morning, so this was typical:

We had little tiny pancakes and oranges so as not to spoil our appetites for brunch. Mazen helped me scoop them on the skillet!

We met T’s mom for brunch at Red Pump and had the most DELICIOUS Eggs Benedict!

That biscuit underneath was just so doughy and buttery!

Sunday afternoon Thomas built new shelves in the office (more on that soon!), the boys sprayed each other with silly string (which is so fun yet smells so toxic!!) and I cleaned my wedding dress.

The bottom was dirty – mostly with literal dirt from the gardens and grounds – and I debated sending it off to get professionally cleaned. But before I dropped $200 on a dress I will never wear again (other than to play dress up) I decided to just try to clean it myself. I used a gentle dish soap and hot water and most of the dirt came out!

M and I went to the ACAC Big Room for the afternoon = more free indoor entertainment as party of our membership.

And then we had quesadillas for dinner with leftovers from the football dinner – smoked chicken, bean and corn dip, red peppers, and cheese.

Hope you had a great weekend! (And for some of you, it’s not over yet!)

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
