Slinkin’ Through The Weekend

By

^ Valentine’s heart slinky!! Highlight of his week. We have to get him a big one to see if it walks down the stairs!

On Friday I made Julie’s Crockpot Coconut Chicken and Cauliflower Rice Stew. ‘Cept I used whole cauliflower instead of rice. It was packed with red curry and coconut, and we loved it!

Friday night we started the series The Sinner. I heard about it on the Young House Love podcast. We watched the first 3 episodes are are hooked! Now we just have to figure out if we can find them for free or need to buy the rest. The show stars Jessica Biel, who I did not recognize at first, and Bill Pullman, who I used to LOVE from his 90s movies. I only recognized him from his VOICE! #IndependenceDaySpeech

On Saturday morning we were served breakfast in bed! I heard a bunch of banging in the kitchen and Mazey appeared with sheet-pan trays and bread with both butter and peanut butter on top. Plus sippy cups with water! Very sweet.

Saturday morning “second breakfast” was a jalapeno and cheese omelet and fruit.

We did some chores around the house. I paid him $1 to help me with his laundry, and he did a great job with the socks and underpants.

We went to the gym mid-morning for workouts. I did elliptical + sauna + walking + stretching and Mazen built a house in KidsZone!

Lunch was a bunch of leftovers because our fridge was bare. Fish, yogurt, peppers, carrots, and manchego, plus chips on the side.

We hung Mazen’s school-made bird feeder. We haven’t seen any birds yet, but it’s in plain view tempting them over. M is really into birds right now.

We had gross, rainy, cold weather again, so we went to the mall to spend the afternoon inside yet get outside of the house.

Mazen got one of these little Hatchimals at the game store. The instructions said to rub it until warm and the heart turns purple and then gently crack it open. Well, we rubbed it warm for HOURS before Thomas was finally able to break it open. Not sure if we had a dud or if it was just too cold of a day to work! Mazen thought it was very cool and it was a great source of entertainment for a few hours, so it was worth all $3!

Grocery store stop! Note Thomas and I both put apples in the cart and didn’t realize it until we were checking out with 10 apples!

T made us a little cheese plate for a late afternoon snack.

I left the boys eating pizza and watching Zombies while I got dressed for the Legwarmers! My Bayside Tigers shirt was such a good purchase. It comes out every time. Apple Watch not appropriate for the decade! Just pretend it’s a calculator. 

I met a bunch of friends at Three Notch’d (Cville’s most popular group spot these days!). I had a new salad with brussels, beets, crispy farro, and avocado. It was good and healthy but maybe a little on the bland side. Pretzel balls and bites of pork nachos and french fries made up for it though!

We had a great time at the show. Highlights are always 99 Red Balloons, Come On Eileen and Total Eclipse of the Heart!

Sunday is always the day I try to relax the most, so I rarely take photos of our day. I read my book, snuggled with the boys, and played soccer late in the afternoon. Hope you guys had a great weekend!

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
