Friday Night With Quinn

By

Hi, friends! Happy Saturday!

Quinn and I were flying solo last night (Mal is in Maine), so when I picked him up from school, I asked him what he wanted to do with our Friday night. His response: “I want to go to the toy store and make green cookies.” Well, ok then! The kid knew what he wanted, and it sounded like a great plan to me!

Our first stop was The Toy Box in Hanover. It’s a local shop, and it truly does have the best toys – sometimes even better than Target! And, of course, we love supporting small businesses, so we often shop there for gifts.

When we pulled into the parking lot, Quinn literally RAN from the car inside the store. He. Was. Pumped.

We wandered around and played with all sorts of toys for a solid 20 minutes before he stumbled upon a “Cobra Light-Up Blazer.” His face immediately lit up with excitement, so I knew that was the toy!

The “Serpent Sword” was an immediate hit the second we took it out of the box. It lights up and has 3 different settings! 🙂 We played with it all night and the sword even “slept” on the couch in Quinn’s bedroom. He wanted to take it into bed with him, but that was not happening! He would have never slept! Haha!

After dinner, we baked a batch of sugar cookies. We’re loving the ones from Immaculate. They’re super easy to make, non-GMO, and gluten-free!

Once the cookies were finished baking, we decorated them with a (very non-GMO) sparkly green frosting for St. Patrick’s Day.

After making cookies, we watched part of Moana and then headed to bed.

It was a fun little night with my boy! 🙂

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
