I Got My “Baby” Back

By

Hi, friends!

We switched Quinn from full-time daycare to part-time this week and my heart couldn’t be happier! As you know, my “baby” turned 4 years old this past Saturday – and before I know it, he’ll be in Kindergarten, so I’m making the most of my time with him. It passes so quickly!

My day started bright and early at 6:00 AM, but Quinn’s didn’t start his until 7:45 AM, which is easily the latest he’s ever slept in his whole life. Woohoo! Sleep PR for Quinn! I actually started to get a little worried about him (he’s rarely ever slept passed 7:00 AM), but he had quite the weekend of birthday celebrations and missed his nap the day before, so I just figured he was tired and let him sleep. I ended up getting some work done, so his late wake-up was greatly appreciated! 🙂

Once we got ourselves ready for the day, we headed out for a “gym day.” Quinn’s buddy Gavin was going to be there (and he had a birthday present for Qman), so he was really excited to hang out.

After CrossFit, we headed to Coffee Shack with Gavin and his mom for a little coffee + donut date.

There were coconut donut samples, so I obviously needed to snag one! 🙂

Car shenanigans! 🙂

After our coffee + donut date, we headed to the library to pick out some books. We used to go to the library ALL the time when Quinn was younger, so I’m glad we’re bringing it back as a regular activity. It’s actually really fun to pick out books with a 4 year old! 🙂

The final stop of our morning adventures was at Target for a few items + playing with the toys, which just never gets old for Quinn!

Back at home, Quinn and I played his new game from Gavin while I threw together lunch for the two of us.

Quinn wanted to eat outside on the fire pit, so that’s what we did. Great idea! It was quite the nice lunch – he even sat and ate for 5 minutes! 🙂

After lunch, Quinn went down for his afternoon nap, and I got right to work. He actually slept well into the afternoon, so I got quite a bit done. Mal even got home from school and the gym before he woke up! Maybe the little dude is going through a growth spurt?

Once Quinn was awake, we took Murphy for a family walk around the neighborhood and talked about our Mondays. Mine was especially nice, and I’m so glad I was able to spend some time with my sweet 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
