Family Vacation to Black Butte Ranch

By

We hadn’t visited Black Butte Ranch (BBR) since 2015 when Quinn was just a year old, so we were more than ready to return to one of our favorite vacation spots ever.

BBR is truly a special place and one we look forward to visiting again and again, especially now that Quinn is older. There’s so much to do! I really could go on and on about how much we love the ranch, but instead I’ll cut to the chance and show you highlights from our family vacation!

POOL TIME – Seriously, it was a highlight for Quinn for sure. He literally spent 3 hours one day floating around and playing in the water without getting out a single time. We visited the pool just about every day, and Qman could not get enough of it!

Family get-togethers and playing “Fetch” with our son – Another Quinn favorite! 🙂 He and Mal played for quite awhile one night at a family barbecue.

But, really, it was great catching up with family after all of these years!

Riding around in the family’s golf cart – One of my favorite memories from the whole trip was taking it for a spin with Mal and Quinn while listening to music. It was such a nice night and we all smiled the whole way to the general store and back!

Another fun memory was showing up in style to a family get-together! 🙂

Our July 4th celebration – BBR does it up right for the 4th!

Running an impromptu July 4th road race with my sister-in-law! We decided to run in the night before (while drinking wine), and we made it all 3.5 miles around the ranch without stopping! I was pretty impressed with us! 🙂

Quinn adapting well and eating, which was a huge step for us! Usually, when he travels, Quinn goes on “hunger strikes” and wants to go home the whole time. We finally made some progress with our family adventures – family even comments on how flexible and well-behaved he was and he ATE a ton. He also discovered a new love for apple slices with peanut butter! 🙂

A bike adventure around the ranch with the whole family – It was quite the memorable time! Haha!

It was so nice exploring all of the beautiful sights and sounds of the ranch!

Morning bike rides to get iced coffee… and popcorn! I really enjoyed the active lifestyle at the ranch. Mal and I barely “worked out” on vacation, we surpassed our daily step goal everyday because we never stopped moving!

I wore the long-sleeve top below on ton on vacation – I’m so glad Mal “made” me buy it! 🙂

Quality time, shenanigans, and everything else – Basically, just enjoying time away from “real life.” It was soooooo nice to disconnect and just focus on family and fun!

Question of the Day

Were you on vacation last week? If you had to pick just one memory, what would it be?

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
