Sprinkled With Love

By

On Sunday a handful of my girlfriends threw us a co-ed baby sprinkle aka a party to get together to enjoy lunch and cake. The original location at a vineyard was rained out, but Castle Hill Cider was so very kind to let us use their big event barn. The barn turned out to be such a perfect venue sheltered from the rain but with plenty of space for our large group and a dozen or so kids to run around.

Sarah gave the shower a woodlands theme, which also turned out to be perfect for our barn setting. I loved her veggie tray owl!

We had meatballs, veggie and cheese plates, pesto kale salad, mini sandwiches, a lovely barley and peach salad made by my friend Emily, and fruit.

Plus chocolate lollipops my mom brought from Matthew’s Chocolates in Hillsborough.

And the MOST delicious cake!!

Locals if you’re wondering, the cake was from Foods Of All Nations, and they are my new favorite spot for party sheet cakes! We’ve used them for events a few times, and the cream cheese frosting is a unique style. I’d call it a cross between traditional cream cheese and buttercream. It’s not too sweet, but also not too cream cheesey either. Everyone raved about it, myself and end piece included : )

We also bought lots of cider, and had lavender lemonade for the kids and pregnant ladies : )

Mazen had a great time running around. I think that cheese slice and cracker were all he had for lunch before he ate cake! :wide eye emoji:

There were a host of men/husbands/dads and kids, but they weren’t camera friendly : ) We didn’t want an emphasis on games or gifts – just time with our dearest friends.

My friend Carly is due 3 weeks ahead of me! “We are the women in black” (sung to the Men In Black theme song!)

We opened some gifts at the end, and Baby B got some super cozy sweet outfits, swaddle blankets (because Mazen isn’t sharing his!) and practical items that I needed after being out of babyland for five years.

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
