24 Days of Togetherness: Days 1 – 9

By

Hi, friends! Happy Monday! I hope you had a very nice weekend! 🙂

Ours was low-key, but really great. There was a lot of holiday cheer to be had, especially now that we’re in full swing with our 24 Days of Togetherness tradition. I can’t believe we’ve already finished 9 days! The time is sure flying by, which is why I love that we have a “bucket list” of sorts to make sure that we take full advantage of the season. With that, here’s a recap of our holiday activities so far!

DAY 1: Read a Christmas book before bed

DAY 2: Make holiday pancakes

And Quinn ate a piece of bacon!!

DAY 3: Bake Christmas cookies

DAY 4: Watch a holiday movie

We watched Home Alone!

DAY 5: Tell each other something you love about them.

Quinn said he loves my hugs and snuggles and playing with Dada.

Mal said he loves the (weird) selfies and Instagram posts that I send him. He said he loves it when Quinn tells funny stories.

I said I love that Mal is such a great dad and that Quinn is so kind and takes care of other people. (After I said that, he brought me a blanket to put on my lap since I was sitting on the couch.)

DAY 6: Take a drive and look for Christmas lights.

Like previous years, we visited Lilah Lane in Pembroke. On the drive, Mal said to Quinn the Christmas lights would “blow his mind.” Quinn’s response: “Nope, nothing blows my mind. Fire doesn’t come out of my head!” The kid is so funny! He loved seeing the lights, and we drove through the neighborhood 3 times!

DAY 7: Send a letter to Santa.

DAY 8: Buy each other small gifts.

We took a family trip to Target and bought one another small gifts.

DAY 9: Decorate a gingerbread house 

P.S. Local followers: This weekend at the Derby Street Shops, there’s a free Cookie Decorating Class + Milk & Cookies with Santa. Quinn and I will be there! Details and to sign up here!

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
