Post Christmas Reds + Greens

By

Because there are no post-Christmas blues! I am ready to take down the tree, but Thomas said I have to keep it up until New Years this year. (Because last year I took the whole thing down and dragged it outside without telling him first – oops!) Actually we got it a week later this year, so I’m not totally sick of it yet.

We had a lovely rest-of-the-holiday yesterday. Thomas got me this great Yeti coffee mug and a Patagonia down coat for Christmas! Since having Birch I’m a convert to lidded coffee tumblers instead of a plain mug since it takes me longer to drink my coffee. I love the new Yeti and that it is short and squatty with a handle like a mug. I had a quick Daily Harvest smoothie for breakfast today (love the chai flavor!) with some homemade granola on top. (Granola recipe coming Friday!)

Yesterday little B slept the whole trip back to Cville. Look at that smile!!

We had Thomas’s dad’s famous Christmas Pizza for lunch. It’s spinach, beef, and cheese inside a deep dish pizza crust. I need to make this a KERF recipe to share – it’s so delicious!! Gimme all the end pieces.

We opened gifts and did Family Secret Santa #2! We use Elfster for both my family and T’s family. You can enter in everyone’s email address and it will draw for you so everyone can participate. It’s a great little site. I got a cozy pair of LL Bean bootie slippers that were on my list from T’s mom.

Elfster is just for the adults, so the kids got a bunch of great gifts. Mazen loves his new easel. And he opened a microscope and proclaimed “I love science!” That’s my boy : )

Gussie had been staying with his grandparents, and our car was as full as its ever been. I had to hold gifts on my lap during the ride home so Gus could fit!

Mazen opened a few gifts from Thomas and me, and then he went over to Matt’s for Christmas dinner and Santa round II (because Santa knows when you have two houses). T and I were thrilled to have a quiet night at home after all the chaos of Christmas and travel. We unpacked the car, ate more Christmas pizza, poured a little vino, put on our slippers, and watched half of The Holiday.

B slept great last night (I have a post on sleep coming soon) and I got in a quick treadmill workout this morning before T left for work. These days if all I have is 15 minutes I just try to run as fast as I can and make them the most efficient 15 minutes possible!

Lunch was more Christmas pizza – the last of it. Plus a big arugula salad with candied pecans, havarti, Caesar dressing, and red peppers.

B and I are hanging out till big brother and Thomas come home. No idea what’s for dinner – we either need to go to the grocery store or raid the freezer.

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
