How Grand

By

We had some visitors this weekend who made things extra fun around here! My parents tried to visit us not once but twice this winter and both times they had to cancel the trip because of winter colds. With a little baby at home, we just didn’t want to risk him getting sick. Especially since snuggling him was one of the main reasons they were coming!

But this time they made it. Birch was excited to see his Grammie!

Friday

On Friday Thomas and I had an early quiche dinner and then headed to ACAC for a rooftop party.

It was Chris’s annual birthday bash! Unfortunately the wind was strong and temps quite cold up there, but we still had a good time.

The man, the myth, the legend.

I brought a cake from Foods Of All Nations!! The 26 is because my birthday is his half birthday and vice versa so we share a love for the number 26. I think some people were confused by his age, but he got the joke. I didn’t even think about age when I requested it!

Saturday

Saturday morning was gorgeous!! Thomas was up bright and early cutting our grass.

We had a big breakfast of eggs, muffins, and grapes.

I went for a run on the greenway during B’s nap.

And then had a strawberry banana smoothie and carrots/celery for lunch.

Grammie and Pea arrived just after lunch and we spent the afternoon playing and getting ready for a cookout.

Grammie hitting a home run!

Nona (Thomas’s mom), Clay and Nash joined us for dinner, and we had a grand ole time playing sports in the yard and eating cake (more cake!) for dessert.

Nash is smitten with his little cousin!

He even did the big job of feeding Birch some prunes for dinner. B was really into them!

We had burgers and brats for dinner with pesto kale salad and Nona’s mac and cheese.

I had half and half.

That cake tho!

Thomas and I watched episode 2 of GOT after dinner. ‘Twas a good one! (But not as good as episode 1)

Sunday

We had a light breakfast on Sunday in anticipation of brunch later on. I had a yogurt plus a little Cville Cluster Granola.

Grammie helped me put B down for nap with his stories. He LOVES books <3

After showers and B’s nap, we raced out the door for brunch. We walked downtown and landed at The Fitzroy for their brunch buffet. Luckily we got a table outside!

The buffet was great, and they had tons of brunch specialities.

Birchie was so happy during brunch! He decided to eat his foot for dessert.

But just as predicted, at the 1:45 wake time he got super fussy and was ready for his next nap. So I (literally) ran home to put him in his crib!

Meanwhile, the crew took Mazey to Chaps, as promised.

After some quiet time on Sunday afternoon, I left for my soccer game and everyone came to watch for a bit.

Mom and Dad babysat the kids for us to head out for an early date night. We are sad for them to go home!

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
