Mother’s Day Revolved Around Food

By

My boys treated me to THE BEST Mother’s Day on Sunday. Much of the day involved eating, drinking, and be merry. Let’s just say Mother’s Day revolved around food… and, of course, spending time with my boys. I actually think it was my favorite Mother’s Day yet!

The morning started with all sorts of awesomeness, including a Mother’s Day song that Quinn sang to me as well as a bunch of presents – golf lessons, a shark koozie, and Hershey’s Kisses. Quinn said part of my present was also tucking me in the couch with his stuffed animals (“Tiny Eagle, Pinch-y, Bobo, and Daffodil”) and blankets (“Geet and Noonie”) and eating chocolate. The kid knows me so well! 🙂

Speaking of knowing me well, Quinn also made me this:

After that, we headed to Lucky Finn Cafe for breakfast. It’s one of my favorite places, so it was an easy choice for Mother’s Day! 🙂

And, of course, I couldn’t ask for better company.

I ordered the “Figgy” sandwich (fig spread, cheddar, bacon), which was incredible. Yummmm!

Quinn ordered an almond croissant and house-made chocolate milk.

Almond croissant versus Quinn – haha!

Quinn and I also shared a special Mother’s Day cupcake.

Cupcake cheers! 🙂

After breakfast, we drove home to clean up the house, meal prep, and do laundry. Around lunchtime, we headed to Whole Foods for the second part of my Mother’s Day celebration. We bought a bunch of supplies for another “Euro Party Night,” which obviously meant that we needed to stop at the Euro Mart for some cured meats.

Our party also included a tasty white wine blend from Scout & Cellar and white chocolate toffee cookies from Barnes & Nobles. Holy yum!

Mother’s Day pretty much revolved around food and spending time with my boys, which is exactly how I wanted to celebrate the day. I hope all of the moms out there had a wonderful day as well!

Question of the Day

Moms, what was the best part of your Mother’s Day?

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
