Quinn’s 5th Birthday

By

This cool kid had quite the birthday weekend!

This is 5… silly, sweet, sensitive, kind, thoughtful, creative, curious, persistent, and Pokémon-loving! 🙂

Quinn’s 5th birthday celebration started with a family breakfast at Lucky Finn Cafe.

His cousins from Seattle were visiting, so we wrangled the whole crew and headed down to Scituate to one of our favorite spots.

(Can we talk about their matching outfits?!)

Once Quinn finished eating his almond croissant, it was time to open all sorts of birthday presents, including his first set of Pokemon cards with tin and Pokemon book set. He was pumped!!

After that, we drove out to Funny Farm for a fun day by the pool. FYI: My rainbow hat is from the RUN PROUD line at Brooks. I lovvvveee it. It’s definitely going to become my go-to summer hat!

Our pool day also included a birthday pinata, which was a HUGE hit with the kids!!

It was quite the day and sweet Quinn was all tuckered out by the end!

Quinn falling asleep in the pool was beyond adorable, but probably not the safest. Plus, he really needed another application of sunscreen, so I wrapped him in a towel and brought him outside. Usually, he’d wake up and fight a nap, but he was donezo! He snoozed for almost 2 hours!

On Quinn’s actual birthday (June 9th), we started the day with a trip to Starbucks (just the three of us) where Quinn opened the rest of his presents. Skyrail Wall was definitely a favorite!

Mid-morning (we totally ate ice cream at 10:30 AM), we stopped by Kimball Farm, which is always a favorite destination when we’re in our hometown.

Later that afternoon, it was time for Papi’s wedding. We joked that Papi threw an epic 5th birthday party for Quinn! 🙂 We all had a great time celebrating the happy couple. Quinn really loved getting down on the dance floor! Papi and Lori actually got married at the same place where Mal and I did, so it was fun visiting after all of these years.

After such a full weekend of activities, it’s hard to believe Quinn still has a birthday pool party planned for this Saturday… and the celebration continues!!

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
