Summer Kick Off Week

By

Trying to get Little Birchie to smile!!

Mazen will be doing three different camps this summer (one of them is a grandparent camp in the Adirondacks with Karen!) But before his busy summer of fun began, I wanted to give him a week with no plans so he could veg out, 1990 style. While it was a little more chaotic than normal having him home a lot this week, it was also fairly relaxing. I shifted my schedule around so when he was here I was “just” a mom, and it was really nice that he didn’t have to get up for the bus at 6:10am! He came into my room on Wednesday and proclaimed that he “slept in like a teenager” until 7:30.

Matt and I took him to get his passport renewed on Tuesday. (That vest!!)

He was also very helpful with Birch! This was the Brothersitting scene while I took a shower:

We did several crafts and had a lesson in mixology.

We played basketball (aka I rocked Birch on the porch and we counted Mazen’s dribbles) and took B on a walk.

We had a big animal party with lots of pillows.

And we had a playdate at a friends’ house – BBQ chicken sandwiches and couscous salad.

The main thing we DIDN’T do was go to the pool. It was a bit on the chilly side this week, but Matt and Mazen went a few times. It was too cold for me and Birch! Plus I’m a little scared to take B to the pool mostly because he still has to be held a lot of the time. I’m really, really glad Mazen can swim though! I can’t imagine taking a baby and a sort-of swimmer to the pool at the same time. We played in the “hot tub” instead:

Meals

Daily Harvest Chai Smoothie with Granola

Egg salad with cucumber, peanut sauce, strawberries, and chips

Thai crunch salad and black bean burrito

(Both from Plenty!)

Homemade pizza with salad

I hope you guys have a great weekend, and a Happy Father’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
