Livin’ Local

Our best weekends start and end on the porch. These rocking chairs were such a great purchase!

Celebrating Cindy!

On Friday night we left Birchie sleeping with a babysitter and joined 20 of our favorite people at The Local for a dinner celebrating Cindy’s birthday! She turned 26 + ? and she and her husband, Eddie, hosted our group for a four-course dinner. So very generous of them, and such a fun night!

The Crew!

Sweat It Out

I had one too many delicious glasses of wine on Friday night and there was only one thing I knew I needed to do: sweat it out! I miraculously made it to Chris’s class at 8am and felt a lot better after a 45 minute dance party.

Rehydrating with pure, clean water.

New Smoothie For Breakfast

I love it when cool new things arrive on my porch, and I received a sample pack of these Thrive Smoothies. Just mix with milk and blend away. This flavor was great!

Facial with Alyssa

I had a nice little me-time morning with a facial at Blue Ridge Skin Therapy! Alyssa used all kinds of cooling products on me – from a peppermint lotion to a minty mask – and it was lovely to be under a warm blanket with a cool face.

Lunch From Belle

I stopped at Belle for a take-out lunch to bring home to Thomas.

Love their club on focaccia and the kale salad!

Afternoon Playtime

Dinner At Nona + John’s

Thomas, Birch and I joined the whole fam for dinner out in North Garden. We had apps, grilled steaks, tomato pie, salad, corn on the cob and key lime pie!! ‘Twas a relaxing and fun night.

Handmaid’s Saturday Night

Gus came out of his room to watch the latest Handmaid’s Tale with us. It was a really good episode (aka a lot happened!) Just two more to go in this season. Gus is still limping a bit, so we’re not sure if he’s healing well or just still sore from the surgery. He seems to be in good spirits though, and he’s getting lots of short walks around the block.

Sunday Funday

Thomas had his me-time with a nice summer golf outing with his brother and some friends. Mazen is now at Matt’s dad’s lake house in South Carolina. Busy travel boy! If you saw on Instagram, he had a super long and annoying trip home from NY to DC, and his suitcase was stuck in NY for a day. He and Matt drive from DC to SC, stopping for 4 hours in Cville at night. Crazy travel ambition! Mazen comes home on Wednesday, and we are so excited to see him!

We are keeping Mazen’s animals company while he’s away!

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
