Big 7

By

Good morning and happy Friday!! We have a big weekend ahead with Mazen’s golden birthday: 7 on the 7th! Grammie + Pea are coming to town, I’m taking popsicles to his class today, we have his friend party on Saturday and a family dinner party on Saturday night to a fun place Mazen hasn’t been to before! Any guesses!?

Hidden Toys

Little boy wants to be a big 7 year old so badly! He loves Mazen’s toys more than anything but few of them are baby appropriate. I remembered I had the big Legos (duplos?) tucked away and brought them out so the boys could “play Legos” together. B likes to chew on them more than building towers.

We have a new babysitter!

Speaking of my little boy – we have a new sitter! I have waffled back and forth between hiring someone regularly, winging it, and trying to do it all. I decided that at least until Birch is down to one long afternoon nap I’m going to pay for a regular, consistent morning sitter. We’ve had her for a week and it’s been SO NICE. I’ve been leaving the house (!) from 9-12 and working in coffeeshops or at the gym. I’m trying not to feel guilty for paying someone to watch my child sleep because the flexibility and consistency is absolutely priceless right now when naps can be unpredictable anyways. And leaving the house has felt surprisingly refreshing. (Ask me again in the middle of winter….)

Smoothie in hand = portable breakfast on my way out the door!

Fluffy Smoothies

Increase your milk :: frozen fruit ratio and get a super fluffy smoothie! It’s been my jam lately. Plus some granola clusters on top.

An Unsung Hero: The English Muffin

We had some last week (the Vermont bread brand) and used them multiple ways!

First – as a burger bun. I loved how compact this burger was.

Second as a breakfast sandwich. This breakfast was actually made by Thomas! How sweet of him. Although I’m not sure about the tomatoes. I may be enjoying English muffins but I am not English :mrgreen:

We ran out of English muffins and I ate a leftover burger on top of a Plenty soba noodle salad.

And this week’s Plenty salad was quinoa with edamame and veggies in a carrot-ginger dressing that was so refreshingly delish! Plus heirlooms from our garden!

You guys know I put weird things on salads. How about little bites of quiche! I cut some up for Birch and put the rest on my salad.

He tried some herbed goat cheese and orange slices for the first time. Liked them both.

Hope you guys have a smashing weekend!

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
