Double Birthday Weekend!

By

Three cakes, two birthdays, one fun weekend!

Friday night workout social

On Friday night I went to ACAC for a little social involving a double strength and cycle class. I had taken almost a week off of hard exercise and really needed a great sweat! We had a great time grooving to 80s music before showering and heading over to the Legwarmers concert!

Saturday sports

On Saturday morning the boys woke me up with a lovely rendition of happy birchday. Then Mazen led me on a very clever and complicated scavenger hunt he had been designing from 6-7am. It was very sweet with “jewels” and homemade necklaces at the end.

I took him to his soccer game after that, and he scored four goals!

I fit in a treadmill run while Birch napped and Thomas hit up the grocery store and then showered and got all ready for the afternoon. We were very lucky to have Nona come to watch the boys so we could do a little grown up celebrating at Blenheim Vineyards with some friends!

My birthday wish: wine and cheese with friends!

We had tasting flights and….

an epic Plenty Cville cheese board!!! My favorite: the brie with pumpkin butter.

Sarah brought a little cake and the world’s largest birthday candle. lol.

Family dinner at home

We decided to do a family night in instead of going out, and I requested that linguini with clams we did a while back. It was delicious!

Cake Surprise #2!

Thomas surprised me with a cake too, so we were all caked out by the end of the night! I loved the raspberry layers on this one.

The greatest gift of sleep

We went to bed at 9:30 and the boys didn’t wake up until 7. A miracle!!

Sunday sports

On Sunday we had smoothies for breakfast, tidied up the house, and after Birch’s nap we all went to the gym for a family sesh. Birch has been loving the train table in Kids Zone! And Mazen loves that we let him bring his iPad. Thomas and I did a couple’s workout, which was so nice. Soccer was cancelled due to soggy fields, and this was the next best thing.

We had a late lunch – little salads and leftover cheese board and then prepped the house for Birch’s birthday party!

Birch is having two birthday parties

Yesterday we had his family party, and next weekend we’ll be celebrating with some baby friends! It’s always nice to get the fam together.

Our bonus family came over for a little visit as well <3

Chili + Cornbread for dinner

Birch Themed Birthday Party!

Naturally Birch’s party was birch themed! His cake was from Vivi’s Cakes and Candy, formerly Sweethaus.  They did a great job on the birch theme. And the wood slice from our wedding keeps on giving!

I bought plates and napkins from Oriental Trading and paper straws from Amazon.

First Taste of Cake

I didn’t know how he would react to his slice. He didn’t really know how to pick it up at first, but once we helped him with a little taste he was all in!

The black “wood” frosting under the white was something I didn’t predict for photos, but his black mouth kind of fit the Halloween decor behind him : )

Clap clap if it’s your bday!

I’m actually exhausted after traveling, Birch coming down with a little cold, and then going right into a weekend of activities. I’m ready for a nice regular routine week!

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
