24 Days of Togetherness [Days 1 – 4]

By

Hi, friends! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Ours was really nice – lots of family, fun, and food! 🙂 And… as soon as it was over, we were right into the “official” holiday season with all things Christmas – starting with getting our Christmas tree, of course. I actually think November 29th is definitely the earliest we’ve ever gotten our tree. So much for our December 1st rule!

We shopped at our usual place, and Quinn picked out a beauty of a tree. It was actually one of the first ones he saw!

As always, before we left, we stopped to snap our annual family photo.

Back at home, we continued our “get a Christmas tree” tradition with Lime Leaf (for lunch) and decorating.

Decorating was a lot of fun – even more so now that Quinn is older. We had a great time reminiscing about ornaments and their memories from previous years with him.

After lunch and decorating, we picked out our activities for 24 Days of Togetherness. It officially starts tomorrow, so if you haven’t downloaded and printed your PDF, you can still get it here!

While selecting our activities, we noticed that we had already completed some of our favorite 24 Days of Togetherness activities. Apparently, we were really excited to get a jumpstart on the holidays! So we pulled them out of our tin and decided to OFFICIALLY start picking activities on December 5th.

DAY 1: GET A CHRISTMAS TREE AND DECORATE IT

DAY 2: BUY A N EW CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT 

Mal and I made ornaments at the Pottery Playce a few weeks ago. Quinn made a lizard named “Lemon.”

DAY 3: BUY A HOLIDAY GIFT FOR YOUR PET

We bought Murphy a doggie advent calendar a few weeks ago at Trader Joe’s. I think I might be more excited to start it tomorrow than he is! 😉

DAY 4: VISIT SANTA CLAUS

Our town had a holiday bazaar a couple of weeks ago, so we stopped by to see Santa.

Question of the 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
