Our Weekend: I’m All Ears

By

You might have seen on Instagram that sweet Birchie was not himself last week. After a few calls to the doctor I finally got an appointment because I knew something was wrong. My instinct was right: he had his first ear infection! Poor buddy felt awful and wasn’t sleeping well. By mid-day Saturday he was back to his smiles and eating well again.

And sleeping as well as you can when you get your feet in a tangle!!

Friday Dinner

Sweet potato, sausage and apple hash with a fried egg on top! The base was from Plenty!

Saturday workout + smoothie

Both mornings Birch woke up around 5:00 but was able to go right back to sleep after a dose of medicine. He slept until after 7 both days (which was great compared to Wed + Thurs when he was so miserable he slept ON me in my bed from 4:00 on). I slept in too and woke up at 7:30. I almost skipped my Saturday morning class, but it’s the only class worth getting up for on a Saturday, so I actually wanted to go. SO glad I did because it was a great one!

I picked up a smoothie at the gym which was a mistake because the just can’t make them like I can!

Work Date + Grocery Shopping

Thomas offered to give me a little break in the morning (partly because Birch wanted to be held all week and partly because he had plans to work on the porch all afternoon). I happily took my laptop to Whole Foods and worked on some Beautycounter things! I ended the trip with a grocery shop. Gone are the days when I put 10 things in my cart and create meals based on my cravings of the day. #kidschangeeverything

Hot bar for lunch!

Beautycounter Holiday + An Epic Nap

Birch took a GREAT afternoon nap, and I set out some of my holiday collection so a friend could come browse! (If you want to know more about everything you see, hop on my Beautycounter email list!)

Perfect little gift for teachers, coworkers, hair stylists, and friends. (Hand cream, body butter, Jellie in Sorbet, Starbucks card, chocolate)

Afternoon ‘Round The House

B had a snack.

I lounged in my athleisure 🙂 Mazen went to a birthday party!

Thomas put up screen track. (Check my Instagram highlights for porch progress!!)

B and I went for a nice little walk.

Snug as a bug in his Bundleme bunting.

Saturday Pasta Strikes Again

I asked Mazen what he wanted for dinner and he said “noodles” so we had the Gordon Ramsey Shrimp Scampi again! We’ve done linguini with clams and shrimp scampi each twice now. What’s your favorite winter pasta dish? (Hooked on Saturday pasta because Mazen’s on a noodle kick!)

Look at this boy! He still wears footie PJs but he can trim his own fingernails :mrgreen:

Cookie Time!

Thomas pulled the last of the ginger cookie dough from the freezer and we had hot cookies for dessert!

I may have eaten five…!

Monday Funday

Because of Sunday soccer games I’ve been taking rest days from workouts on Mondays, which makes them extra fun because I feel like I have so much time!!

But that doesn’t mean I have more than two hands – haha! Daily Harvest smoothies are my go-to when I’ve got two kid breakfasts to assemble and a lunch to make. {You can get three cups free off you first box.}

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
