24 Days of Togetherness [Days 5 – 9]

By

Good morning, friends!

I can’t believe it’s already December 10th. Holy cow, this month is flying by. But, of course, that’s why we love 24 Days of Togetherness so much.

The holiday season always whizzes by, and I’d hate to feel like we missed out some of our favorite traditions. Having a bucket list of sorts is such a great way to enjoy time together while also “checking off” our favorite activities. With that, here’s a recap of days 5 -9! 🙂

DAY 5: Make a gingerbread house.

Quinn actually had the opportunity to make TWO gingerbread houses. One was a kit from Trader Joe’s.

And the other was a part of a special “Saturday Science” class at the Hingham Library all about architecture. Didn’t he do a great job? I’m so impressed with our little architect!

DAY 6: Bake holiday cookies.

This year’s cookies might have been the tastiest yet! 🙂 We used pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough and then decorated the cookies with red and green frosting and all sorts of sprinkles.

DAY 7: Go to see holiday lights.

We saw the lightshow on Lilah Lane once again this year. If you’re local, it’s a MUST SEE!

Then, we came home and ate cereal together. 🙂

DAY 8: Donate a gift to a local toy drive.

Our local Orangetheory hosted a gift drive to support the Massachusetts Department of Children and Family, so we participated and selected a 10 year old boy.

DAY 9: Watch a holiday movie

This year, we snuggled on the couch in our holiday pajamas and watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, which was Quinn’s pick! 🙂

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
