School At Home

Here’s how we’re doing school at home these days :mrgreen:

How we’re doing school at home for real:

Literacy

Math

P.E.

Science

Social studies deliveries to our neighbor

Art

Recess + Snack

Now is not the time for perfection

Thus far, the policy in our house has been a little screen time and then anything but. Of course that doesn’t mean the Nintendo hasn’t been turned on at 1:00 pm. But this is my goal.

Yesterday the Governor of Virginia announced kids will not be going back to school this year. While this was an announcement we had been expecting, I admit it kind of knocked my socks off. The reality of how long this phase is really going to last sunk in. I knew we wouldn’t be back to school by April, but I had hopes that life might resume normal by May. Looks like it’s going to be a lot longer than that.

As for learning, we’re still taking things one day at a time. Mazen would much rather do art projects all day long than any kind of learning game on the computer. He doesn’t like to sit still to read for more than 20 minutes at a time. (He’s a 7 year old active boy, I get it.) So we’re doing lots of creative activities and playing outside in the yard or riding bikes along the greenway every afternoon. I’m treading water right now until I decide which direction I want to swim.

As for me…

I’m getting in my studies where I can, when I can. As I’m brainstorming topics for next week, I’m debating where to go. I’m trying to think what is best for the short term and the long term. Do I want to pivot during this time and go back to daily life recaps in the evenings (or mornings) or do I want to stick with planned topics and try to make them as relevant as possible? I do have a sponsored post coming up this week, which has been planned for a while, and it’s a topic that fits with having the kids home all spring. And I have some other posts I’ve already started that I’d like to complete. But from there…?

What do you guys want to read about?

I look at this sweet boy and realize: he has no idea what’s going on. He thinks it’s life as usual. And there is peace in that.

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
