Field Day (From a Distance)

By

Normally around this time of year we’d be heading to end of school picnics and field day. Last year we had a neighborhood potluck cookout with all the kids from our bus stop to celebrate the end of school. This year things are quite different. We have only seen our bus stop neighbors waving from the sidewalk or bike riding in the local church parking lot. The moms got together and brainstormed a way we could have a field day while following all of the social distancing and touch-free guidelines. (Two are doctors, so we had a good planning team!) We came up with a rotating backyard field day. One station per yard, BYO everything, touch free, adults wear masks, no food. Despite all the restrictions, it was so fun!

The boys wore their new matching swimming costumes in case they got a little wet. The rash guards are from Amazon and the striped bottoms are GAP! Both UPF 50.

Be still my heart!

Birch also now has a pair of Natives for summer. They are great!

Field day stations included:

  • Freeze dance
  • Water balloon toss (with sibling or parent – not other kids)
  • Obstacle course (our house!)
  • Water bucket fill challenge (BYO cup per child, no sharing)
  • Sack race (each child had their own sack)
  • Ping pong ball on the spoon carry (one labeled ball and spoon per child)

Here’s the balance beam portion of our course. There were also bases to run, cones to weave through, a trampoline to bounce off, and hurdles to jump over.

The kids had a great time, and the parents did too!

While we would have loved to share a big pot luck meal, that was obviously not an option, so we went to our respective houses and had separate cookouts while the kids yelled across the yards! Our fam had burgers on the grill and kale salad. Plus special ice cream treats!

Here’s to hoping next year’s field day will be back on school grounds.

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
