12th (Anniversary) on the 12th

By

Mal and I celebrated 12 years of marriage yesterday. It was our 12th anniversary on July 12th aka our golden anniversary, right? 🙂 It was a fairly low-key celebration, but still really nice. Plus, now we can add “celebrate an anniversary during a pandemic” to our relationship!

Mal and Quinn slept in super late, but I was up and at ’em making a special breakfast. We had croissants (from Trader Joe’s), bacon (obviously, Niman Ranch), eggs and toast (for Mal), cherries (for Quinn), and I had a crepe with chocolate and banana inside. Yummmmm!

After breakfast, we took Murphy for a family walk and then packed up for an afternoon at Funny Farm. The weather forecast said it was going to be 90 degrees (!!) that afternoon, so  swimming in the pool was the way to go!

We packed a lunch and snacks to eat at the pool. We stay until the early afternoon and then headed home for part 2 of our anniversary celebration.

When we got home, it was time for presents. Mal’s wrapping job = nearly 17 years together! Haha! Ok, mine wasn’t much better… Amazon package inside a gift bag! But, anyways… I got Mal a new set of resistance bands (he actually picked them out) and he bought me a super cute tie dye pajama set! 🙂

For dinner, we picked up take-out from a new restaurant in the area called Cheever Tavern. A bunch of our friends recommended it, so we decided to give it a try and we were pleasantly surprised. Everything was really tasty, especially for take-out. I definitely think Cheever Tavern will become part of our regular rotation!

All in all, Mal and I had a great time celebrating #12!

And just so we don’t forget… “It’s true. You can eat beans in the summer and the winter.”

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
