Day In The Life: Summer 2020

By

Summer Fun 2020 is well underway! Here’s a day in the life for ya : )

5:45 am

Thomas has trained me to LOVE morning time. As much as I want to be a morning exerciser, I really have to ease into my day. Nothing wakes me up better than coffee and my laptop, which I leave on my nightstand each night. I love getting some emails answered, reading the Skimm, and getting organized for my day without leaving my bed.

7:00 am

The boys are awake and I’m up and at em! We all have oatmeal today. Peanut butter and banana smoothies are another very common breakfast.

9am

After cleaning up breakfast, watching some Peppa Pig, and getting Birch dressed, we head outside. Mazen has a playdate! (We have chosen to have a few friends over one at a time to play outside). The boys set the slip n slide up early and have a blast all morning.

Birch and I play in the teepee and walk around the yard and alley. We study leaves!

10am

The big boys are still playing hard, so B and I go inside for a snack. I set up B in the basement with his train set and get in a 30 minute weight workout around him. Thanks to Sydney Cummings on You Tube for coaching me!

11am

We say goodbye to Mazen’s friend and head inside for lunch. Birch has lunch around 11:20 most days and before I get him settled for nap at noon. I used to wait to eat my own lunch after he was asleep, but I decided that wasn’t a good use of time, so now we all just have an early lunch in the 11s. The boys also LOVE quesadillas, as do I. Birch’s plate on the top and M’s on the bottom.

I have a mix of leftovers – chicken, sweet potatoes, rice, broccoli, hummus and a delicious verde sauce from Flavor. This is why I don’t show you everything I eat anymore – I don’t have time to make it look nice on a plate! #momlife

12pm

Birch goes down for night night. We read stories before he gets snugged into his sleep sack. Mazen is still working on lunch and probably has turned on the TV while I’m gone.

12:15p

Mazen and I have quiet time. I let him play some video games so I can work. It’s summertime so I am OK with this during nap.

1pm

I go into the playroom to the printer and find a HUGE camel cricket. (Google that if you haven’t heard of them.) Mazen helps me kill it with a lightsaber – lol. Trust me, it’s back there.

2:15pm

Birch is awake! He has a snack (yogurt and Cheerios) and we play around for a bit!

3:30p

Nona comes over!! We hang out on the porch, read some books, and sip seltzers.

5:30p

Dinnertime! We’ve been eating on the early side. Thomas and I have these awesome shrimp bowls by Flavor here in town with kale, rice, beans, chips, guac, and salsa verde.

6:30pm

Bath time for the boys.

7:00pm

Stories and a quick rock for Birch.

7:30pm

Kindles and a few chats with Mazey.

8pm

Tidy up and relax on the couch with T for a few!

8:30pm

I take a great shower and end the day with my nighttime skincare routine : )

9pm

Reading in bed until my kindle falls on my face!

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
