12 Weeks

I know I say this all of the time, but what a week! I'm exhausted! (Yes, I know it's only Thursday, but I have to vent!) We reached and passed the 12 week mark yesterday. By the way, I'm now counting everything based about the gestational age of the baby determined by two ultrasounds. I wanted to clarify because it can get confusing! My morning sickness took a hiatus over the weekend falsely leading to me dream that it was over. No such luck. But I can't complain, too much. I just feel blessed to have made it this far without any complications.

Matt and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day. We agreed to simply buy each other cards and enjoy a night out together. But he broke the rules. And you had better believe that I didn't complain! Matt bought me the "Ultra Massaging Foot Spa"!! Complete with pedicure attachments and jets! Way to go Mattie! He said that he knew how tired I always feel after a day on my feet, so he thought I needed to be pampared a bit. What a good hubby! We went to the movies to see "Hitch" which is hilarious, by the way! And then to dinner at Doni's Under the Trees. Neither one of us had been to Doni's since the first time I met his parents. And we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Tonight is our Financial Peace class. Good stuff. Just one more day left of work and then freedom!! Okay, not really. But I can dream. :)

love,
Sara

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
