Sunny Saturdays

So, earlier this week I tried to post a blog which I titled "Tina". I did not realize, however, that my entry did not post. Sorry for the confusion Kat. Here's the story. Tina is a 3 year old in my class. She was adopted from Russia just this past August. I haven't made a big to-do over the baby yet with my kids at school because having a baby in my tummy is a pretty challenging concept for toddlers. So, the other day Tina completely surprised me when she pointed to my belly and said "baby". I was shocked. How in the world did she know?? Then later that afternoon, her Papa came to pick her up and guess what she did?! That's right, she patted her belly, pointed to me, and said "baby". Her dad was quite confused because apparently he didn't realize that I'm expecting. I know it's a silly story, but it was just so sweet to me because she figured out that my little belly is a baby. Kids are just so great.

I think I'm on the brink of the "nesting phase". I'm ready to start getting our house in order in preparation for the baby. I went to a workshop today for Creative Memories. A friend of mine, Kim, is a consultant, so she gave me some great ideas on a baby book. I've set a new goal to get our wedding and honeymoon snapshots in an album before the baby comes! Can you believe that we've been married for 20 months and our pictures are still in my closet! I'm such a slacker! I think today's workshop will be the jump start that I need.

I went dress shopping today. Momma has informed me that I am required to get a new dress for Easter. Which is a pretty good suggestion considering I can't fit into any of the dresses I already own! I went to a maternity store - way over priced! And then I went to Belk's. They have an amazing dress selection -- just not in the maternity department. I decided to try on some "regular" dresses anyway, and that turned out to be a pretty funny experience. Things just don't fit like they used too! After lunch, I'm going to try looking again at Target. Keep your fingers crossed!

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 ...
