Catching Up

I'm home alone tonight, waiting for a Poppy Seed Chicken casserole to bake. Matt is going to be working late. In fact, he might not get in until 11pm. Bummer. My "bed time" is 10pm. Matt is busy using his carpentry skills for drum stands at work. They are hosting a big "drum event" next week and these stands have to be ready. You should see the one he has already crafted. It's beautiful. Very professional. So, I've decided to make dinner and take it to him. I figured if he can't come home for dinner, than I can bring dinner to him. Plus, I love any reason to make my Mom's Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole. It's one of my favorites.

Last night, Matt and I went to Greenville. Just a hop, skip and jump away, Greenville has several baby stores, including Babies R US, and USA Baby. Unfortunately, I wasn't the eager mom to be. No, tired feet and lack of sleep, made me a grumpy shopper. And Matt was such a trooper. We tried numerous travel systems. Practiced wheeling them around the store and collasping them. We definately want a Graco, but I can't decide between the Quattro or the MetroLite, or one other whose name I can't remember. I personally like all of the features of the Quattro, but it weighs 10 pounds more than the other two strollers. I can't help but think that those 10 pounds would weigh heavy on a tired little Mommy. Any opinions out there? What is your favorite stroller?

We experienced a "first" last night. For the first time in my pregnant state, we parked the car in the "for Expectant or New Moms Only" parking spot at Babies R Us. I felt so special!

By the way, I also need some opinions on cribs. Stationary versus pull down side? Pros and Cons.

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 ...
