the joys of mommy-hood

I think that I could spend hours just watching my belly. In fact, I'm supposed to be napping right now, but instead I'm sitting in bed eyes glued to my mid-section. You see, our Big Boy is awake right now and apparently having a very good time in mommy's belly. It must be play time. About 30 minutes ago, he had the hiccups. For a while now, I've felt the steady, thumping of his hiccups, but today I was able to see them! That's right. I can now see every toss and turn, every roll and kick, our little one makes. It all started this past Sunday. I was lounging in my beach chair at Myrtle, when all of a sudden my belly began to roll. I looked down as it began to change with each movement of the baby. I just sat there in awe. I have felt him inside of me for quite some time now, but to be able to see it with my own eyes was just amazing. I think I stared for 20 minutes, before running off to find Matt so he could see the tiny miracle.

That same day my feet decided to blow-up and take on a personality all their own. 5 days later, I'm coming to terms with the fact that I will be wearing flip-flops for the next 10 weeks and I won't be seeing my ankles any time soon. I think tonight Matt and I are going to make cool indentions on my feet to see how long they will stay. I had one imprint stay today for 10 minutes! Now that's a lot of fluid! At the request of my dear friend Kathryn, yes I will be posting pictures of my "fat lady" feet.

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 ...
