Still Waiting.....

I'm 39 weeks today! I've stopped working (praise God!) and now I am practicing being a stay at home mom. I spent yesterday running errands, spending quality time with a dear friend, and cleaning like crazy. It felt great to be busy. Exhausting, but great. Kind of took my mind off of "waiting." Well, not really. It's hard to escape the feelings of anticipation and eagerness when I have a 24/7 reminder.

Today has been the opposite of yesterday. I slept beautifully last night, which any woman who has ever been 9 months pregnant knows that a good night's rest can only be equated with an act of God. I've spent most of my day reading. I'm deeply engrossed in a christian fiction series by Karen Kingsbury and Gary Smalley. It's my mom's fault. She's the one who told me I just had to read these books. And boy was she right.

Tonight is Home Group and I am thrilled with the thought of being with friends. Especially such great friends. Such a beautiful reminder of a way that God has so richly blessed us.

I'm happy to say that my bags are packed (have been for a while), laundry is almost caught up, and the house is actually clean (I'm not very good with keeping a tidy house). So, little baby, the stage is set and we are all ready for your big entrance.........

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 ...
