The Doctor

Lucas had his first "sick" visit to the doctor today. Sigh. I was so hoping that my efforts to shield him from germs would keep us out of there; however, today I had no choice but to call in for an appointment. About a week ago, Lucas developed a rash in his um... diaper area. I called the pediatric nurse and together we decided that it must be a reaction to an antibiotic I had just begun. A week of treatement later and the rash is still raging. So I begrudgingly made the call. Please understand, I am all for going to the doctor. In fact, I absolutely love our doctor and always look forward to our well-child checks. And I'm quite comfortable with the idea of taking Lucas in at the slightest sniffle. I just had hoped I wouldn't have a reason to for a very long time. Anyway, a quick look and the doctor determined the rash to be excema. Ugghh... My fingers are crossed that this is an isolated event and not the beginning of a long and tedious journey of sensitive skin. Lucas was a little trooper and cooed the whole time. I must admit, my heart was warmed when the doctor said Lucas was the cutest baby in the world and that he would like to borrow him sometime. I smiled and politely said no.

Oh, poor guy. Life stops, it seems, when the little one is sick. I hope it clears up soon. :)

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 ...
