My Day

I love the way Lucas can find items to play with all over our house. Never mind the pile of toys in the den or nursery, Lucas is busy opening cabinet doors and pulling out objects that interest him. I sometimes wonder what is behind the choices he makes. For example, why did he just pull a plastic pitcher out when it was stacked beside shiney baking sheets? I love the way he is constantly jabbering. Sometimes really loud and other times to himself, Lucas always has a conversation going on. I've been so torn lately realizing that he is no longer a "baby", but fast becoming a toddler and my emtions are trying hard to catch up with that reality. At our one year check up last week, Dr. Treash kept reminding me that we need to stop thinking of him as a baby and essentially stop treating him that way. We are especially guilty of doing just that in the way we hold Lucas's sippy cup for him. I would like to say that Lucas simply has a hard time getting the milk out and that's why he won't hold the cup himself, but truthfully he has learned that he can get away with taking the easy road. (And we taught him that - oops!) I often feel that weight of the responsiblity of being a stay at home mom. Gotta run....I have a boy at my knees anxious for some Mommy attention.

Does anyone have a magic pill to cure whining??

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 ...
