A rainy day

We woke up to a cold, rainy, fall morning today. The perfect day to curl up with a cup of hot tea and a new novel. However, I have this urge to get out of the house, brave the rain, and go to Wal-mart! No, my love for Wal-mart has not grown out of control. Typically I only venture to wally-world when forced. But today I want to work on poster board signs for my yardsale coming up this weekend. And for that project, I need some poster boards. Perferably ones in bright, neon colors as to attract as much attention as possible.

We have only gotten to use Lucas's sandbox a couple times due to the changing weather, but yes, he does love it. Hopefully some sunshine will head our way soon, so we can get back outside and enjoy this new season. Last night, we went to Kmart in search of a Halloween costume for L. Curious George was by far my favorite costume, but we couldn't justify spending $18 on an outfit that would be worn for only a couple hours. We did, however, enjoy using our coupon at Marble Slab for a buy one get one free ice cream cone. Yum!

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 ...
