We've been busy this summer having tons of fun! Grandma came to visit in June, and as you can see, she and Lucas had a wonderful time together! We always love for Grandma to come! Lucas spends as much time as he can playing outside. I love that about him. He is becoming more coordinated and athletic all of the time. He loves kicking a ball, no matter how big or small it is.
What a ham! We still haven't figured out where the blonde hair has come from. I truly expected for it to turn by now, but who knows, he may always be a blonde!

It was so much fun surprising Suzanne with a birthday party. I tried a new recipe that night for Dirt Cake and it was a hit! I got the recipe from a mom at the Montessori School and thought I would try it out. It sure doesn't look pretty, but the taste is off the hook!
Like I said, Lucas loves being outside! Matt and I like taking him to local parks so he can swing ("sing") and slide ("lide"). Lucas loves watching the ducks at the lake ("waa-er") so much that we have to be careful that he doesn't jump in!

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 ...
