Yard Sales

I can't help but laugh as it is 11:30 p.m.; we are literally up to our elbows in yard sale preparations and I am taking the time to write a blog entry. And what, it's been at least a month since my last entry? We've been putting this day off for a year now, dreading the long hours of tedious preparation and the even longer hours of yard sale day. But the time has finally come to clear the junk out of the house, put price tags on each piece, and sell it to some unfortunate person who wishes to clutter up their home! (Actually we do have quite a lot of nice and interesting items to sell, but at this point in the evening, it all looks like junk to me!)

In our pile of items to sell are ceiling speakers, baby clothes, adult clothes, a fridge, a couch, ceiling fans, and plenty of household items. I am desperately hoping that our efforts will not go in vain as the money made tomorrow will go towards our "Christmas/We really want to go skiing in Colorado this winter" fund. Just in case things don't go well tomorrow and we make only $20, I will be adding a link to our PayPal account for any donations and contributions.

Please come buy our stuff.

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 ...
