"It's raining snow!"

I'm sure Lucas doesn't remember playing in the snow last year, but he sure is excited about it tonight! After dinner Matt ran out to pick up some movies and called to say that it was snowing. I bundled Lucas up and we went outside to dance in the flurries. It didn't seem like much, so I was quite surprised when I looked out the window 20 minutes later to see accumulation on our deck! And now an inch and a half of beautiful, glorious snow has softened our world and I'm loving it! Tears came to my eyes as I twirled in the flurries tonight breathing in the crisp air. Something inside of me is moved when unexpected weather settles upon us; a sudden summer storm, a quick spring rain, and a gentle winter snow. It almost feels poetic to me.

So tomorrow, I am anticipating a joyful, play-filled, family snow day! It feels like Christmas!

So I tried not to be jealous when I got your message last night about the snow! :-) We had sleet yesterday, and that was exciting. Just not the same as snow. Hope you're having fun playing in it today!! Love you!!

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 ...
