Thursday

So Lucas and I had some quality time today over a couple scoops of ice cream at the Koo Koo Cafe. Here's what I found out:

Lucas's best friend is his new stuffed kitty-kat which he has affectionately named "Meow-Meow".
His favorite color is orange, favorite ice cream is "the green one" - mint chocolate chip. He thinks he is three and pronounces his name "Gu-cas".

This morning we all went to see "Dr. Tim" where we heard the baby's heartbeat and I got checked, rather uncomfortably, for pre-term labor. Good reports all around. Baby girl appears to be making her presence known in my lower half, explaining the pressure and pain I've been feeling. Hopefully she'll be moving up soon.

It's hard for me to believe that I'm 6 months pregnant now. There are days when I feel so close to Baby Girl and other days I forget that I'm pregnant. Okay, so I can't fully forget due to the growing bulge that makes bending over, hugging my hubby and painting my toe nails next to impossible. I'm excited and a little nervous about the changes that lie ahead for us.

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 ...
