It's raining, it's pouring...

It may be 2:00 already and I'm still in my pjs, but I have to say it's been a good day so far! We woke up to rain outside, so with the exception to a mad dash to the mailbox, we haven't ventured out side of the house. Instead, Lucas got to work on his transferring skills by scooping rice, grits, and popcorn kernels into a bowl. Then I got to work on my cleaning skills after he was done. :) Ava is carrying along my love of sleep and slept for 11 hours straight last night! After she finished her breakfast, Lucas and I sang silly songs to her and taught her the moves to the Hokey Pokey!

Ava went to her two month check-up yesterday. We are still battling her weight issues (she's 9 pounds 1 ounce) only now we think she has an allergy to cow's milk. So, I'm giving up dairy with the hopes of seeing her put on some weight. Actually, I'm hoping that I can transfer the last of my baby weight to her! Once I realized that dairy is in almost everything, I'm now trying to figure out exactly what I can eat and how soon I'm going to fit into my skinny jeans. Please pray with us that Ava will start to gain weight this week. Thanks! And if you have any suggestions for yummy dairy free foods, please pass them along.

Well I'm going to catch a much needed nap. Hey, I am still in my pjs after all!

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 ...
