Our day

Wow, what a great day! It's as if the sadness has lifted and the Lord is restoring my joy. Thanks for all of the prayers. Ava is doing great on her new diet of soy formula and my body is very slowly, and rather painfully, realizing that it needs to stop producing milk. We spent most of the day around the house, catching up on laundry and watching Franklin on Noggin. I really like Franklin; he's a pretty cool, laid-back little turtle.

Ava and I spent some time exploring Hobby Lobby admiring the home decor. Since we've moved into our new home, I haven't gotten around the decorating it. (I've been a little preoccupied!) It's twice the size of our first house, so that means bigger walls to cover and more accessories to buy. I didn't buy anything today - just window shopped as my mom likes to say.

Matt and Lucas carved our pumpkin tonight. Speaking of which, I just reminded Matt to go blow out the candles before it burned down. Ava joined in the fun with her pumpkin hat compliments of Aunt Melanie.

Like I said, it's been a great day. A new season is upon our family, and I don't mean the weather.

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 ...
