Decorating the Christmas Tree


Sunday night we (finally) put up our Christmas tree. I say finally because it seems like everyone except us decorated way early this year. What's up with that? I'm all about enjoying this amazing season, but sometimes it's just too early. We first had to get all of our decorations out of the attic of our old house before we could decorate our new one. (No, we haven't sold our house yet - feel free to pray about that!) We decided to put the tree in the playroom simply because of the space. Even though we doubled our living space in this house, we somehow managed to fill most of it up, imagine that. Lucas got to work right away; he knew exactly what to do.


I grabbed the camera while Matt and Lucas went to work hanging ornaments. I quickly realized that Lucas was taking his job very seriously.


He hung about 10 ornaments on that particular branch! Of course we can't go back and rearrange them; our "ocd" child will notice if the ornaments are in new places. Seriously, this kid is so particular. (Is this a phase or a hint of what's to come?)


Our chubby-cheeked little elf, miss Ava, was mesmorized by the lights!

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 ...
