I'm ready for a nap!

It's been an exhausting couple of days. We drove the 4 1/2 hour drive to Birmingham on Monday - with the two kids it took us a little over 6 hours. We went straight to the hospital where family was gathered. Lucas had a blast playing with his cousin Alyssa. They only get to see each other every couple of months, but they love each other so much. Amy is doing well recovering from the labor and delivery. David weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces! A great size!

We got in late last night around 10:00. It took us 7 hours to get home. (Wow, kids really add to the travel time.) It was a rough ride - Lucas didn't sleep and Ava got tired of being in the car seat (who can blame her). I rode the last leg of the trip between the kids in the back of the tundra. At one point, I was holding hands with both of them! It was so sweet, I almost forgot how cranky and tired I felt!

David is scheduled for a heart cath some time today. I haven't heard yet from anyone to find out how it went. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for praying!

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 ...
