My baby


Our girl is sick, but you can't tell it by the sweet smile on her face today. She's such a trooper; in between blowing snot bubbles and getting her temperature taken, Ava gave us a few grins. (Thanks, Mimi, for these great pictures and for watching our girl today so we could go to church.)


I have to be honest; I've been kind of frustrated the past couple days. My dear daughter has only wanted to nap in my arms while the dishes are piling up and I'm getting more and more behind in my christmas shopping. I don't want to sound like a calloused mom; the truth is, I love that I get to hold her so much and that she finds such comfort in my arms. I just wish I had a maid and personal shopper until she gets over this cold. I guess it's the Mary/Martha principle; right now I'm focusing on what's important (Ava) and not on my to-do list.


Please pray for Ava's cousin David. He's having open heart surgery tomorrow and he's only 3 weeks old. Pray for protection from infections and praying for healing, for we serve a God who heals!

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 ...
