Enjoying my morning

So I'm giving up my morning at the gym just so I can catch up on the blog! Because I'm just so dedicated! HA! - actually I'm enjoying some quiet in the house as Matt and Lucas are at the Y and Ava is napping. I know I could be working up a sweat right now, burning some calories that need to go, but I'm rather enjoying this precious time. Oh the sacrifices we make as moms......

I woke up at 3:30 this morning to "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" coming from Lucas's room. I stumbled out of bed expecting to hear a request to find Frog, his beloved orange, scraggley, friend or to provide comfort after a nightmare. Instead, my bright eyed, bead headed boy said rather cheerfully, "I need to go tee-tee!" Rather surprised at this request, I followed L down the hall and watched him through almost closed eyes, go teetee with a huge grin on his face. As if waking up Mommy in the middle of the night was a reason to be praised. Once the task was complete, Lucas asked from M&Ms, (I said no), than pranced back to bed. Lucas pranced, I tried to not run into any walls.

So does this mean Lucas is ready to start sleeping in underwear? I'm kind of dreading this transition because I don't like changing sheets - especially in the middle of the night.

I had lunch with a friend this week at Chick-fil-a. While our boys played and our girls napped in their carriers, Molly told me all about her routine at home and how she keeps her toddler occupied while taking care of her baby. Considering that this issue is very real for me, I was quite interested. You can read all about it on her blog.

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 ...
