Love You

Naturally, on a day when I'm already feeling a little sappy because my baby is growing up so quickly, Lucas picks "Love You Forever" for us to read before nap time!


The little stinker knows it makes me cry every time! I think he picks it on purpose! I just can't read the part about the Mama dying and the son rocking her and then his baby without choking up. It's just too much for my emotions.

Although, I have to say, I think that Mama was a little too attached. You don't drive over to your grown son's house in the middle of the night to rock him in his sleep. That's a little weird.

I pretty sure his wife wasn't too thrilled.

i have to say, this book kills me every time i read it too. i think it's even worse because a few years ago two of my friends (19 at the time) died in a car accident, and this book was in one of their caskets. i read it because it reminds me of the love of family, but i cry every time because the Lord doesn't guarantee us the next moment of our life!

so, i understand your tears! (but it is a great book, isn't it?)

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 ...
