Strawberries + cheese + chocolate

Last night hubby and I ate a home cooked dinner with some new church friends.  I brought dessert and tried out a new recipe:  strawberry goat cheese brownies. 

They were delicious (and the strawberries made them "healthy.")

50%? Not too shabby.

Awhile back I wrote about my love of the show  Extreme Couponing.  While I will never achieve the ranks of the great ones, I was inspired to try couponing.  A couple of days ago we visited our local supermarket and I had an "extreme moment."  We purchased 5 Lean Cuisine entrees (originally 3.19 each, now on sale for 2.00 each), used my coupon, (buy 4 Lean Cuisines and save $2.25) and then received a box of ice cream for FREE (store deal.)  (Oh yeah, we also bought some fish.  Yum.)

50% savings!  Too extreme.

Q: How does your garden grow?

A:  Slowly.

A couple of days ago, I introduced  you to Tom.  Now *drum roll please* I introduce you to Tom 2.

Tom 1 now has a tiny friend, Tom 2!

I read somewhere that tomatoes take weeks to ripen on the vine.  *sigh*   According to Saint Augustine, "Patience is the companion of wisdom."  So hopefully this patio gardening process will grow some tomatoes for me and some patience and wisdom in me. 

6 bucks

Whenever hubby and I visit the thrift store, we always scope out the baby clothing section.  It's always filled to the brim with rows and rows of baby clothes.  Some items are a bit ratty, but many are in quite good condition!  So, even though baby is only 15 inches right now (and still in my belly), we're picking up some pieces that he'll fit into (one day).  Here are four items that what we scored for only $6.00!

So tiny and cute (I wonder if Charlie could fit in one?)

I think Hubby owns a similar pair of pants

A faux shearling coat with paws?  Too cute to resist.

Baby, we can't wait to meet (and dress) you!
