The night is good....watching an Erin McCarley video with my hubs, just got off the treadmill (walked 50 minutes, burned 525 calories and did 125 crunches), had a wonderful evening with dear friends and their precious kids.
My friend invited us over for dinner and I knew she was serving lasagna. I was really concerned about not hurting her feelings but I knew if I ate the lasagna I had no way of counting my points and I'd go over. So, I brought a Smart Ones Baked Ziti (still Italian so I could at least fit in and not make a big deal about it) and pulled her aside to tell her about my plan and that I didn't want to be rude by eating something different. She was totally supportive and I was able to stick to my points. Yay!
I will be SO relieved when the easter candy in our home goes away! It's so tempting. I typically don't buy lots of candy or junk because I don't trust myself around it. We had our last post-Easter egg hunt tonight and Brit came home with a basket full of chocolates. For all my chocolate loving friends, come on over! :)

"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson
About Me
- Brooke
- Hi there, Let me tell you a little bit about this FRUGALadee. My sweet husband and I have been married for 9 years and have two amazing little ones - ages 4 and 2. We are fostering our 2 year old little boy in hopes of adopting. It's a long process but I'm trusting God as we wait. By day, I work as an Office Manager at a counseling organization and the rest of the time I manage our home. In my spare time (ha!), I'm a professional organizer. I am learning to live in the moments (instead of the past or worrying about the future) and revel in God's unexpected blessings TODAY! While I don't reuse paper plates or line dry our clothes, we're doing what's needed and best in this season of our lives. I'm always looking for new creative ways to save...time & money.

Great job sticking to your plan. I don't think I could do what you did...although that three cheese ziti is a fave in our house! Even Alana likes it! Keep it up!
Good job planning ahead! Awesome!
