$30.00 Kroger Gift Card Giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

I would like to introduce everyone to the great organization called Feeding America. They are the nation's leading domestic charitable hunger-relief organization. They provide assistance to more than 25 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States. Yes the United States. It all stays right here at home.

The Biggest Loser, The Kroger Co. Family Stores, General Mills, and a few other key sponsors have partnered up to donate up to $1,080,000 to Feeding America this year. This is your chance to lose weight and feed your community all at the same time. You can go to The Pound for Pound Challenge and pledge to loose weight. For every pound you pledge to loose, the Pound For Pound Challenge will donate 14¢ to Feeding America - enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a local food bank.

I made my pledge to loose 15 pounds. This is just the motivation I needed to loose weight. I have been wanting to loose some for some time now, but just didn't have the "want", if you know what I mean. I took a trip over the weekend to Kroger and purchased some healthy food to start me off.

I am now on the right track to loose my wight and just hope I don't fall off the wagon too many times. ;) I have a feeling I may need to keep blogging about my progress just so that I keep doing it. I need to be accountable to someone right? Why not all of you!

Now for the Giveaway!

Lesson Learned?

You think I would have learned my lesson by now! I have froze sour cream a number of times, as well as a few other things.

But today I froze almost half a dozen eggs and a squash. Did I push them to the back of the top shelf though? That is the question. I am assuming I did it. Will I learn my lesson now? only time will tell.

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday!!!

Thankful Thursday

Today on thankful Thursday I want to share how thankful I am for Hubby's show going so great last night.

Mater of fact it was so great they asked him to do an extra show last night and booked him for two more shows this month!

As far as my baby sitter problem. Well, my neighbor was kind enough to watch him and let him play with her little boy until my Dad got off of work. Then when we found out Hubby was going to do a second show, my Mother-In-Law was kind enough to go after the first show and take him home with her. So, he was shuffled in between 3 different people and now I have to go get in today from my Mother-In-Law's house. It all worked out even though it was a little crazy. I did leave it all in God's hands by the way. He always knows the best way!

Here is a picture of Hubby playing last night.

If you would like to join us this month for Thankful Thursdays, you can link up over at Grace Alone with Iris.

The Mrs.'s Garden!

I am now the proud owner of a garden! Not just any garden, but the Mrs.'s Garden! I did all the work. (Because I wanted to! I know sometimes I look back on things and think I'm a little off too!) If you remember a post I did a while back, Hubby gave me a garden for our anniversary. He surprised me with a friend of his coming with his tractor to turn me up a "spot".

Since then I have proudly done all the work. I tilled it up about 5 times, I made the rows, and I planted all the seeds and sprouts that I already started in cups and pots. I did it all by myself with a little "help" from Will. I fill like I just completed a major milestone in my life. I'm now hoping and praying that it does good. Hubby said that it's the first year and a little late at that, so it may not do the best this year. But look out next year. I will be ready!

Here is a picture of the garden at about 1:00 pm yesterday. I only made enough rows for what I wanted to plant that day. It took me 30 minutes a row, but they look good.

This is a picture of Will "helping" me plant! He is so cute in his little fireman boots he wears anytime we are in the yard.

Look out when it's time to plant my carrots, pumpkins, and other fall veggies!

You Can Really See It!!!

Today is going to be a better day! It already started a little better. The dog let me sleep until 8:15 this morning. Then she started to destroy Will's toys. She found a little cheep tractor he left out and.........well, it's not in too good a shape now. She is punished and knows it too!

To sleep till 8:15 was such a good thing. I don't sleep very well and that extra two hours was just what I needed. Today I'm going to work in the garden! (giggles) I can't wait. Today is also the day I go sign Will up for the summer reading program at the library. This will be his second year doing the summer reading program and he LOVES it!!! He has decided the the library in our town is "His" library. The library in the next town that I grew up in is "Mommy's" library. (Mommy's library doesn't have a computer set up for children his age!) So, we will be going to his library sometime today.

Yesterday he did a little art work for my ice box. This is what I got!

Can you tell what it is? I saw the tree and flower right away. I also saw the elephant after he told me what it was. As for the thing on the top, he said it's a road that has a train track on it and lots of cars. Ok? If that's what it is then that's what it is! I'm so proud his art is starting to really resemble things.

On a sadder note, We found out yesterday that our baby sitter for Wednesday (when Hubby plays his first gig) can't watch him. So, I'm stuck with a problem. It looks like Mommy will miss Daddy's first ever show:( I am totally bummed about this!!! But, there is nothing I can do. My baby can't stay all alone and I don't want to leave him with someone he doesn't know. All will work out though. I have put it all in God's hands. Now just to remember to leave it there!!! That's the hard part!
