Busy as a Bee

     I know, I know. It's been a while, but honestly, I have been so busy. Last week I had four cakes in on week. And this week I have two, and I've got to put up squash, and can some green beans. The duties of a house wife are never ever done it seems. ;)
    Why am I taking time to sit down and blog you ask? Well, I'm kind of at a stand still and can't do anything since the pipe under my kitchen sink is leaking. Yeah, I know, if it isn't one thing it's another. But I suppose I work best under pressure. ;)
    I pulled out a bread machine my mom gave me and made the best loaf of bread ever. No more store bought bread for my family. We've also cut some cost by making our own laundry soap. And our garden is producing away. So we won't need store bought veggies for a while.
    I've also been dieting (well, eating healthier.) I started by cutting out caffeine, huge step for me because I love my coffee&& Dr. Pepper!! But I prayed and asked God to take the desire for it from my body, and he did, and I've been caffeine sober (you know it's funny) for a little over 3 months!! I lost 6 pounds just from cutting caffeine out. Then I started cutting back, and trying to cut down my carb and sugar intake. From there I lost 6 more pounds. And I started doing Zumba on the Wii this week, and guess what, we're down two more pounds this week!!  I am determined.
    I seen this on a friends facebook, and I loved it!!
