My Food Subscription Addiction

I've come to realize I have a new addiction to these food subscription services.  I mean, seriously...fresh food delivered right to your door?  No trip to the grocery store navigating the aisles and maneuvering your cart past stalled shoppers?  What the hell is not to LOVE about that?!?!?


I've tried several, but one has become a constant for our family...ButcherBox.  We'll always need meat...RIGHT???  I've been ordering for that past three months.  It all started with an offer for $10 off AND a free pack of bacon.  Let me just tell y'all that was the best damn bacon I've ever eaten.  EVER!  Our first box was chicken and beef (only because my husband was on a eating plan that forbade pork.  Those filthy animals...and I'm not talking about the pigs here).  He then gave me his blessing to order a box with pork for me and our pork loving kids.


Ultimately I decided to stick with the chicken and beef for now.  The steaks and thin sliced steak have been a huge hit.  My kids are usually asking for seconds before I've even finished my plate.  I love how they have the option to double your box.  It ain't easy feeding a party of five!  The price was initially a hard pill to swallow for my husband...but he quickly started signing a different tune.  It really is comparable to what we'd pay at our favorite meat spots.  Did I mention it's grass-fed beef and organic chicken?  Ummm...hells ya!

The way I see it is A) Momma doesn't have to fight at the store.  B) The fam is fed and it's healthy.  C) Everyone is happy.  That spells W-I-N-N-E-R to me!  I wouldn't be a friend if I didn't all you to be a winner too.  Here's a link for $10 off your first order AND that free bacon!!!  You'll thank me later.

Flooring & Bathroom Selections

Ever taken a trip to the Lowes tile department?  Did you feel like the walls were closing in around you?  I often wonder how many divorces take place because of fights that broke out on those aisles.  It was time for us to make our flooring selections and since I'm keeping it 100% real with y'all, I was scared shitless!!!  We had a conservative figure of $10K in mind.  Did I say conservative??? We arrived at our flooring appointment a little early (only about 10 minutes because we're very punctual people).  I feel like my time is precious and others' time is equally important so we avoid being late at all costs.  Our flooring rep (FR) didn't seem very excited to see us.  She greeted us with pleasantries that seemed a bit...er...umm...forced.  I could see steam coming from hubby's ears so I continued to smile and remain as upbeat  as possible.  Apparently this office was just taken over by her company and the previous company still...

We GOT IT!!!

After weeks of waiting, and biting our nails...like SERIOUSLY I have no nails left...we heard from our Loan Officer.  And the verdict is (drum roll, please)... We have the green light to move forward!  I could have screamed when I heard the news.  I was fully prepared to hear we couldn't do it, or we needed a bazillion other documents.  I've been working on this whole "positivity breeds positivity" kick lately.  That mindset really works.  She's sent the blue letter over to Ryan Homes telling them everything is ay-okay.  SQEEEEEEEE! So now we wait for them to break ground, which should be sometime next week.  It was originally planned for this Friday but that's ok.  I'm just overjoyed that we can move forward.  If all goes well, we should be in our new home before Thanksgiving! Sorry for the short post, but that's all I got.  I'll leave you with a picture of our model home, which is pretty much what our home will look like. ...

Sold...Wait, What?

We stopped by to meet with our Sales Representative (SR) on Sunday, July 26th.  We totally only planned to discuss a few options we wanted to change and sign a contingency contract.  We had our eyes on two lots, mostly flat lots with the walk-out basement option.  We were really hoping for a flat lot because we're entertaining the idea of building a pool in the future.  Before I could process what was happening we were signing a contract to secure our lot.  Oh shit!  What did we just do?  We don't even have an offer on our house yet.   Are we flippin' cray cray? Us on our lot making it official. Our SR was amazing and discussed our concerns and several possible situations with us.  I left feeling a little more confident about our decision.  To say I love our lot is an understatement.  We'll only have a neighbor on one side.  SWEET!!!  It's directly in front of the cul-de-sac that my friend lives on.  I'll have p...
