My best friend and amazing cake baker/blogger Stacey paid us a visit this week. I knew it was her, before she even made it our of her car, as Dylan spotted her car while looking out the front door, and started screaming “STACEY STACEY STACEY!!!!!!” I had guessed that she probably brought along a cake too, because Dylan started screaming “STACEY CAKES!!!!” really loudly.
Oh yum! Smiley Chocolate Cake!!!
Dylan says: Stacey spoils us rotten!
Thanks again to Stacey for the tasty cake!
Guess what I forgot? On July 31st it was my 4th Blogging Anniversary…
When I started Nicostuff, it was a suggestion from my hubby. I also thought it would be a good way to chronicle my daily adventures as a new Mom living in a new town, and adjusting to my new surroundings. Fast forward to four years later, and Nicostuff has evolved into being a blog about crafts, kitchen adventures, and my attempt at keeping up with a house full of boys. Who knows what the next four years will bring…
Thanks for all of your support and kind words, and your friendships too.

I am happy to report that thanks to an awesome month of no driving days in July, I’ve hit my goal for the year. I had 7 no driving days in July and that gives me 35 no driving days all together. I was hoping to have an entire month without driving, and I’m really proud of achieving this goal.
August is going to be different, school is starting, and I’ll be driving Thade to and from school everyday. I’ll still try my best to keep the car at home as much as I can.
Loki’s got the Monday grumpies too…
I’ve got a migraine today, a really evil-nausea inducing head-splitting migraine, and a bad case of the grumpies… The hot weather is back, we seem to have new neighbors across the street that can’t seem to park in front of their house and take my spot instead, and I got crappy mail today. Yeah, it is going to be one of those days all day, and I’m sure Nico’s grumpy list is going to keep growing as the day goes on.
Let me know what is making you grumpy today.
July has come and gone, and I’ve got my coupon savings totaled for the month. I’m pretty happy about these savings too. In the month of July I saved $24.15 by using coupons, and that brings my year to date total up to $86.31! Not too bad. Let’s see how August goes, I’ve got to stock up on a lot of groceries and school lunch supplies this month. Bring on the savings.
