You know there comes a scary point where condiments and beverages outweigh actual food in your house. I was alarmed a few days ago when I realized that our refrigerator had a piece of tumbleweed roll out of it due to its desert like status.
Exhibit A:
I mean there are a few leftovers towards the bottom, but the rest is just drinks and toppings. Makes it easy to clean the shelves.
Exhibit B:
Our cabinets weren’t exactly stacked full of food or if I did want something it usually required butter or milk to make it and I was out of luck due to Exhibit A.
MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm…do you see the cream cheese icing on the top shelf…too high for me to grab without a stool..but it is calling my name!
Exhibit C:
Our freezer looked no better….the most noteworthy object in the freezer was my stash of breast milk. Unless you are Chloe, this picture will do nothing to arouse your taste buds.
It was time to do what I least enjoy…grocery shopping. I actually don’t mind going, but with a baby that presents unique challenges, especially when it comes to bringing the bags of groceries into the house. We have 2 flights of stairs to traverse which is no fun with a car seat let alone multiple trips of grocery bags. I also get depressed at the bill at the grocery store, food, especially nutritious food is SO STINKING EXPENSIVE. I would love to buy more at the natural food section…but come on…being healthy is an expensive thing. It doesn’t even taste as good as the cheap fatty stuff! I can get 6 boxes of Mac and Cheese to every pound of red and yellow bell peppers…HMMMMMMM….that is a tough one!
Chloe got to meet another buddy last week. My former roommate and dear sweet friend, Sarah, took a little road trip down with her daughter, Maddie, to see us. She was a total ham. Janelle came back with Aiden. Here is the three stooges.
Here is grandparent corner… a Chloe picture.
I would do all my best just to escape from grocery shopping…the issue is that we need food!If I ask R to go…he would turn into being a green-eyed-monster…he doesn’t like either!
That looks like my fridge, except mine isn’t that clean.
Nice stash!
Looks like our house!
I’m always amazed at how much “food” we have that requires other stuff in order to be edible! 
My sister-in-law tipped me off on a way to store frozen breastmilk so that it’s easy to organize and doesn’t take up too much room: put a smallish tupperware/plastic rectangular container in the freezer and lay the bags flat in it to freeze; once they’re frozen, you can stand them up in an empty ice box (one of those tall rectangular ones) with the oldest milk at the front if you want or just keep them in the plastic container. This makes it SOOO easy for hubby, me, or babysitter to grab and thaw without rifling through to find the oldest one–it also clears up some space in the freezer, which is always a good thing.
Love the pictures of Chloe! She’s becoming so expressive! What a doll!
i love cream cheese icing.
and because that is the only thing i chose to comment on, that indicates that i am, in fact, fat.
Your fridge and freezer look just like mine! I told my husband that all the frozen breastmilk is taking up room that could be used for more ice cream.
Yummm - Nutella!!!
And her top curl is killing me - I love it!
Call me when you need to go grocery shopping. I’ll pick up whatevah you need and I delivah. There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not in krogahs or Wahl Maht!
I’d be truly embarassed to show pictures of the contents of my fridge, freezer and cupboards. You are a brave woman.
Ugh, it is tough and expensive - you are right. I would love to cook more organic things but holy cow! I’d have to go back to work do to that so I just settle for organic milk (no growth hormones) in my kraft mac and cheese!
Oh gosh no. That reminds me that I need to go grocery shopping. Badly. It is a struggle to get food made every night as I don’t have lots of stuff to throw together anymore lol I don’t mind shopping though. Even when I take all three. It is just to get the time to do so.
Grocery shopping is very expensive, especially when you wait until you have almost no food in the house to go. (See exhibit A and B). And I hate going!! Hate it. So, what do I do, I wait until we have almost no food and then go and spend way too much money restocking the house, then about 3-4 weeks later - I repeat the same process. Thankfully I don’t have to track groceries up two flights of stairs - but at least you will be getting a good workout so you can eat those 6 boxes of mac-n-cheese

OMG, your frig looks JUST like mine. I finally went grocery shopping for the first time in over a month on Saturday though…….
Isn’t it funny…it’s like we’re living parallel lives from across the globe. Our fridge has nothing except…wait, I’ll post a pic later on today.
I threw out all the ‘out-of-date’s in our fridge over New Years…let me tell you, she’s a bare, bare baby now
Chloe looks so healthy and happy. You must be the same
