July Overview



Once again, I am behind on posting on my blog. 

We just have been crazy busy again this month. We closed on an investment property and have been busy working there in the evenings. We are in full demolition and paint everything mode!




For some reason this month we have been playing a lot of board games in our free time. I think I might try and host a game night with friends soon. It's so much fun playing! 

I am sad to admit the hubby finally defeated me in a game of Scrabble... I couldn't believe it, but the world is right again and I have beat him every game since.


P.S. Don't you love my vintage Scrabble board I got forever ago from my Great Grandma? It's a turntable, so you can turn the board to face you each turn!


The Hubby and I went on an overnight date trip to a local hotel/casino for a little mini vacation. Oh I just love his funny faces!


Our local drive-in movie theatre closed a few years ago. Well they opened back up this summer! So we made a trip out there and watched The Planet of the Apes second movie. It was very good, but it is so hard to watch dark movies at the drive-in!


Our nephew is almost 4 months old. My Hubby coaches golf and my brother-in-law love to play, so naturally he will need his own beginner golf clubs. I just happened to get them for $3.99 and couldn't pass them up, so they will be waiting on him for his 1st Birthday! 


It's almost time for school to start again. I don't think the Hubby is looking forward to it, but I think it'll be good to get into routine again. However, I don't think the girls will be thrilled to have him gone all day again. They like having company home during the day!





Just look at those faces!

Until next time,

Kara

Ways to Save Money on Groceries

The Hubby and I have been together 8 years this month. We have been together since we were freshman in college.  The unique and fun thing about our relationship is that we have kind of grown up as adults together.  When we were in college we both were living year to year on what we earned from working in the summer months. That means we never could be extravagant with what we purchased for groceries. We learned pretty early how to budget our money to stretch it as far as we could.  Now that we both have worked full time for 5 years, times have changed, but I still love to save money. There is no better feeling than getting a great deal! Here are a few ways to save at the grocery store: Digital Coupons : These are so easy and help save big. I mainly grocery shop at Kroger. It is super easy to register your Shoppers Card to instantly download digital coupons to it. This is what I primarily do to save our family money. I try to combine the digital coupons with Kroger sale

Date Night Jar

The Hubby and I have been together 8 years. The one thing we have consistently argued over for those 8 years is the question, "What do you want to do?" I consider us to both be intelligent adults, but when that question comes out of the other persons mouth its like we become fools and have no thoughts. Our common answer is "I don't know" or "I don't care".  Well I found something to fix that problem. Our date night jar! I saw the idea on Pinterest (where all ideas live of course) and decided it was an inexpensive, crafty solution to our problem. All you need are Popsicle sticks, markers, a jar, and your list of activities you want to use. Both the Hubby and I brainstormed ideas in the categories of free dates, cheap dates, more expensive dates, and plan ahead dates. Here is our example list: Making the list was the hardest part. There are a lot of online links for date ideas. Just cater your list to your tastes and preferen

Book & Movie Review- Molly's Game

Joe and I recently read the book Molly's Game. We decided we would read the book while we waited for the movie to come out on DVD. photo credit link It is hard to believe it was a true story and just not made up. I am not one who likes biographies or reading to "learn." I like a good dramatic up and down story and this fits into that category. It's an action packed book about poker, greed, and knowing who to trust.  Molly Bloom- photo credit link The book details Molly Bloom's rise to run a secret celebrity rich poker game in back rooms and fancy hotels. The book drops some big names that many will recognize from many movies we watch on the big screen. IMDb's description of the movie is, "The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier, who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target." photo credit link I would highly recommend reading the book first, because the movie does not use names
