Friday Fun!

Whoa.... what day is it? It's been one of those weeks! Thankfully it's hard to forget Friday, but we have been crazy busy with basketball. Luckily for us, the Hubby only has one more 8th grade game.

 My new glasses came in this week. I am really having to adjust to wearing glasses everyday. It was a lot harder to pick out a pair of frames than I thought. It's amazing how much clearer things are when you actually wear your glasses! Who would have thunk it?

Don't mind the crazy hair, I just didn't feel like fixing it yesterday!

We actually have a free night tonight. No set plans, no responsibilities! I don't remember what this feels like.... but the plan is to rent a couple movies and just relax, because tomorrow is a varsity basketball game and a family get together. 

I think I am going to rent The Maze Runner and The Equalizer. The Hubby LOVES Denzel Washington, so I can't imagine him being in just a terrible movie. 


If you check ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, the TOMATO-METER has it at 61% while the audience rates it at 78%.

Then I wanted to see The Maze Runner. I tried to start the book and just couldn't get into it. We will see if the movie catches my attention.


If you check ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, the TOMATO-METER has it at 63% while the audience rates it at 69%.

I am excited to have the Hubby to myself tonight! We are supposed to get 5 inches of snow on Sunday, but hopefully it'll be a good weekend overall!

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
