It's Friday....Watch a New Movie or TV Show!

It's Friday again! Whew, glad that week is over. I am counting the days until our Spring Break vacation. It can't get here fast enough.

It has been a pretty uneventful week, but that's not a bad thing! We have watched a couple movies and shows over the past couple of weeks. Some were good, some were not so good.

The Hubby wanted to rent Nightcrawler. He said it was one the best movies he has seen in awhile. I didn't really care for it, because I hated the main character. It's hard to enjoy the movie when you can't stand watching the main guy throughout. The story is about a man starting his own news recording company and getting to be the best at it, no matter what it takes.

We have been getting our money's worth from Netflix this month. Besides watching our favorite show, The Office, we have been watching some movies.

The Interview, let's just say it wasn't very good. There were a couple parts we laughed, but mostly it was just dumb.

Chef was another movie on Netflix. I really loved this movie. I thought it was funny and heartwarming. It's a movie about finding out what is really important in life and getting back your passion for the things you love to do.

Magic Beyond Words: the J.K. Rowling Story is a Lifetime movie that was on Netflix. It was pretty good. I initially turned it on thinking it was a documentary and not a movie, but I enjoyed hearing the story of how she came to write one of the all time best children's books, Harry Potter.

We have also found a couple new TV shows that have caught our eye.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Season 10 is back on! Don't get me wrong this show is completely crazy. No group of friends could be this stupid, but this season has been really funny so far! I'm excited to see what else they have in store.

Better Call Saul on AMC. I didn't realize this had started. I knew that it was in the works, but we missed the premiere episodes. We are going to try to catch up with the first couple of episodes, so we can watch them each week. I can't wait to see this show, we enjoyed Breaking Bad so much and Saul was the Hubby's favorite character.

The Shark Tank has become one of my favorite shows to watch. I like the idea of watching people just like you and me getting an opportunity to go big with a simple idea or invention. Mark is my favorite shark, he is honest and very intelligent, but doesn't shove that into the people's faces.

Hopefully this weekend you can enjoy a good movie or show with your sweetheart!

Until next time,

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
