You Only Live Once....

I used to really care about other people's opinions. Growing up it seems like you always want to please others. You want to make your parents, teachers, family proud, you want to be perceived as cool by classmates and the older kids, but the one person you don't aim to please is yourself. You always seem to come last.

As I have gotten older, I have really came to the conclusion, I don't care what other people think.

Do I want to be liked? Yes, who doesn't?

Do I care if you think your car or house is nicer than mine? Nope.

What if people judge me for my life choices? That's okay, let them think what they want. It doesn't matter what choices you make, someone will always think you should be doing something different.

I know the Hubby and I have went on a lot of vacations this year and that people think we are nuts, but I don't care. Life is about living. We currently don't have children, so why not enjoy being able to take a trip on a whim?!?

So that being said, we went to Atlantic City again last weekend. We had a great time and got really sun burnt!

We stayed at the Tropicana again. You can't beat it. The hotel is right on the beach!

We had to limit out sun exposure after spending too much time out the first day!

I'm happy to have my partner in crime to enjoy life with! Life's too short to care what everyone else thinks. I enjoy getting to make memories that will last us a lifetime!

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
