Our Love Day!

Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Today is the big day. Where everyone wants that special day with that special someone. I have been lucky enough to spend this day with the love of my life... MR. EVERYTHING for the last ten years.

We've done just about everything you could imagine a couple to do on Vday... so this year, our 10th year celebrating... we decided to do it a bit differently...

For starters, we both took the day off! Yeehaw! Then, we both agreed that we would do absolutely NOTHING but stay in the house and cuddle under the blankets watching our favorite movies while vegging out on some good old comfort food.

Mr. Wonderful's movie pick was none other than... you've guessed it... TOP GUN! lol


and of course, I chose a woman's fav... HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS!


I "slaved" in the kitchen whippin up a great slow cook recipe "Zesty Chicken BBQ". This dish will be served over garlic mashed potatoes and fresh steamed vegetable meadley. YUM! You can find the recipe here. Super easy! =)


And to top it off... we will end the eatery festivities with the hubs all time favorite dessert... YELLOW CAKE with CHOCOLATE FROSTING! {I love my simple man!}


Other than sharing our days schedule, I also wanted to share my V-Day throw pillows I made a few days ago.

INTRODUCING MY NO-SEW THROW PILLOWS. Well, I stitched the heart, but I still consider it a no-sew :p lol


aaaand, a close up! =)


So, there you have it. A simple day that is simply perfect for us!

Do you have any plans today?

Extreme Couponing! Our first attempt!

Monday, February 6, 2012

So this is it! Our first attempt at being extreme coupon'ers.

I was totally freaking out about it possibly not working... so we decided to take it slow the first time around.

Our first "purchase" was a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs and a bottle of OJ for the grand total of... wait for it... wait for it...


ZERO DOLLARS!! wahoo! That is 100% total in savings!



IT REALLY WORKS! And I am excited to really start couponing! YAY for saving a buck or two!
