This week I feel like I am getting all domestic! I don't know how you are "supposed" to be as a newlywed, but being married is the funnest thing I have ever done and part of it is because I get to pretend like I am a domestic wife. Sometimes, I still feel like I am playing house but, hey it was fun when I was 5 and it is still fun now!
Today officially marks the first day of our couponing career! My awesome step-mom is so good at this and gave us some good starting resources so I decided to try it! We decided to go all out and buy as much as we could to last us the next 2 weeks. We went to Smiths and ended up saving a little more than 22 dollars on our trip!!!(with the smiths card and coupons)! Now that is exhilarating! Now keep in mind that I have a Hungry basketball boy on my hands and we bought for about two weeks, so there was a LOT of groceries but 22 dollars definitely make a HUGE difference. (as Josh would say that could buy be 19 tacos) Let me share my secrets, I went to grocerysmarts.com and looked at all the grocery stores deals and prices to see which store to go to and which coupons to bring. Then I went to coupons.com (they have an awesome app) and printed out all the coupons I wanted. And TA-DA we saved ourselves 19 tacos! IF YOU HAVE MORE TIPS LET US KNOW!!!
Because we were out of groceries...before our awesome trip... we didn't have much options for dinner tonight so I decided to get a little creative. I grabbed what we had and whipped up a chicken dinner! It turned out SO GOOD and I actually wanted to eat the peppers ( I DO NOT like veggies:))

Sorry if this looks gross but, it was DELICIOUS! Chicken cooked with peppers and seasonings on top of rice and black beans, topped with diced tomatoes! SO YUMMY!
My last domestic venture happened last weekend for, Josh's little sister, Amber's Birthday. She turned 7 and we wanted to do something fun for her!With the help of Josh and my mom we came up with a creative way to give a present to her! One weekend during 4th of July amber spent the night and we bought beta fish. The whole time she was so intrigued in him so we decided we would get her, her own! So,We put together 7 balloons with 7 hints that led her around the house to find her fish! We stuffed each balloon with a caramel(her favorite candy)and hint leading her to the next balloon. It was so much fun to put together and we meticulously picked out the best fish for the best little 7 year old!
