Valentines Day came early

I have been blogging a lot this month which is pretty cool because I have never had time and this month I have had a little more time to update y'all.
I had to have surgery on Friday so I was not sure how I would be on Saturday so I decided to give Jeff my valentines present for him early. I was really excited because I had been planning this for awhile and I got a lot of cute decorations and I made these really cute things pictured below. The one thing I made is a coupon book that has little pockets that you can insert love coupons. The other thing I made is a box that has cards that I decorated that are the seven reasons I love Jeff. Then I decorated the table with candy and balloons and just made it look all festive and cute. The original plan was to make breakfast for Jeff and have all of this ready but because of the surgery we just had breakfast for dinner on Thursday. We got this heart waffle maker when we got married but we have never used it so I thought this would be a great time to use it.
So on valentines day Jeff and I are just at home because I am not feeling up to going out and about but Jeff has done a really good job of taking care of me and my family and friends have been so wonderful by bringing us treats and calling to make sure that I am ok. I am feeling great though besides the fact that I can not blow my nose for the next week which completely sucks and sleeping was a little difficult because I have to keep my head elevated and so Jeff stayed up all night making sure that I could sleep and when I would fall asleep he was trying to make sure that I did not roll over because he did not want me to swallow blood so poor Jeff had about 3 hours of sleep so now I am just leaving him alone in the room so that he can hopefully fall asleep. Pretty much that is life for us right now and other then that we are doing pretty well in the Ross home.

The Grocery Game

Can I just say WOW!!!! I have been trying the grocery game and I have to say that I am completely satisfied and excited. Kelli showed my sister in law and I how to play this game and we were a little hesitant because we do not have big families (she has three little boys and a hubby and I have a hubby that does not like food). We decided to take the challenge anyway and it is great. I wish that I would of taken a picture of everything I got but I did not think about that at the time so that wont work now. So these were my results:

I bought a total of $177.52 in groceries
I saved a total of $93.50
Leaving my grand total as...
$84.02
I could not believe it and I got everything I needed I think that overall I have about 2 weeks of food for dinner and about 3 weeks of food for lunch. I even have name brand things and desserts and shampoos and shaving gel. I think that it is great because being a poor newlywed couple leaves your food budget pretty small but now I have plenty of money left in my food budget (awesome!!) I am just really excited about the awesome deal I got so I wanted to share it with everyone and if anyone wants to learn the ways then just ask and I will be more then happy to teach you my ways. They are not that great yet because I am just getting started but we can do it together and I promise you will not be let down. All you have to do now is start saving your coupons that you get in the Sunday paper and any other ads you might be getting and mark the date that you received those coupons on top and then go to thegrocerygame.com and you will just be blown away with all of the savings available to you that you probably had no idea they were even out there. So again if anyone is interested I would be more then happy to help you out and I am thinking about showing the girls at my craft night because I think they would all benefit from it extremely.

Who Knew?

So you might be wondering right now why I have a picture of a rubber band, paperclip and pencil all put together. Well let me tell you that this little thing can tell you how many kids you are going to have and what their sex is going to be and wait it only gets better it tells you what order you are going to have your children in. I know it sounds crazy right? but I think that it is pretty cool. So this little thing works by having someone hold the pencil by the rubber band over the other persons palm facing up. You can not do it to yourself and if it is being done to you then you can not put your hand over any other body part or another persons body because that will mess with the pencil. If the pencil starts to spin in a circle you are going to have a girl and if it goes in a straight line then you are going to have a boy. The pencil will stop after each child if you may and then it will start on the next child. Then when you are done having children it will just stop. I have done it on so many people and it has caused some crazy reactions. I did it at a Superbowl party and it was so funny to hear people getting anxious and talking about how they are going to handle 3 more children or even 3 more boys. It really was a riot.
So I took this little contraption to work to try it on my boss because she is prego and finds out the sex next week so I thought that would be the best way to find out if this is real. Then the next thing I knew everybody in my office wanted to try it out. I had people coming by my desk all day to see what they had to prepare for and the best part someone even brought their girlfriend in to see if it is the same as theirs. I know I know right now you are probably thinking I can not believe you actually believe this and you are showing other people your craziness, my husband thinks the same thing. I just think that it is really fun even if it is not true. When it was done on me I was shocked to find out that according to the pencil (wow that sounds crazy) I am going to be having five kids girl - boy - girl - girl - boy. My husband did it and his said the same thing and I have done it to many spouses and it always says the same thing. So that is my crazy little guilty pleasure I wanted to share with all of you.

Valentines Decor

It is February and that means Valentines day is coming so I am so excited and I made some decorations to make the holidays feel a little more festive. These are some pictures of the decorations that I have made this weekend and I am always looking for more ideas if anyone has any. These are the flowers that I put in a vase with some clear marbles and confetti.




I made this calendar and you just move the blocks to show the correct date and then you have a cute festive calendar.




I am so in love with this banner it is was quick and easy to make and it looks really cute hung up.
So these were the ideas that I have come up with so far so if anyone has any other great ideas then they are always welcome. I am really trying to get into every holiday and decorate and do little treats for my husband which I already have all of his stuff and I am excited so if anyone needs any ideas for there S.O. then let me know because I found the best ideas. You can email me on facebook or at jkross1212@yahoo.com if you want to know what I am doing and I will let you know the cute project I have planned.
