Brand New Housewife

I feel like such a little housewife. I recently quit my nearly full time job, and I now have mountains of time while my new husband is hard at work. This is a very unusual thing for me... I have not been without a job since I was 15 years old.

I have used all of my extra time to do things that I think are fun and thrifty.Yesterday, the Mr. and I went thrift store shopping. We got him three suit jackets, a sports coat, a pair of slacks, a dress and a vest for me, and 2 books for $45.

For breakfeast this morning we sipped warm hot chocolate, ate eggs and bacon, and munched on my homemade sourdough bread with my homemade butter. The recipe I used for the bread was fantastic.


I know that all of these things may not sound so great, but they are amazing to me. My husband works evenings, and I used to work mornings. We did not see each other very often. In the first 3 months of our new marriage, we had 2 days off work together. I had a very high stress job, and i did not have time for all if the fun, new wifey duties like baking, and decorating, and thrifty shopping. I am now able to enjoy some of these things, however on a much smaller budget due to me not having a job.


Thanks for reading, and God bless.
