One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

quotes - never let a stumble

Quote of the Day “Never let a stumble in the road be the end of the journey.”

lucy the puggle dog

Seriously. The HH isn’t the only one who has lost weight lately. Have you noticed how much Miss Lucy has trimmed down over the past few weeks? Last night I snapped a photo of her on the back porch and it’s really noticeable. I’m pretty sure if she could speak she’d say “Darrrrling…. It feels fabulous to be back at the proper weight again.” So I guess this is proof that I wasn’t the one slipping her cheese, pretzels and dinner scraps on the side.

Ya. How about that? 🙂

Have a great thursday everyone. Stay AWESOME.

  1. Yes, I did notice Lucy’s slimmer physique and did think to myself that time alone with you has done her good. She is one lucky dog! Thanks so much for sharing her daily activities with us. She is having so much fun on vacation.
