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.

Oranges and Sunshine tells the story of Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham who uncovered one of the most significant social scandals of recent times: the deportation of thousands of children from the United Kingdom to Australia. I read this book last summer and it was heartbreaking. I can’t wait to see if the book lives up to the movie.

Guess who found a new series?  Did you guess me?!  Did you?  Did you?  Home Fires is about the women left to manage the country and their homes after their husbands and sons go off to fight in World War II.

I love me a good British drama, and I am totally drawn to the stories of everyday women.  Add it to your to-do list, it’s fantastic.

Friday Night at the Movies – Shawshank Redemption

I’ve seen Shawshank Redemption probably a dozen times, but it doesn’t matter how many times I watch it, I’m affected every time. You know those movies that are so moving, so good, that you sit in stunned silence when the credits start rolling. Shawshank Redemption is one of those movies. It’s really one of the best movies ever made. So so good.

At the heart of the story is a Maine banker, played by Tim Robbins, who is unjustly convicted of killing his wife and her lover after he discovers that she is having an affair. But it’s the life lessons told after his conviction lands him in Shawshank and he meets Morgan Freeman’s character that really make this movie incredible.

Hocus Pocus is the perfect Halloween night movie! I know Bette Midler has done some great more serious work, but I think this is my favorite movie of hers. It’s so quirky and fun, I can’t get enough of it. It centers around 3 crazy witches that always leave me laughing.hocus pocus
