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.

Friday Night at the Movies – Mr. Rogers and Me

Last week I watched a sweet little movie called Mr. Roger’s and Me.  As a child who grew up in the 70’s and early 80’s, I adored Mr. Rogers and his show Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. Even as a child, I knew there was something genuine about him. The film is just over an hour in length, but if you are a fan, you won’t want to miss it.

With all the animation, and devices kids are constantly glued to these days, it made me glad I grew up in a time when Mr. Rogers was a calming {and non commercial} influence on the telly. This film is currently available with Amazon Prime.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.

Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

Friday Night at the Movies – TURN

Not only did the HH and I binge watch the series Turn: Washington’s Spies, once, but twice. Yes, it is that good and let me tell you Bob, if you are a history buff, or are just looking for some period decor tips 😉 this is the show for you!

“Turn: Washington’s Spies is an American period drama television series based on Alexander Rose’s book Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring.” The acting, the costumes, the sets, were all so well done and we can’t recommend this series enough. Currently available on Netflix.

We LOVED this series and often found ourselves fact checking and talking about bits from the episodes the next morning. Oh, and the wing back chairs in Richard Woodhull’s big sitting room? I want those!!! They would look so perfect in our new {old} home. And Samuel Roukin? He did an excellent job portraying John Graves Simcoe {what a creepy fellow!}.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.

I was ordering something on Amazon when a promo for the new Amazon series The Last Post popped up on the screen. And well, being a fan of all things British I’ve decided to check it out this weekend during my down time. Right now The Last Post is available with Amazon Prime.

“In the mid-60s, a unit of Royal Military Police officers and their families deal with the challenges of politics, love and war in the shimmering heat of British-controlled Aden.”

Friday Night at the Movies – California Typewriter

Recently the HH and I watched the film California Typewriter and really enjoyed it. I don’t know about you, but I learned to type on a typewriter {at my grandparents house} way before learning on a word processor in middle school. It was a fun film to watch and I was pretty amazed that there are still a few brick and mortar typewriter repair shops still open for business.
