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.

My friend, MamaJJ recommended that I watch Queen of Versailles.  It’s about a billionaire’s family–and their experience when the economic bubble popped.  Fair warning:  apparently it kind of makes you want to strangle these people, but it is jaw-dropping enough that you can’t stop watching.

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

Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

In light of the holiday, I thought it might be kind of fun to start John Adams, an HBO original dramatization about none other than…John Adams and his life in early America.  A little history combined with some HBO drama.  Yes, please.  Best part is that you can stream it on Amazon without even needing pricey HBO.  Wahoo!

Last week, I shared part one of the BBC Future of Food.  Tonight, I am going to continue on with Part 2:  Senegal.  This one explores the impact of our western diets on countries who are providing our food, sometimes at the expense of having enough to eat themselves.   Again, this one is totally free {wahoo!} so all you have to do is click play.

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