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.

The Girl and I have been having so much fun watching some of the old musical classics that we have decided to put them on our regular rotation for awhile.  Tonight, we are going to watch The Music Man.

I don’t know if you have ever seen it, but if you have, you know what I’m talking about when I say that I will probably be singing the train scene in my head for days after this.  If you are looking for some amusing, clean FAMILY entertainment, The Music Man is where it’s at.

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,

Tonight The Girl and I are going to check out In Organic We Trust.  It is a documentary that explores exactly what it means for food to be organic.  I know lots of people who cannot afford to buy organic–so I am super curious what direction the documentary is going to go.  Hopefully, it will explain which organic choices are healthier and which aren’t worth the extra moolah.

Friday Night at the Movies – Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

A couple of weeks ago, The Girl and I watched State Fair.  It was just as fun as I remember.  One of my readers mentioned Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and I had totally forgotten about that one.  I probably haven’t seen it in 15 years.  So, tonight, I am introducing The Girl to get another classic.  Thanks Renay for reminding me about this one!

Have already seen it.  Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?

Friday Night at the Movies – Slow Life

Slow Life from Daniel Stoupin on Vimeo.

Okay, so not really a movie, but I thought it was pretty darn cool and decided to share anyway.  This weekend is kind of hectic for us, so I thought this video would be  3 1/2 minutes well spent.

The photographer, Daniel Stoupin, basically wanted to show the underwater world of coral and sponges through time elapse cinematography.  He hoped it would raise awareness as to why the coral reefs are worth preserving.   He did all of his filming in tanks, in order to eliminate filming variables, but you still totally get the picture.  I think kids will love this one–and it will be like you took them snorkeling without the hefty price tag of plane tickets. 🙂
