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 – Big Dreams Small Spaces

I recently discovered the show Big Dreams Small Spaces with host Monty Don on Netflix and I am in love with the show. As you all know by now, I love British programming for their much slower approach and real life {and less edited and gimmicky} filming techniques and well, this show is spot on. So if you are itching to get outside and dig in the dirt but can’t just yet, I highly recommend making yourself a nice cuppa, and settling in for season 1 of Big Dream Small Spaces. I’m pretty sure you are going to love it. Thanks Johanne for the recommendation!

Friday Night at the Movies – Red Rock

While living in the apartment for the past month {and not being able to go anywhere without Lucy by my side} it’s probably no surprise to you that I got a lot of tv time in. 😉 Which, in hindsight has been kind of nice because I was able to discover a ton of new programs to share with you AND I was able to get a bunch of rugs hooked at the same time.

One of my favorites, was Red Rock. It’s an Irish police show {filmed in Dublin} and let me tell you, Garda Superintendent James McKay is pretty easy on the eyes and could easily pass as Matthew Goode’s sibling. The show is really well made {and there are a ton of episodes!} and if you are into crime dramas, I highly Red Rock.

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

Friday Night at the Movies – The Shelbourne Hotel

Okay, so I think you all know I am a sucker for not only accents but British and Irish tv shows, so when Jane left a comment the other day recommending The Shelbourne Hotel series I just had to check it out. I’ve only watched a few episodes so far {seasons 1 and 2 are available on Amazon Prime right now} but I am hooked.

“For nearly two hundred years, the Shelbourne Hotel has been the beating heart at the centre of Dublin. It’s a piece of living history, and has hosted high society, royalty, revolutionaries, world leaders and modern day celebrities. Now, for the first time, film crews have been allowed exclusive access to the front and back of house, finding out what it takes to deliver five star service to some of the worlds most demanding clientele.”

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

Friday Night at the Movies – Terms of Endearment

Another oldie but a goodie… Terms of Endearment is available on Amazon Prime right now. It’s hard to believe this movie was made 35 years ago but those classics, sure hold up. The complex mother/daughter relationship is just so real and raw you can’t help but love both Debra Winger and Shirley Maclaine’s characters.

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