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.

In honor of National Food Day yesterday, tonight The Girl and I are going to watch Nourish:  Food + Community.  It’s a PBS documentary that explores the power of real food.  It looks like the documentary focuses on educating our youth on food production, possibility and preparation.  You all know how I love a good food documentary, so I am super excited to check this one out.

Last week, I started London Hospital–and for the record, I’m hooked.  Thanks to readers Janet and Linda, now I have a new series to add to the list.  This Friday, I am going to start Foyle’s War.  It’s about a detective who investigates wartime crimes in England {War time being WWII}.  It gets a solid 5 stars on Amazon, combines drama with historical accuracy, and is set in a small coastal town in England.  I’m pretty sure it has Mavis written all over it.  {Thanks again for the suggestion!}

Friday Night at the Movies – London Hospital

I apparently must watch a lot of BBC shows, because in my search for a movie this week, London Hospital popped up as a suggestion.  I don’t know how I hadn’t found it until now–it totally looks like a show I’m gonna love.  Like Call the Midwife, it is set in East London in the early 1900’s.

It follows the lives of the nurses, doctors, and patients, kind of like a Grey’s Anatomy, only with a lot more substance.  And, true to form, the BBC has tried to get most of their stories from the journals of the nurses and doctors.  I can’t wait to dive into this series.

Tonight I am going to watch Chaplin.  It’s about the life of Charlie Chaplin–both on and off the screen. It got great reviews on Amazon–and I don’t really know that much about him, other than he was a Hollywood legend.  This is one of those movies I just kind of stumbled onto, and I’m really looking forward to watching it.  {It doesn’t hurt that I love Robert Downey Jr. }
