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.

Quote of the Day  “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” ~ Albert Einstein

This dog! It’s like having a VERY active toddler 24/7. She’s so sweet, yet so mischievous and keeps us on our toes. Yesterday she helped in the garden by digging a few holes and trying to find voles. She didn’t find any though so I have a feeling the little critters got the hint they’re not welcome in Lucy’s yard and have moved on to the neighbors property. 😉

Life, it’s one big adventure here. 🙂

Have a great day everyone!

Quote of the Day  “I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.” ~ Audrey Hepburn

This morning, I think around 2 am, I pulled the folded comforter at the end of our bed up over us. A few hours later I awoke to a COLD house. It was lovely. As I sit here typing, I am wearing a pullover sweater. FALL…. I think it’s finally on it’s way. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Goodbye mosquitoes and humidity, HELLO chilly breezes and puffy coats. Yipeeeeee!

Wishing you the happiest of Mondays.
