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.

quotes - start where you are

Quote of the Day “Start where you are.  Use what you have.  Do what you can.”

lucy puggle dog legs

Poor little Lucy puggle. Yesterday the HH gave her a small piece of his bacon at breakfast.  Then off and on yesterday and throughout the night, she kept trying to clear her throat. At first we thought well, she’ll work it out and everything will be fine. But last night was like sleeping with a sick toddler so I’m going to call the vet this morning and see what they have to say.

Mrs. Hillbilly was over yesterday {more on that later} and said it might be kennel cough. I said no. Because for starters, she doesn’t hang out in a kennel {she does go to doggy day care about once every 2 weeks for a few hours to play though}. I think it’s because of the bacon. I just hope there is something the vet can give her to help clear her throat… I’d hate to have her have a scope down her throat.

Lesson to be learned here… Don’t give your dog bacon. No matter how small the piece. 🙁 What do you think? has this ever happened to your dog?

soaking peas in water

Other than the bacon episode, yesterday was another great planting day in the garden. Spring is here, and you can read all about it over on Dig for Your Dinner.

Have a great day everyone,

♥ Mavis
