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  “Saying nothing… sometimes says the most.” ~ Emily Dickinson

Hellooooo Monday. On the agenda for today: Work in the garden.

How about YOU? Do you have any exciting plans? Rain is in the forecast later this week and since most of the leaves are off the trees {well, about 75% anyway} I figure it’s time to get out there and do some clean up.

Monday! Let’s do this. Have a great day everyone,

♥ Mavis & Lucy

Quote of the Day  “When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.” ~ Donald Miller

Top of the morning to you! Yesterday was a busy day. The rug we ordered for the family room arrived {and Lucy approved!} and we finally got around to hanging the big chicken rug I hooked on the wall above the couch. I might as well enjoy it until someone decided to buy it, right? And seriously, why didn’t I do this sooner? The house feels so much more like home with a little folk art on the walls and rug on the floor. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Wishing you the happiest of Fridays, on this cold and windy morning.
