One Hundred Dollars a Month - Page 1088 of 2143 - 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.

Are you starting to freak out that gardening season is fading fast? Think again! It’s not almost over. In my latest eHow article, 9 Proven Tips for Extending the Growing Season, I’m talking all about how to keep that garden churning out produce!

Just because the kids are back in school and our sunlight hours are fading doesn’t mean it’s time to pack up the garden tools just quite yet. Although we may not be able to grow bushels of tomatoes during the fall and winter months, there are plenty of vegetables we can grow and many ways to extend the growing season.

Friday night at the movies just won’t be the same around here now that The Girl is gone, but in an effort to carry on our tradition, I decided to put together a quick Friday night movie care package for her and her roommates.

I kept it pretty simple and sent her a DVD {I picked The Princess Bride}, a package of red vines, some candy bars and a box of microwave popcorn for her to share with her peeps. I stacked all of the items together and tied them with a bow.

I don’t know about you, but the whole idea of getting care packages kind of makes me want to go to college. 🙂

I was cleaning out a drawer today and came across these gems. We all have them, little scribbles from our children, and it made me stop and wonder why I haven’t taken the time to get them framed. Because really, these drawings, they’re the best stuff on earth.

They are the things I would grab if my house was on fire. They are irreplaceable snippets in time that you can’t replace. Ever.

Take time to tell your peeps you LOVE THEM. Everyday. Even when they’re making you crazy.
