One Hundred Dollars a Month - Page 1380 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.

Whew! A week’s worth of giveaways under my belt and we’re just getting started. Are you having fun yet? This elf totally is!

And it’s about to get a bit more exciting when you see what I’m giving away today! Remember when we took that family vacation to Washington D.C? I absolutely loved everything about Colonial Williamsburg: their gardens, their houses, their way of life. So today’s giveaway shares a little piece of that lifestyle with you!

Enter for a chance to win this Colonial Williamsburg prize pack that includes:

Vegetable Gardening the Colonial Williamsburg Way – This book is the bomb. It is chalked full of methods and advice for planting and growing a thriving vegetable garden in a colonial-style garden.

Monticello’s Kitchen Garden Seed Sampler-
This awesome seed sampler includes Brandywine Tomato, Cayenne Pepper, Cos Lettuce, Early Blood Turnip-Rooted Beet, Jersey Wakefield Cabbage, Prickly-Seeded Spinach, Thyme & White Eggplant.

6 Planting Markers from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello

1 Pair Digz Garden Gloves

All you have to do to enter this giveaway is leave a comment below and let me know where you’d pick your family up and move to right away if you could {money and logistics are not issues in this scenario, so dream BIG}?

That was Colonial Williamsburg for me. I’d move my family there in a heartbeat. And you? Where to?

Just answer that one question and you’re entered to win. Life’s pretty complicated sometimes, so I like to keep things simple around here.

Rules

1 entry per person/ip address. If you cheat, you will totally be disqualified.

This giveaway ends Sunday, December 8th, 2013 @6 pm PST and the winners will be announced in the Monday, December 9th, 2013 edition of Mornings with Mavis.

Mavis’ 24 Days of Christmas Giveaways – Day 7

By Mavis Butterfield on December 6, 2013 ·

For today’s giveaway, I bring you four of the greatest books ever written. Granted they’ll never win a Pulitzer, but they totally should. All the writers are quirky and a little off, which is probably why I love them so much. Even if you don’t win this giveaway, I’d recommend adding these to your must read lists. They’re that awesome.

Four lucky readers will win one of these four books:

The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You
Hyperbole and a Half {My daughters favorite}
Let Me Off at the Top!: My Classy Life and Other Musings
Si-cology 1: Tales and Wisdom from Duck Dynasty’s Favorite Uncle

You’ll have to choose which book you want {which I know will be a totally agonizing choice}.

For a chance to win, simply leave a comment below and let me know which book you’d choose if you won and why. Are you are hypochondriac too? Are you a really big deal? Do you like ironic, cartoon anecdotes? Ducks? Or maybe you just like easy reads that don’t make you cry or think about hard stuff?

Just answer that one question and you’re entered to win. Life’s pretty complicated sometimes, so I like to keep things simple around here.

Rules

1 entry per person/ip address. If you cheat, you will totally be disqualified.

This giveaway ends December 7, 2013 @6 pm PST and the winner will be announced in the December 8th, 2013 edition of Mornings with Mavis. You will be notified via email and have 24 hours to claim your prize. If you do not claim your prize within 24 hours, the prize will be forfeited.

Due to shipping costs, this giveaway is only open to residents of the US only.

Good Luck! I hope you win!

Pick Up Lines for a Christmas Party

By Mavis Butterfield on December 6, 2013 · 1 Comment

Do you have a work Christmas party you are obligated to attend this year? Maybe a neighborhood party? While everyone is in good spirits you should totally roll out some cheesy pick-up lines in an attempt to line up a date for New Years. And, of course, I am here to help with a couple of solid ideas:

I’ve checked it twice, and I’m sure you’re on the naughty list. {Use at your own risk}
All I want for Christmas is you. {If it works in Love Actually, it should work for you!}
I like milk and cookies, but I would rather have you.
You look like you should be on the top of a Christmas tree, Angel. {Barf.}
Even Santa doesn’t make candy as sweet as you. {Gag}
I’ve got the keys to the sleigh tonight, wanna get out of here? {Might land you a first date opportunity right away}
I’d definitely let you join in my reindeer games.
You must be a snowflake, because I’ve fallen for you.
Can I take your picture? Why? Because I want Santa to know exactly what I want for Christmas.
Those aren’t visions of sugarplums dancing through my head, it’s all you.

Merry Christmas and Good Luck!

Mavis
