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.

Friday Night at the Movies – Cedar Cove Series

Recently I told you about the tea service at The Grey House Café in Port Orchard, Washington. We loved it and couldn’t stop raving. I mentioned it was owned by Debbie Macomber and I got so many comments about a series called Cedar Cove, based on her books. Well I’m taking your advice and watching it because it’s free on Netflix right now. It does look awesome, but I’m afraid I’m going to get sucked in and then have a full-on Netflix binge this weekend. If you’ve seen it, do you think that’ll happen? Did you love it, too?

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it.

Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

~Mavis

Bits and Bobs for the End of September

bits and bobs: A random assortment of things; small remaining pieces and things

Eyebrows. I need some.

  1. Where do they get the eyebrows from?
  2. How do they transplant them?
  3. How much does is cost?
  4. How long do they last?

All things I need to know.
My husband. No matter how many times I point out that our luggage {that we’ve had for 5 years} has ROLLERS…. he insists on carrying our bags. It’s so painfully awkward. And I just have to roll my eyes and mentally prepare myself every single time I travel with him.

You know, when you see not one, but 3 people sitting diagonally in front of you on an airplane with their naked feet rubbing against the seat in front of them, the tray table, and their neighbors magazine area you begin to wonder… Is it just me who thinks this is gross? Is it really appropriate to apply lotion to your bare feet and pick at your toes while in the company of 300 complete strangers?

Or how about the 40 year old guy who walked from the front of the plane to the toilets in his BARE feet? Is his eyesight so bad that he doesn’t notice the shiny urine spots on the bathroom floor? I mean, I know it’s a small space and everything, but still, there is a light in there.

Something tells me, he too, is rubbing the tray table in front of him with his feet.

GAG.

When I was a kid we didn’t have backpack catchalls, or pencil pouches. I tucked my one pencil into the inside flap of my Pee-Chee folder or blue wrapped canvas binder {remember those?}. Stuff to hold your stuff… when did that become so popular? And why are people buying it? Why not just light your money on fire and watch it burn instead? At least then it wouldn’t end up in a landfill.

Got a glue gun?

Seriously. Who knew $1.00 worth of red pom poms and a pair of faded jeans could fetch so much.

Looking for a side gig? Dog walking. I’m telling you, it’s where the money is at!

7 dogs x $16 a walk = $112. Even if it took that guy an hour and a half to pick up/drop off and walk all those those pups… HOLY COW MAN.

Hey! It’s the weekend. Smile. Keep your eyes open, and continue to be amazed.

Peace out Girl scouts,

~Mavis
