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.

Yee-Haw! I love a jam packed vacation. 🙂 You can catch us in real time on Instagram or wait for a proper post later tonight here on the blog.

Quote of the Day “Nothing will work unless you do.” Maya Angelou

Hello Monday! By the look on Lucy’s face I’m guessing she misses her mama. Poor little puggles. Although she is getting extra snuggle time with the HH this week I’m pretty sure she misses all the mix-ins I usually add to her meals. 🙁 The HH sent me that photo last night and my heart sank a little. Don’t worry puggle princess, I’ll be home soon.

Well, The Girl and I have been having a blast on our East coast adventure and I’ll share some photos and the stories behind them later this afternoon, but for now, here are a few deals.

Have a wonderful day,

♥ Mavis

Quote of the Day “Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what will happen. Keep it in the sunlight.”

Benjamin Franklin

I don’t know about you, but I think Lucy is ready for the weekend. Do you have any exciting plans yet? The Girl will be running 20 miles with a friend and I’ll be checking out a new pastry shop. Sounds about even, right? 😉 Oh, and if anyone knows the best way to avoid the tolls in NYC, I’d love to hear about it. I’d love not to have to shell out $200 as I make my way up the east coast.

Have a great thursday everyone,
