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 – Call the Midwife, Season 6

I just finished watching Call the Midwife Season 6  and it’s just as awesome as the first 5 seasons. It really is one of my very favorite shows and this season didn’t disappoint. I especially love it because it’s on Netflix, so I can binge watch it, because its certainly binge-watch worthy.

It’s now 1962 and times are changing, from the beacon of the contraceptive pill and the shadow of infamous gangsters the Krays, to the new welfare policies introduced by the government. Back in Poplar, when the rather austere Sister Ursula is appointed the new head of Nonnatus House, Sister Julienne finds herself demoted and working back alongside the midwives as an ordinary member of staff. She is not the only one to face challenges closer to home. As they strive to help mothers and families cope with the demands of childbearing, disability, disease and social prejudice, our beloved medics must make choices – and fight battles – of their own.

Do YOU have a favorite series I haven’t blogged about yet? I’m always looking for something good to watch and share, so I’d love to check it out.

Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

Lull Farm Stand – Hollis, NH

The HH and I have been driving around New England this past week in search of the quintessential New England town and on our journey we happened upon Lull Farm Stand in Hollis, New Hampshire. And it my friends, was lovely.

But then, aren’t all farm stands in the fall pretty fantastic?

The place was  bustling with customers and the fruit and vegetable displays were amazing with all their ripe goodness stacked high and ready to take home.

I had never seen such a assortment of heirloom tomatoes available for sale. The varieties were endless and I think the going price was $2.99 a pound. Some of my favorites {Cherokee, Black Krim, Green Zebra} were there along with ones I had never tried before. And the cool part? They were all grown right there on the farm. Can’t beat that for freshness now can you?

Another thing we’ve noticed travelling through the Northeast has been the apple varieties. Macintosh and Cortland apples seem to be extremely popular, both at farm stands, and in the local grocery stores. Here in the Northwest, Fuji, Gala and Red Delicious {gag} are the most popular with Fuji being our favorite.

I haven’t tried the Cortland apple yet, but the Macintosh? Delicious!

The inside of the farm store was HUGE and had everything you could possibly want. Milk, eggs, fruits, veggies, a bakery department, meats and cheeses, you name it. Lull’s had it.

The humidity in New England… Whoa Nelly, it was up there, but I told the HH that clearly, the weather was good for growing vegetables and so a little humidity during the summer months would be an excellent trade off.

Oh, and the apple cider? Freakin’ fantastic. It was like drinking a liquid apple.

So apparently my husband likes mums. He wouldn’t stop talking about them. They aren’t my favorite, but hey, if it gets me to New England, I’ll make sure and always have a few planted in the garden. 😉

Dear New England, I am in LOVE with you, and I can’t wait until we can be together forever.

Hello Friday! I’m sure some of you have noticed via my Instagram page that the HH and I have been traveling this past week. Some nights we’ve been able to get back to the room early enough for me to get some writing done for the next day and well, other nights not so much.

Living in the moment and sleep… sometimes don’t go together, so I’m sorry for not getting any deals posted yesterday. I’ll try and do better. 😉

Hey! It’s Friday, and the weekend is just hours away…. Get out there and have some fun!
