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 – Mr. Rogers and Me

Last week I watched a sweet little movie called Mr. Roger’s and Me.  As a child who grew up in the 70’s and early 80’s, I adored Mr. Rogers and his show Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. Even as a child, I knew there was something genuine about him. The film is just over an hour in length, but if you are a fan, you won’t want to miss it.

With all the animation, and devices kids are constantly glued to these days, it made me glad I grew up in a time when Mr. Rogers was a calming {and non commercial} influence on the telly. This film is currently available with Amazon Prime.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.

Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

~Mavis

Random Goodness from Around the Web 4/20/18

Random Goodness from Around the WebThe beauty of being a blogger is that I have a platform to share whatever noteworthy topic that pops into my head.  Sometimes, the crazy stories I come across on the inter-web or the random thoughts that pop into my mind aren’t really noteworthy at all {on their own}.  They usually make me pause, laugh, or just plain roll my eyes and I go on about my day.  

So, without further ado, here’s this weeks edition of Random Goodness from Around the Web:

You’ve Gone Too Far, Sonic!

This is not a drill. Sonic is putting pickle juice into their slushies this summer and I think the world has officially gone mad. Even if you like pickles. Even if you like pickle juice. There are limits, people! That’s crossing a line. Gag. Sonic will start selling a pickle juice slush this June. The drink is a bright green and combines that sweet slushie flavor with the gag-worthy burst of pickle flavor. What’s worse? You can add the pickle flavor to anything on the menu. Ice cream. Shakes. Or maybe something for normal humans like a burger?

Meet Two Awesome Muggles

If you are a Harry Potter fan {or really, even if you aren’t}, this story will warm your heart. It begins with two young Harry Potter fans and ends with a gesture that will restore your faith in humanity. One child with a tough upbringing and one with a heart so tender that wanted to make a difference. Click on over and read all about Xavier Kennedy and Destiny Carroll and their amazing story!

Wow. Just. Wow.

I’m just sitting here with my jaw on the desk. I have seen Jack Black in all sorts of movies and I even knew he was in a band, but I had no idea he could belt like that. Like him or not, you have to admit that was freakin’ amazing.

Does It Leave Your Mouth Bacon Fresh?

Do you love the taste of bacon in the morning? If so, this bacon flavored dental floss is just the thing for you! Or maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s actually a super odd and gross thing to be sliding between your teeth? I like bacon as much as the next guy and I think flossing is super important, buuut I have my limits. I guess if this is what it takes to get you to floss, so be it. Would you ever use this? Have you ever used it? Maybe it’s the perfect birthday gift or stocking stuffer for that bacon lover in your life?

And that concludes this installment of Random Goodness from Around the Web.  Please make sure to leave your random responses in the comment section.

Quote of the Day “You don’t get much done if you only work on the days you feel like it.” ~Jerry West

Hello Friday! Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am. The weather here in New England should hit the upper 50’s to low 60’s over the next few days…. Which is sorta nuts because it was snowing at our place yesterday. The weather here, it’s CRAZY and you never know what you’re going to get. I LOVE it!!!

Have a great weekend everyone, and HUG YOUR PEOPLE!
