Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐1) A couple of years ago, I shared some 'No Trick or Treating' posters for those of you who aren't keen on trick or treating for whatever reason and I know I always wheel them out in one form or another at this time of year but this year, sadly, I'm sharing them as I've printed them out for my own front door.I originally made them for people … [Read more...]
Homemade Apple Pie Spice Mix….
I've been using this homemade apple pie spice mix for a couple of months now and seeing as I've just made a new batch, I thought I'd share the recipe with you today. This homemade apple pie spice is perfect for adding that extra depth and warmth to your homemade apple pies but it's also amazing in flapjacks, porridge, homemade apple sauce, muffins, pancakes and so much more.

Super Relaxing DIY Bath Salts….
Remember my super-cute unicorn bath salts? Well even after making a few batches of that, I still had lots left of the Epson Bath Salts so I thought I'd try my hand at making a more grown-up version.

Homemade Bird Feeder in a mug….
I'm re-sharing this homemade birdfeeder in a mug tonight because it feels like a good time to remind people that our little feathered friends might need a bit of help at this time of year. Before I share it again though, I'm going to tell you why I was reminded of it earlier today and maybe one of you lovely people can give me some tree advice. 😁So, I have a tree outside my bedroom window which I've always thought was a Rowan tree due to its bright orange berries and over the last few weeks, it's been the streets most happening meeting place for birds judging by the … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter fudge recipe….
Oh. My. Days. Peanut Butter Fudge is amazing - how have I never tried it before? I bought a couple of cans of condensed milk ages ago ready to make some of my famous (in my own head) Nutella Fudge to take into work but for obvious hygiene reasons at the moment, taking homemade food into work at the moment is kind of frowned upon so they've just been sitting there in my cupboard gathering dust. This weekend, I decided to put the condensed milk to good use and have a play with some different flavours of fudge - the first one being a peanut butter fudge. I did think I had a … [Read more...]
Homemade Halloween Puzzles for your little ones…
It's been a long time since my two were little enough to want to do puzzles and jigsaws with me but when I saw these Halloween puzzles I knew they'd be perfect for some of you who have little ones.I've got three super cute Halloween puzzles for you today that I think will be suitable for around ages 3-5 if my memory of little children's hands and minds serves me rightly. The best way to make these puzzles is to print them out onto normal paper and then using a glue stick, stick the print out onto some card (a cereal box is ideal) and then cut out the pieces where the lines … [Read more...]
