Hey! 👐I've not been very good at all posting lately, have I? In fairness, I've had a few distractions that I'm going to tell you about one of these days but for now, just know that I have a lot going on. I'm going to try and get back into a bit of a rhythm again and have some time this weekend to make a few blog plans but until then, here's this … [Read more...]
10 ways to reuse glass jam jars…
In the spirit of being sustainable and reusing as much as you possibly can around the house, I thought you might like to see a few ideas on how to reuse glass jam jars.I actually started this post (if taking two photographs counts as starting a post) a good few months ago now and then forgot all about the idea until this week when I saw a post on Facebook about how the owners of the company who make my favourite brand of jam, Bonne Maman, actually hid a family in Paris during World War 2 as part of the Nazi resistance effort. The story was really heartwarming but potentially (as with … [Read more...]

Honestly, this Instant Pot Ham, Potato and Corn Chowder is life-changing* and I can practically guarantee that once you've made this once, it'll be a regular addition to your weekly meal plan.*OK, life-changing may be a slight exaggeration but it's AMAZING!**Also, I should say that the photos don't do this justice as it was a grey day outside (hence the need for comfort food like this) and there was no way any amount of editing was going to pep them up!I'm really loving my Instant Pot now that I'm starting to get a bit braver with it!

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) I know I only just shared this month's pre-loved bargains post but I found a beautiful French Connection dress in my local charity shop last Sunday!

How to make a Mason Jar Salad….
The first title I gave this post was 'How a mason jar salad is going to change your life' but I thought you might think I was exaggerating a bit so I toned it down a bit but actually I still stand by my first one.

A mason jar salad will last up to five days in the fridge if you make it right and store it properly so in theory, you could meal prep your lunches for most of the week on a Sunday … [Read more...]
