Even though I've not been too well for the last couple of weeks (just a virus that's dragging on - nothing dramatic ;-)) we've still had another really lovely month with some great moments that have made me smile....The first one I'm going to tell you about today is the text Miss Frugal got this morning from one of her friends as she was getting ready for a school visit to spend the days with some monks at a monastery. Her friends seems to have not read the letter too well as she woke up this morning gutted to find out she was going to visit monks and not monkeys! She only realised it was … [Read more...]
5 Hotspots you can de-clutter in 15 minutes!
This weekend has been lovely as I finally seem to have shaken the lurgy that's been following me around for the last few weeks. I'm still not sleeping well though as my body seems to have forgotten that it's supposed to go to sleep when it's dark - this means that I don't have that much energy through the day at the minute so I'm trying to tackle everything I want to do in short sharp blasts.I've had a list of areas at home that I've wanted to start de-cluttering since I read The Life Changing Magic of Tidying by Marie Kondo so I decided to tackle a few of the smaller areas over the last … [Read more...]
When Crafting doesn’t go according to plan….
I've said this before and I'll probably say it again but I am NOT a creative person.It's not that I don't try though - it just seems like the harder I try to make something pretty, the worse the end result is. It's like I got missed out when they were giving out the creative genes (I also missed out on the cooking genes and the green finger genes but hey ho) and things more often than not turn out looking very different to how I pictured it in my head before I started.But before I show you this week's crafting fail, I would like to point out that Miss Frugal and I often do a little … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {24th June 2016}….
1) This is one of those thing that isn't frugal but is at the same time but basically Miss Frugal has been getting a monthly subscription box called Birchbox for about four months now and she LOVES it! We pay half each for it and it's quite good value for money in my opinion although I'm not usually a huge fan of these types of boxes generally. That's the non-frugal part....The frugal part is that I encourage her to review everything she receives in her monthly box as she gets points which translates into money that she can spend in the online shop. The points add up quite quickly … [Read more...]
20 Surprising ways that Pinterest can help you win at life….
I'm a pretty recent convert to Pinterest but now that I'm starting to get the hang of it, I'm hooked. You can use it to find inspiration, ideas and help for just about anything and the guided search option makes it so easy to find exactly what you're looking for.

Create your own personalised family travel map….
Miss Frugal has definitely caught the travel bug after our little break away to Cyprus recently! She seems to have developed a real love of travelling and visiting new places, something I want to encourage in both of my children because it's so important for them to learn about the world around us.She's started her own little travel journal to record the places that we've already been and she's been asking me for one of those personalised family travel map you can get where you scratch off the places you've been (like these). Rather than buy one of those for her, I bought a small … [Read more...]
