Just like your Mum used to make….
Hi, my names Cass and I have a cook book addiction! When I get a new cook book, I hide it on top of the fridge until the kids have gone to bed, then I pour myself a nice chilled glass of wine, turn the TV off, lock the door and settle down to spend some time getting to know the new addition to my little cook book family. I read it from cover to cover, turning each page slowly, while imagining myself in my own kitchen preparing and serving the delicious creations that I'm reading about. Then, when I'm finished, I place it lovingly on my cook book shelf where it stays forevermore, … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Playtime (as chosen by a 7 year old)….
I love this weeks Gallery theme - Playtime. I could have spent all day going through my photos trying to choose just a few of my favourites to share with you but I thought that I would ask Miss Frugal to choose the pictures for me today and I'm quite surprised by some of the ones that she picked.So from a seven year old's point of view, our definition of playtime is a bit of cooking, a picnic, a game of crazy golf, some theme park rides and a soak in the paddling pool - oh I wish I was that age again! … [Read more...]
School Uniform Moneysaving….
I'm starting to get ready for the kids going back to school in September, we need new book bags, new packed lunch boxes, new shoes and new uniforms!!! There's no money saving to be done in the new book bags and packed lunch boxes as the kids are extremely choosy about what they want here, apparently, Miss Frugal could not possibly go to school with a plain pink packed lunch box as it's absolutely essential that she has the new Hello Kitty one that she's seen and as for Master Frugal, I tried to suggest he used the same Scooby Doo book bag and was met with absolute outrage. I have been … [Read more...]
Happy Memories….
Can you believe how fast July flew by? I've just had a nice half an hour going through all my July posts to write the little round up below and I've realised why I love blogging (apart from all you lovely people) - it's because what I'm making month by month is a lovely collection of memories for my children when they're older. It's so nice looking back over the things we've done and the things they've said and knowing that I have a permanent record of everything to show them when they're older. So, here's July's round-up of happy family memories:Miss Frugal has been delighting us … [Read more...]
Baking on the Edge….
English Mum is hosting a Bake Off and all month I've been meaning to bake something spectacular that would wow everyone with my Domestic Goddess-like skills. I was going to make my yummy, moist carrot cake or some lovely rich chocolate brownies that would guarentee to having you bowing to my superior kitchen prowess.However, the reality is that I left it till the last minute and I've ended up baking a plain old chocolate sponge cake, I've tried to make it look a bit fancier by adding some whipped cream and sprinkles ;-)So, Ladies and Gentleman, I present you with a chocolate sponge … [Read more...]
