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.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)If you follow me on Instagram then you'll know that we were away on Monday and … [Read more...]
Review: Eco Thrifty Living Book….
It's not often I do a book review on here but then again, it's not often that a blogger friend writes a book that could have literally been written for me.Eco Thrifty Living is written by Zoe Morrison, who writes a popular blog by the same name. It's a blog that I've read myself for years and have already learned such a lot from so when I found out that Zoe was writing a book, I couldn't wait to read it.Zoe very kindly sent me a copy of her book over to have a read through and I'm so pleased that she did as I thoroughly enjoyed it. I know I would when I read the first … [Read more...]

Essential Oil Mermaid Bath Bombs….
I'm loving sharing my little DIY projects with you lately and I've been dying to share the essential oil mermaid bath bombs with you since Miss Frugal made them a few weeks ago.Miss Frugal went through a bit of a phase where she'd spend most of her pocket money in Lush on those expensive bath bombs that they sell for anywhere between £3 and £5!I have a rule where I try not to interfere with what the kids want to spend their own money on because I don't think they'll learn if they're simply doing what I tell them to do when it comes to money. Does that make sense?So even … [Read more...]

Eco Egg Review…
OK, it's been a while since I've done any reviews on here but when I got an email from the My Place Play Cafe offering to send me an Eco Egg, I decided it sounded intriguing enough to try and replied back with a yes please rather than my usual no thanks.Before I start, I should say that the reason I don't do too many reviews these days is that I'm really trying to cut down on 'stuff' in general. We're trying to be more sustainable and one way I decided to do this was to say no to reviewing things that I didn't need (or at least really, really want) when I was offered it.It's my … [Read more...]
