Overnight Oats is my new favourite breakfast! It's filling, tasty and thanks to the fact that you make it the night before, it's also super quick on a morning when I'm rushing about. I can even pop it into my bag and eat it at work if I'm running late (which I often am). You can even make it Slimming World friendly.Overnight oats are something that I've heard about so many times both from fellow mums who want an easy breakfast option and from friends on Slimming World who swear by them for an easy but filling breakfast.Until a couple of week's ago, I'd never tried them because … [Read more...]

Intentional Spending – Learn to Truly Choose Happiness….
Have you heard of Intentional Spending before?Until recently, I’d never actually heard the phrase intentional spending but even without hearing it, it’s been something I’ve done ever since we started on our frugal journey.If you don't know what intentional spending is then I'll give you a quick heads up - it basically means to spend money on the things that make you happy and leave you feeling fulfilled. You can cut down on one area of spending to give you more money to spend in another area of your life.Like many of us, I try to live frugally to save money but my reason for … [Read more...]
Camping for beginners – our experience and a free camping checklist….
The title of this post really should read - Camping for beginners - our experience and a free camping checking list so you remember everything we forgot.... Apparently that's too long for Google though so you got the shortened version instead. ;-)We're not experienced campers and weren't particularly well prepared for our camping trip a few weeks ago so after I came back, I decided to write a list of everything we took that was worth taking (we took a lot). everything we should have taken that we needed (also a lot of things) so that our next camping trip is a little easier.I know … [Read more...]
Getting married at Gretna Green – how to organise a wedding on a budget….
I'm pretty sure I've shared my wedding on a budget story with you before but I've just been going through my boxes of family photos and it made me feel all warm and fluffy so I thought I'd share with you today how we planned our wedding on a super tight budget and hopefully you'll agree that you don't need to spend a fortune on a wedding to have a long lasting and happy marriage.We didn't really plan on getting married when we did to be honest although we were engaged and we did have plans for a slightly larger wedding somewhere down the line. At the time, we'd been together almost five … [Read more...]
Super easy zesty green bean and feta rice salad #LoveYourLeftovers
I'm not a great cook but I do like to experiment in the kitchen and often find that the best recipes happen totally by accident. This delicious zesty green bean and feta rice salad came about as I had some leftover rice that I wanted to do something to that would make it interesting enough to take along to a BBQ we'd been invited to.I only used what I had in (hence the green beans instead of the peas that I had thought of using first) and considering how delicious his was and how many compliments I got on it, I think it worked out really well. Zesty green bean and feta rice salad 600g … [Read more...]
