I've been busy this morning making pretty things (AKA some lovely Motivational Quote Wall Art) and as a thank you to all you lovely readers, I thought I'd share what I've been up to with you so you can have some pretty too.I got so many messages about how much you all liked the 'Throw Kindness Like confetti' quote wall art that I made for Miss Frugal's wall that I thought I'd make some motivational quote wall art for you too. I'll be honest though, I struggled to narrow the quotes down just four quotes as I do love a good motivational quote - I even have a private pinterest board … [Read more...]
Five Amazing Free Daily Planner Printables….
Five Amazing Free Daily Planner Printables to help keep you (and me) organised!June was a super busy month for us here and if I'm honest I really struggled to keep on top of everything that I wanted to do which means I ended the month feeling a little bit like I'd failed.My problem isn't necessarily that I have too much to do (although a couple of extra hours in the day would come in handy), it's more that I've not been great with my time management recently and I feel like I often put things off until later, which as we all know is not a great way to get things done!July is … [Read more...]
How to encourage children (and grown ups) to ‘think before you speak’….
We've all heard the saying 'think before you speak' but sometimes, it's easier said than done!Have you ever opened your mouth and instantly regretted the words that have come out? I know I have and I can think of at least one example in the last month where I've said something and instantly wished I could take back. And if it's that hard for me as an adult, just think how hard it is for children to be careful of what they say!With this in mind, I saw a poster this week which I really loved and wanted to share it with you today because I think it's a great way to help children (and … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan {2nd May}….
This time yesterday I was lazing in the sun with a (non alcoholic) cocktail in my hand waiting for a lovely Halloumi and ham salad to be delivered to my sunbed while I made the most of the last few hours in the sun before we left Cyprus to travel home. This morning I've woken up to grey cloudy skies, a mountain of washing and a week's worth of meals to plan!I'm actually quite looking forward to planning this week's meals if I'm honest - mainly because I've had a week off from my Slimming World diet thanks to our all inclusive holiday and I can't wait to get back on it again. The food in … [Read more...]
Beautiful love quotes to print out and give to the person you love….
Do you and your partner 'do' Valentines Day?We don't and haven't for the last few years to be honest - not because we can't be bothered or because we don't love each other but because we don't think that a card and a bunch of flowers on one day of the year really means as much as showing each other how much we care all year round.Don't get me wrong, I love a bunch of flowers every now and again but honestly, I'd rather spend the money on something else and so would Mr Frugal. If you add it up, the cost of a card each, a small but nice bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates would cost … [Read more...]
How just 15 minutes on a Sunday can make the rest of your week so much easier #{Free Printable Weekly Planner}….
I'm not a naturally organised person so I genuinely need as much help as I can get in that department.Over the last few months, I've got into the habit of spending a little bit of time on a Sunday night getting organised for the week ahead and it's really helped me so I thought I'd share my Sunday night planning session with you all.First of all, I print out a copy of my weekly planner and sit down and write down who needs to be where and when - this includes working hours, early finishes at school, after-school clubs and parties. Just doing this helped me massively as Mr Frugal works … [Read more...]
