Free Halloween Printables (and some other Halloween Inspiration)….
Halloween is just around the corner and with half term coming up, I thought it was a good time to reshare these three free Halloween puzzle printables that I made a few years ago.They're perfect for keeping the kids occupied for a little while, especially on those cold, wet October days when you're stuck indoors and looking for something to do that doesn't involve spending money or putting them in front of a screen.I originally made these when my two were younger and loved doing little activities like this. They're both grown up now and definitely far too cool for Halloween puzzles, … [Read more...]
Have an organised Christmas with my amazing FREE Christmas planner printable….
My free Christmas planner is back for 2026 and, considering how much I love a good list at this time of year, I’m actually quite excited to bring this one back. 😂I know some people will think it’s far too early to start thinking about Christmas, but for me this is exactly the right time to start doing the little bits that make December feel less chaotic. I’m not talking about having everything bought, wrapped and organised by the first week of November, because that is absolutely not happening here, but having one place to keep track of everything does make a massive … [Read more...]
10 Family Days Out for Under £10 This Autumn….
Autumn is probably one of my favourite times of year for getting out and about as a family because you really don’t need to spend much to have a good day. Give me a chilly day, a big jumper and somewhere with lots of crunchy leaves and I’m happy. 😂Over the years we’ve done loads of little Autumn days out that have cost us next to nothing, so I thought I’d share a few of our favourites. Most of these are completely free and even the ones that do cost something should easily come in at under £10 if you take your own drinks and snacks with you.1. Go for a leaf collecting … [Read more...]
What is Life360 and is it safe for kids?
Life360 is one of those apps I'd heard mentioned plenty of times without ever really knowing much about it. I knew it had something to do with sharing your location, but beyond that I wasn't completely sure what it did or why families were choosing to use it.Then something happened today that made me realise exactly why it can be useful and it's impacted me so much that I've stopped what i was doing to write this post.Earlier in the day, I got a Sky News notification about a horrific crash that had killed seven people, including two police officers. I get Sky News alerts fairly … [Read more...]
How we make our holiday budget work for us….
We love going on holiday and it's something we're very happy to spend money on. In fact, one of the reasons we try to save money throughout the year is so we can afford to travel and have more holidays, so when we do go away we want to make the most of every minute.That's a big part of why saving money on holidays, for us, isn't about finding the absolute cheapest deal or spending as little as possible once we're there. There's not much point spending all year saving towards a holiday and then refusing to spend money on the things that would make that holiday better.Instead, we try … [Read more...]
