Last September I wrote a bit of a bucket list filled with things I wanted to do or achieve during the Autumn months. I round it quite motivating and as I did quite well and got most things ticked off I decided to do a bit of a bucket list at the start of every season.I cheated a little bit though and split Winter up and did a separate one for Christmas as I had so much I wanted to do in December alone so today I want to share with you my (rest of) Winter bucket list:Someone did mention to me that they thought that a bucket list was just the same as a New Years resolution but I … [Read more...]
Is Meal Planning one of your New Years Resolutions?
Every year in January, I see a massive surge in page views of all of my meal planning posts. It then dips a little bit in February, a bit more in March and by April they're back to normal again. This could indicate one of two things - either lots of people give up meal planning after a few months or they get so good at it that they no longer need to be searching for information on it!I'd like to think it's the latter but it's more likely that people tend to give up for whatever reason. I asked a couple of people who I know started meal planning last year and stopped within a few weeks … [Read more...]
My New Years Words….
I can't believe how quickly 2014 has flown by!It feels like only yesterday that I was sat here reflecting on how fast 2013 went by and making a list of my goals for the year and here I am again doing the same thing for 2015.I'm doing things a little bit differently this year though because as much as I like a good New Years Resolution, I can be a little bit over ambitious and set targets for myself that I am unlikely to achieve. This year I'm choosing a few key words that I want to focus on and although I'm not going to bore you with the specifics, I have lots of ideas for each area … [Read more...]
Perfect Presents for Dads….
I just realised that I wrote a gift guide for tween and teen girls (based on Miss Frugal) and one for boys aged 9 ish (based on Master Frugal) but I haven't done anything for Dads.Dads are the hardest people to buy for if you ask me - my Dad gets a bottle of port and a big slab of blue stilton every year without fail as that's all he wants and as boring as it may be, at least I know he'll enjoy it.Mr Frugal isn't as easy to buy for though - he doesn't like experience days or things like that, he's not big on clothes (unless it's a football shirt), he likes his music but usually buys … [Read more...]
Have an attitude of gratitude – the Christmas edition….
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I love a good list and wouldn't be surprised in the least to hear that somewhere in early November (may have even been October) I sat down and wrote a list of Christmas crafts and activities that I was going to blog about. I had one thing to write about for ever day leading up to Christmas and I planned to fill my evenings with crafting, baking and other Christmassy activities.But then the 1st December finally arrived and I readied myself for the marathon month of posting and suddenly, I didn't feel like it. I decided that I didn't want to fill my … [Read more...]
Reindeer Dust….
No matter how old you are, if you want to wake up to presents on Christmas morning you really should be sprinkling some reindeer dust on your path on Christmas Eve to help the reindeers find their way to your house! ;-)Reindeer dust has always been on of our favourite Christmas Eve traditions and I know I've told you about it many, many times so I'm not going to bore you with how you make it today, although you can find out here how we make it if you're interested.What I wanted to tell you today is that I've set up a brand spanking new Pinterest board with ideas on how to make your … [Read more...]
