I've haven't really been on the ball with these posts lately I'm afraid as real life has taken up way more time than normal and I've struggled to find the time to blog as much as I would have liked to! Anyway, things seem to be settling down now and I read a really interesting thread on Facebook last week that I wanted to share with you to see what your thoughts are on the subject so here I am.Basically, someone asked for advice on what she should tell her children when she couldn't afford something and opinions were pretty much evenly split between being open and honest and just … [Read more...]
10 kitchen gadgets you absolutely don’t need and 5 that you actually do need….
I'm going through a massive de-cluttering phase at the moment and the kitchen is definitely the biggest job. Honestly, you should see my cupboards now - let alone before I started the mammoth task of de-gadgeting my kitchen!Here's my ten gadgets that I can absolutely live without....A Quesadilla maker I'm not even joking when I tell you that Mr Frugal bought me this for Christmas a few years ago because HE loves it when I make Quesadillas. A cupcake maker Yes, I know. Waste. Of. Money. It was a bargain buy though as it was reduced to something like £3! An electric … [Read more...]
Who doesn’t love a Post-it note….
As you may already know, I'm a bit of a stationery-holic and I love anything stationery related! Miss Frugal is following in my footsteps and has *almost* as much stationery as I have - she even has a drawer just for her notepads!Earlier this week when we opened an envelope filled with post-it pads, I'm actually not sure who squealed the loudest although Mr Frugal assures me that it was definitely me! The reason we received such an exciting (to us) delivery is because I've been asked to take part in a bit of a challenge to explore what the written word can mean to … [Read more...]
#EmbraceHappy – Me, Me, Me….
When I heard about the lovely Karin's idea of #EmbraceHappy I signed up straight away as it sounded like a great idea - finding happiness every day! Then I got busy and didn't really have the chance to join in as much as I'd like to but last weekend, I realised that I really do want to join in more because I think I need it. It's April already and between work, school and various bugs that we've all been suffering with, I don't feel like I've achieved very much this year and I certainly don't feel like I've had too much time to do the things that I want to do.So, April is … [Read more...]
A Classic Day out with the Family….
When I saw the Ugg Australia 'Classic Day Out' competition, I knew exactly what we would pick as a family as our favourite day out - a day at London Zoo!We love London Zoo, despite living at the opposite end of the country and I think we've been every year since we first visited about four years ago. We have a special reason to visit the zoo now as we adopted a monkey for Master Frugal last year for his Birthday so he likes to go along and make sure the keepers are doing a good job looking after his baby, Bounty. Last year when we were in the monkey section he found … [Read more...]
Five reasons why I love being a Mum….
I could sit here all day and tell you why I love being a Mum but I still wouldn't be able to tell you them all because there really are that many. As it's Mothers Day today though, I thought I'd share just a few of the reasons why I love being a Mum....The unconditional loveCake, cake and more cakeThe 'obligation' to go to concerts to see your their hearthrobs.An excuse not to go on rollercoastersSeeing places through their eyesWhat's your favourite thing about being a Mum? … [Read more...]
