If you saw last January's month favourites post then you'll know that I had a blogging re-think and decided to bring back a few of the things I used to enjoy sharing on my blogs so I started by bringing back my monthly favourites posts!February 2021 | Monthly Favourites Film/TV I rarely have much to say in this category but this month I've discovered how to get American Netflix and managed to finally watch a TV series that I've wanted to watch since I went to LA with Miss Frugal. We went to Warner Bros Studio and were lucky enough to get to spend some time on the set of a show that was … [Read more...]

What do you do when you have some bananas to use up and a bag of pistachios? Obviously, you make Pistachio and Banana bread! 😂This Pistachio and Banana bread is a great twist on what's become a bit of a classic recipe over the last 12 months here in the UK. It's easy to make, super tasty and gives you a chance to use up bananas that are on the turn! The only thing I will say is that shelling pistachio nuts is NOT my favourite way to spend a Sunday morning - honestly, my thumbs are still sore a couple of hours later!  And my 300g bag of pistachios ended up as just 100g of … [Read more...]

Why not give your hair a treat with this DIY moisturising hair mask which is perfect for dry hair!First of all, I should say that the main ingredients of this hair mask are avocado and banana which means there is no way that it's ever going to look pretty in any way.

This virtual scavenger hunt for kids is just what you need to help your children stay in touch with their friends during the madness that we're living in right now.I have two teenagers who are struggling with Lockdown 3.0 and they at least have a good understanding of why we're having to stay at home and not see our friends and family.  I can't even imagine what it must be like for younger children who won't really understand the reasons behind it. My two are able to keep in touch with their friends on Snapchat, Instagram and on Xbox and genuinely, if they weren't able to do that … [Read more...]

These super cute homemade baby milestone cards are the cutest way to record your baby's first year!I don't remember baby milestone cards being a thing when my two were little but I'm pretty sure if they had been then I would have been all over them as I would have loved to have recorded their little milestones!  I don't even think I did a proper baby book although I do have books that I made them both when they were toddlers that are filled with little funny stories about them which they love to look through every now and again.I think the cards are such a good idea but … [Read more...]
