Today's post is a bit of a round up of some of my favourite Unicorn crafts!I *may* have a thing about unicorns. I also may have a thing (that I only noticed when I was putting this post together) where I have to include the words 'Super Cute' in the title of pretty much every post about unicorns.To be honest, it's not really unicorns that I have a thing about, it's more the fact that you can go a bit mad with the pretty colours when you're making unicorn crafts and DIYs. I have a plan for a few more, including a unicorn sugar scrub and a unicorn smoothie but … [Read more...]
Bored Jars for everyone – from Tots to Teens…
At this time of year, my bored jar posts suddenly get very popular. ;-)I've written about bored jars a few times over the years since I started blogging and last week, I realised that I had one that was appropriate for pretty much any child from a tot to a teenager. It's because I've relied on them so much as my children were growing up because I can't stand hearing the words "I'm bored" but equally, as much as I've always loved doing things with them, I've not been available to keep them entertained 24/7.I wanted them to grow up enjoying spending time together as a … [Read more...]
Snickers Cookie Dough Bars….

Yesterday I made a batch of these little beauties and a batch of my homemade packed lunch cake so I'm hoping that should keep them and their friends happy for a … [Read more...]
An ‘Electronics Prison’ My Secret to an attitude free summer of good behaviour….
This month's 'Blast from the Past' post is one that I was reminded of this week when I had to threaten Master Frugal with confiscating his Xbox controller if he didn't get his room tidied. I remembered the electronics 'prison' that we made and used for a good few Summers and I thought with the long Summer holidays ahead of us that it was a good time to share again!My children are pretty well behaved most of the time and I rarely have cause to tell them off for anything more serious than a bit of attitude or tidying up after themselves.I know I'm lucky in that respect but … [Read more...]
Make a personalised Summer Holiday Bucket List for your Family….
I can't believe that the kids break up from school in a couple of weeks! That means that parents up and down the country have started to think about how they're going to entertain the kids for the long Summer break which also means that now is a great time for me to share this idea for you to make a personalised Summer Holiday Bucket List for your family.The Summer Holidays are a bit different for us these days. Miss Frugal left school last month and has plans to (hopefully) get a job over Summer so she can earn some money before starting college in September and both she … [Read more...]
Simple homemade blueberry syrup recipe….
This simple homemade blueberry syrup recipe is just what you need in your life this Summer!This homemade blueberry syrup is perfect for all your Summer cocktails and mocktails as well as being delicious as a syrup on pancakes. You can also use it as a yoghurt topping, poured over ice cream or even on waffles.My favourite use for it though is to add some to a mojito and make a blueberry mojito which is definitely my drink of the Summer!And don't forget, once you've strained out the blueberries, you can use them to make all kinds of things. I'd go for a good old blueberry … [Read more...]
