These Bored jars could well save your sanity this Summer!Sick of hearing the kids say 'I'm bored'? Had enough of them playing on electronics all day? Going loopy at the thought of having to entertain them for another day?Well, this post could be just what you need!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.

Homemade Memory Jar – perfect for you or to give as a gift…
Today, I'm sharing a homemade memory jar idea which I thought would be a perfect gift - either to yourself and your own family or to another family you know.A homemade memory jar is actually a really cheap gift to make but it's a super thoughtful gift that any Mum would love and if you prefer, you can up your gift game by adding some extras to go with it if you'd like to make it even more special. It would be such a great Secret Santa gift as well! I'm really lucky in that I've been blogging since the kids were younger so I have my blog and Instagram (and about a million … [Read more...]

30 days of Frugal Autumn Activities – perfect for Social Distancing….
If you're looking for a Frugal Family Autumn Activity which is perfect for social distancing then this is the post for you as I have 30 ideas right here!Autumn has always been one of my favourite times of the year - these days it's more because I love the fact that I can snuggle in warm comfy jumpers, drink hot chocolate with marshmallows in and burn as many candles as I want to without someone telling me it's a waste of a good candle because it's sunny outside (yes, my 17-year-old judges my life choices constantly). 😂When the kids were a bit younger though, it was because I … [Read more...]
Real Fruit Juice Gummy Bears…
Real Fruit Juice Gummy Bears are my new favourite thing! Read on to find out why and how to make your own...First up, the reason why I'm a fan of these real fruit juice gummy bears is that Master Frugal has been unwell lately and one of the things that his doctor has said is that he has super low iron levels. We've got some quite strong iron supplements from the doctors and been told to concentrate on increasing his iron levels and to help that, she recommended that we try and up his vitamin C levels too as that really helps with iron absorption.

Five of my Favourite Super Cute Unicorn Crafts….
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...]
