So far, I've shared what we did on the first three days of our budget trip to New York and today, I'm going to share our last full day with you. Trust me, it was a good day!Seeing as we did more than we'd expected on day 2, we'd actually ticked just about everything off of our New York bucket list by this point so I decided to go with plan b for today which was to head to the American Museum of Natural History.I was convinced the kids would love it as it looked like so much fun in the Night at the Museum films so, despite their protests, I put my foot down and told them we were … [Read more...]

So far, I've shared what we did on the first two days of our budget trip to New York and today, I'm going to share our third full day with you.If you've had a read of my first two posts (Day 1 / Day 2)  then you'll already know that our trip to New York was a bit of a treat holiday which we booked pretty last minute so didn't get the chance to save as much spending money as we would have liked but we made the best of what we did have and had amazing trip.We decided to head to Chelsea Market for breakfast on day 3 and because we didn't get along that well with our first attempt … [Read more...]

We've now been home from our amazing trip to New York for a few days now and I definitely have post-holiday blues right now so I thought today would be a good day to share our second day with you If you've had a chance to read my last post, you'll know was a holiday we booked pretty last minute so didn't get the chance to save as much spending money as we would have liked.  Day two of our trip was the busiest by far as we did two days worth of things in just the one day.  We decided to head to Dumbo in Brooklyn for our second day and rather than get an … [Read more...]

A couple of weeks ago, Miss Frugal and I went on a bit of a dream holiday to Los Angeles together and it was honestly an amazing experience that we enjoyed every single minute of.  It felt a little bit surreal if I’m honest because every day we saw so many things that we’d seen on TV and read about in books!Despite the fact we had such a brilliant time, we were both more than ready to come home at the end of the trip though as we ‘d been so busy for the entire week we were there that we were pretty exhausted and all as awful as this sounds we were all ‘wowed’ out.We’re both quite good … [Read more...]
