You know all those little jobs that mount up around the house that you always put off doing? Well, this year we've been having 'do-days' which is basically a name we made up for a day that we have every couple of months to dedicate to doing all those pesky little jobs. We had one of our little do-days last Sunday so I thought I'd share it with you because having these days every now and again has really helped us keep on top of things and if you're anything like us then it might help you too.And yes, I absolutely know that we should just do these little jobs as and … [Read more...]
My Batch Cooking Meal Plan {27th October 2019}…
It's Monday which means that it's time for #mealplanningMonday again! This week, I'm sharing our meal plan over here rather than over on Meal Planning Made Easy because it's a bit different to my normal plan - it's a batch cooking meal plan.What I mean when I say it's a batch cooking meal plan, I basically mean that I've planned a week's worth of meals based on the fact that I want to do some batch cooking this week so everything I've planned can (and will) be batch cooked so I'll be making one to eat on the day with at least one family-sized portion to go in the … [Read more...]
Sunday Snapshot: The one with the Special Starbucks Drink….
Have you ever looked through your camera roll on your phone and found a photo that's just too good not to share? It might be because it makes you smile as you remember a happy memory or because you're proud of how good the photo turned out.Sunday Snapshot is my new-ish regular-ish feature where I plan to share a photo I love with you...Over the past few years, I've had to listen to my Starbucks obsessed kids tell me how unfair it is that Starbucks in the US do way better drinks that Starbucks here in the UK. I know, not exactly a huge issue but one that's annoyed … [Read more...]
Hot Chocolate Cookies….
We first shared our recipe for these super cute little hot chocolate cookies back in 2013 and over the years we've made them again so many times. For some reason though, I've never got around to taking some new photos to replace the not-so-good photos that I took back then - probably because half of them 'disappear' as soon I take them out of the oven usually.Anyway, I've made a batch today ready for everyone getting back in from the football later on and because I actually had time to play before they get home and tuck in, I've actually managed to take a few photos. I've added … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {25 October 2019}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)1) I've done MORE overtime at work - this is turning into a regular on here but I'm … [Read more...]
The Five most important money lessons to teach kids….
Today I'm going to share with you the five most important money lessons to teach kids - something which has been on my mind a lot lately with the launch of the Family Budgeting Fink cards.As parents, we all want to make sure our children are as prepared as possible for the real world that they're going to be living in before too long! For me, with a 17-year-old in college and a 14-year-old fast approaching the end of his time at school, it's really something I'm trying to focus on. Budgeting Skills are vital. This is a huge one for me and I've written about it in detail before but … [Read more...]
