Instant Pot Spaghetti is not only easy to make in no time at all but it also tastes amazing and no-one will ever believe that it literally takes two minutes to put together!So, before you read the recipe for this super tasty, super easy recipe, I do have a little bit of a confession. 😋As much as I'd like to say that I use my homemade tomato sauce for this recipe, I'd be lying because I actually cheat and use a ready-made jar of pasta sauce. I fully support cooking from scratch but lately, I just haven't had the time to enjoy cooking all that much so I try and take a … [Read more...]

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.

This homemade reed diffuser is super simple to make, costs next to nothing and can be customised to match your home and your own favourite scents!You know I love a good DIY when I get a chance so today, I wanted to share my homemade reed diffuser with you. I mentioned it a few weeks ago in one of my five frugal things post but I'd only just made my first one and I wanted to make sure it was worth sharing before I blogged about it. I wasn't convinced that it was going to actually last long enough that I could smell it for more than the first hour. 😂 It's really impressed me … [Read more...]

Homemade flatbread is amazing because it's so versatile as well as being so easy to make that my children can do it on their own. We have homemade flatbread with soup, made into mini pizzas, we use them as pocketless pitta bread filled with lovely fillings, as burger buns, wrapped around hot dogs, with scrambled egg and bacon on - you name it, we've probably served it with a homemade flatbread.We've always made this by hand rather than in our breadmaker for no other reason than it just feels like more of a rustic kind of recipe that should be made by hand and not by … [Read more...]

If you're anything like me then you're craving a little bit of organisation and normality after the madness of the last four or five months.I want to get back to normal and not feel as disorganised as I have over the last few months but I'm finding it … [Read more...]

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. Hey! 👐 I started to write this week's post and decided it was a bit boring with most of the money-saving things that I've done this week being very much the same as what I've done for the last three months so I thought I'd do something a little bit different. I wrote a post on Sunday about how self-care is super important for people who are working from … [Read more...]
