Fakeaway Slimming World Meatzza….
OK, you're going to need to bear with me on this one because I absolutely know that a Slimming World Meatzza (which is essentially a pizza with a meat base rather than the usual dough base) doesn't necessarily sound the most appetizing meal in the world.

They've made me smile all week as I love having fresh flowers in my house whenever I can.2) These two … [Read more...]
How Intentional Spending can change your life….
Have you heard of intentional spending before? It's something I first wrote about back in 2016 but it's been on my mind quite a bit lately so I thought I'd share some more thoughts on what intentional spending means to me and how I make it work for our family so we can do more of the things we love to do.Basically, intentional spending (to us anyway) is about consciously thinking about what we spend our disposable income on and allowing ourselves to spend our money on the things that will make us feel fulfilled and happy - either individually or as a family. We cut … [Read more...]
