She's been at it again!Miss Frugal loves making homemade beauty treatments and over the last few months I've shared her homemade lip scrub, lavender and oats bath soak and her beautiful lime and ginger body scrub. Today she spotted an avocado in the fridge and decided that she was going to make herself a face mask.... Avocado and Honey Facemask 1 avocado 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon of water (you could use lemon juice but Miss Frugal has sensitive skin so we went with water)It's really easy to make, you just mash the avocado and give it a good mix!It keeps for a couple … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {11th September 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I've filled one of the drawers in my garage freezer with reduced breadbuns that I bought for 1p a pack in Tesco. They're the small pre-sliced Warburtons buns and the pre-sliced hot dog buns and they're brilliant to have in for packed lunches! I just get one out on a night make the sandwich while the bun is frozen and then pop it in a sandwich bag in the fridge overnight and it's perfect when he goes to have it the next day!2. On the subject of reductions, we had a whole meal for three of us for just 65p from the reduction bay this … [Read more...]
What I want my children to achieve this school year….
After a lovely Summer, the kids went back to school last Thursday looking very smart with big smiles on their faces although they had no intention of smiling for our annual back to school photo - I think I'll be lucky to get them to even pose for one next year!We talked about what they wanted to achieve this year at school and it surprises me (although it really shouldn't) that the things they want to achieve are completely different to the things I want for them this school year. Miss FrugalMy beautiful almost-teenager would like to get a level 7 grade in maths, skydive and have an … [Read more...]
Get fit the fun way….
Did you know that 10 minutes of jumping on a trampoline is the equivalent of a 30 minute jog?That’s an amazing fact if you ask me and considering Miss Frugal spends at least half an hour every single day on our trampoline then there’s no wonder that she’s so fit – I could do with spending some time on it myself. ;-)But as much as I value the health benefits of our trampoline, that’s not what makes me love it so much, it’s the pure enjoyment I see on both children’s faces when they’re out there together that makes me happy.They play on it whatever the weather and I’ve often … [Read more...]
Delicious Lemon and Blueberry Muffins….
Last week I mentioned that I'd made some lemon and blueberry muffins using some reduced fruit that I'd bought at the supermarket near me and I had a few requests for the recipe I used so I thought I'd share it with you today....

Can you freeze cupcakes and muffins?
A few years ago I would have laughed at you if you'd told me that not only would I have a big bag filled with homemade muffins in my freezer but that I would also be baking specifically to keep that bag topped up but these days it just normal to me.I often bake muffins on a Sunday and freeze most of them before we're tempted to eat them all (we would given half the chance) and then every night when I'm making lunches for the following day, I just get one out and pop it in the packed lunch box where it will defrost overnight ready to be eaten at lunch the next day.There's lots of … [Read more...]
