Another month has whizzed past and it's time for my favourite post of the month again!It's not a very exciting post though I'm afraid. After such a busy month last month with trips to Wales, Leicester and Alton Towers, we've had a pretty quiet couple of weeks close to home to recover. We've still had plenty of fun though....I'm going to link this post with the fantastic Siblings linky and also the new Small Stuff linky that Jen has started over at The Madhouse. Both are great linkys for recording the little moments in life that make you happy. … [Read more...]
There’s nothing wrong with a bit of bribery….
If I think about it, I actually have a few ways of bribing the kids to do things I want them to do without them really realising it.I want them to read more but I want them to read because they want to read and not because I've told them to if you know what I mean. I'm trying to encourage them to love reading as much as I do and I don't think this will be achieved by standing over them and telling them they have to read for twenty minutes every night like the school tell us to do. So, we make reading reward charts for them to complete. Every time they read for twenty … [Read more...]
Review – Kia Sorrento….
I love my little car but it's not the most comfortable for travelling long distances in and the boot space isn't great so last month, when we went on our family trip to Wales we decided against taking our car and instead, we were very grateful to be loaned a Kia Sorrento for the week.The Kia Sorrento is a seven seater beauty and I'm not sure who was more excited to come home to see it parked on our drive - Mr Frugal couldn't wait to get his hands on the steering wheel, the kids couldn't wait to try out the heated seats and I was just happy to have the space to pack as much as I wanted for … [Read more...]
Thirty Thrifty Family Meals from around the web….
I've said this before and I'm pretty sure I'll say it again many times in the future but meal planning is definitely my favourite way to save money - it costs me less each week when I go shopping and saves me time each day as I know what I'm cooking.I wrote a guide over on my Meal Planning blog about what meal planning actually means and how I do it but it's not just about the planning side of things. You need to be able to stick to it which is where I've often struggled in the past - mainly because I get bored of cooking (and eating) the same things week after week but I find that a lot … [Read more...]
#WeLoveWales – by Miss and Master F….
In the two week's school holiday last month we went to Wales. We've never been to Wales before so we were very excited.After that, we stayed in a castle (Ruthin Castle.) At the castle,we saw some peacocks 3 males and 5 female.The males were trying to impress the women by showing their feathers and shaking them. We helped a member of staff feed them bread and they ate out of our hands. We liked that bit.The room was amazing, however, did you know we had our own room. It was right next door to Mam and Dad's room and we watched a cop show on the TV but then Mam … [Read more...]
#WeLoveWales – Our Day at Llyn Brenig….
I love travelling and exploring new places with the kids and we try to get away as often as our budget allows us to which isn't nearly as often as we like if I'm honest!As I've said a few times, we're planning to spend more time travelling in the UK over the next few years rather than going abroad so when we were invited to visit Wales for a few days last month we jumped at the chance. There are so many beautiful areas in our country that we want to explore and although we'd never been to Wales before, it's somewhere that we've said lots of times that we'd like to visit.Miss … [Read more...]
