DIY Folded Paper Envelope Tutorial….
I'm actually not here right now, I'm having my annual mother and daughter long weekend away with Miss Frugal and hopefully, I'm having a great time. We've done something similar for the last couple of years and the men (well one man, one boy) of the house are more than happy to stay home without us and talk football and gaming without us rolling our eyes and changing the subject to something we actually understand. ;-)I will miss them though and as I always do, I'll Facetime every day and stay in touch as often as possible by text message but this year I've done something extra as well as … [Read more...]
Fifty things I want to do in my life {Free Printable}….
I'm absolutely not going to get all morbid here but something's happened lately that's reinforced my belief that life really is too short and that you never know what's going to happen from one day to the next. I'm not going to go into detail about what's happened as it's not really my story to tell but needless to say, it's made me think about life in general and all of the things that I want to do while I can.Because I love an excuse for a good list, I've spent some time writing down everything that popped into my head when I thought about the things I'd like to experience. It's an odd … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {7th April 2017}….
By the time you read this I'll be in New York with Miss Frugal enjoying (hopefully) our long awaited holiday so it's probably not going to come as a huge surprise that today's post is New York themed with each of my five frugal things having something to do with our trip.1) First up we have toiletries! Miss Frugal wanted to go and buy some of the cute little travel sized bottles of everything from deodorant to hair spray and from shampoo to toothpaste but they seemed very expensive compared to their larger sized versions. To give you an idea of what I mean, Sure deodorant is £1.20 for a … [Read more...]
DIY Freezer Smoothie Packs {And six of our favourite Smoothie Recipes}….
Last week I briefly shared my DIY freezer smoothie packs in my 5 Frugal Things post but I wanted to tell you a bit more about the smoothie packs today because I've seen similar things popping up in shops more and more lately and mine are a LOT cheaper!We all have smoothies regularly, especially for breakfast when we're in a rush, but fresh fruit definitely makes them an expensive option if we're not organised with our little smoothie packs which we make in bulk every now and again. We make our packs using reduced fruit from the supermarket, frozen fruit and fruit from our fruit bowl … [Read more...]
Isn’t the whole ’empower your daughters’ campaign just a little bit sexist?
I've seen lots of coverage recently of various campaigns designed to empower our daughters and to encourage them to grow up into strong women who know they can achieve anything they want to achieve in life.And as the parent of a 14 year old girl, I wholeheartedly agree with this campaign, I really do!I even started writing an entirely different blog post to this one with my thoughts on what we can do to encourage our daughters to be the very best they can. I got as far as making this little blog graphic to go with the post before something dawned on me....I realised that there … [Read more...]
