I know I've said this before but Master Frugal really is the fussiest eater you can imagine. Thankfully, he's starting to get a little bit more daring now and tonight we had a major bacon breakthrough ;-)I was cooking bacon and scrambled egg on toast for the rest of us and he came into the kitchen with his nose in the air like one of those old fashioned Bisto kids. He decided he liked the smell of bacon and asked if he could try some!As you can see, he wasn't impressed and ended up only having one mouthful before deciding he liked it 'a teeny bit but not enough to eat more than … [Read more...]
My top five favourite reasons to use Youtube….
1. Answering random questions Both my children are very curious about the world around them and they ask a lot of quite random questions about some very random things that I often don't have a clue how to answer.For example, last night Master Frugal asked us how fast a cheetah could run. Rather than saying 'fast' as I was tempted to do seeing as I was watching Dancing on Ice, I typed 'how fast can a cheetah run in to the Youtube search box. There were lots of results but I had a quick look down the list and saw that one video was called 'San Diego Zoo Kids' and was a video about … [Read more...]
#CookitBlogit – Peanut Butter and Nutella Brownies….
I bet you didn't know it was World Nutella Day on Tuesday did you? Seeing as it is, I decided it would be rude not to blog one of my favourite Nutella recipes and link it up to #CookitBlogit, which is the weekly recipe linky that Emma from Crazy with Twins and myself started last week. You can link up your recipe by popping over to Emma's blog and while you're there, you can check out the delicious looking pie that she's made this week!I'm pretty sure that World Nutella Day isn't an official holiday so we won't get the day off work or anything but least it's an excuse to eat Nutella (if … [Read more...]
#Teamhonk #Goodwork Happy 25th Birthday Comic Relief….
Today is the 25th Anniversary of Comic Relief.I can't even begin to guess how much good they've done in the last 25 years - how many lives they've changed for the better and how many children they've made smile.To celebrate the anniversary, Comic Relief are celebrating the progress of Africa and the difference that the money they've raised has made to people. #Teamhonk, made up of Annie from Mammasaurus, Tanya from Mummy Barrow and Penny from Alexander Residence are visiting four projects in Ghana on the 4th and the 5th February to see for themselves the difference Red Nose Day money … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan – the everyone seems to be poorly again edition….
I knew it was too good to be true.We managed almost a full week last week with not a cough, sneeze, ache or pain to be seen - until Saturday afternoon when poor Master Frugal announced he didn't feel very well and didn't feel like going out as we'd planned. He was shortly followed by his big sister and they spent the rest of the weekend snuggled in their pyjamas watching DVDs and playing board games.If it's anything like the last couple of times they've been ill since Christmas, they've got over the actual symptoms of the cold itself within a couple of days but they've had no energy … [Read more...]
Our week in pictures – week 5….
Another fun but busy week here....Dilemma in the Stationery aisle - they each had £1 each to spend and they both spent what seems like forever choosing what they wanted. We ended up with a lovely notebook for Miss Frugal and a dog pencil sharpener for Master Frugal (don't even ask where you have to stick the pencil to sharpen it). Trampoline bouncing is even more fun in the cold apparently! Mint choc chip cupcakes are just Mmmmmmmmm Shopping break. Because it's really hard following your brother around ToysRus choosing what to spend his pocket money on. Especially when you … [Read more...]
