Even the note on the invite to tell you to dress your children in their old clothes won't bother you … [Read more...]
Magnetic Children….
Master Frugal is bit of a fussy eater but one thing he's always enjoyed is cereal. Until today that is, thanks to his older but not wiser sister.Me: What do you want for breakfast - your usual?Master Frugal: No thanks, can I have toast today please. I'm not eating cereal anymore.Me: Why? You love cereal!Master Frugal: I used to but then I found out that it was made of metal and I don't want to snap my teeth.Me: What?Master Frugal: Miss Frugal says the cereal has metal in it - she read it on the box. So we're not eating it any more.At this point, Miss … [Read more...]
Is a bit of healthy competition really such a bad thing….
You know that old saying.... It's not the winning that matters, it's the taking part that counts .... Well, if I'm honest, I'm not entirely convinced that it's true - surely a bit of healthy competition is good for children and prepares them for a life which is more than likely going to involve competing with others for something they want at some point.Don't get me wrong, I don't want to teach my children to be ultra competitive little people but I do think that there is a happy medium that will teach them how important it is to not only be a good loser but to learn the even more … [Read more...]
Saturday is Caption Day – 30 June 2012….

Considering the price of it and the fact it was delivered to her by a very handsome looking waiter, I would have expected a little more.... something! … [Read more...]
More growing up decisions to make….
Miss Frugal knows her way round a computer better than I do.From an early age, both my children have been given access to computers and the internet (obviously while sitting with me) and we've gradually progressed from sites like CBeebies to their current favourites, Moshi Monsters and Club Penguin.We use a lot of educational sites that our school recommend and her weekly homework is often internet based so lately we've spent time together learning how to search for information and images. I've also spent time showing things like how to use Word and how to send e mails (so she … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Hands….
I was torn this week between a picture I took ages ago and one that I took last week when we were on holiday - so I decided on a two for one special today ;-)This is the one I took last week - I ordered waffles and strawberries for breakfast and naturally, like any blogger would do, I got out my camera to take a photo before eating it. From pressing the button to take the picture to the picture actually being taken, this little hand appeared, helping itself to my breakfast!Here's the other picture I wanted to share, brother and sister holding hands and looking after each other. I … [Read more...]
