Despite having the last week off work, as of this morning I hadn't done the majority of things on my week off 'to do list' (Yes, I really did write one ;-)) As I'm back at work tomorrow, that left me today to do it all.... Top of my list was to sort out more storage for Master Frugal's room as he has the smallest room in the house with enough toys and books in there to fill five rooms. Ages ago I'd bought some colourful storage crates and some shelves to put them on but I hadn't got around to building them as I couldn't face the mammoth task of sorting the toys out when they were built and … [Read more...]
An Explosive Get Crafty….
When I saw that the theme for the latest Get Crafty was water based crafts, I immediately thought of this. Even though it doesn't use water and it isn't even really a craft, it is lots of fun so I'm going to pretend it is a water craft anyway ;-)The Fun Bit....All you need to make an explosion like ours is a large bottle of Diet Coke (you can use other fizzy pop, but Diet Coke has the best results) and a packet of mint flavoured Mentos.Place the opened bottle of Diet Coke on a flat surface outside away from anything you don't want to get wet. Make sure all little people are … [Read more...]
Silent Sunday – 24 April 2011
Ridiculous….
Miss Frugal likes to think of herself as a very stylish 8 year old. She has a big box filled with handbags and purses (she must be one of the only 8 year olds around who has a Radley purse) and she has more pairs of shoes than I have. She's quite a girly girl and loves to wear dresses, skirts and anything else pink or sparkly. Although I often don't love her clothes choices, she has her own style and I encourage that wherever possible by letting her choose all of her own clothes.I'm quite laid back about the clothes that she wears (she'd say the opposite) and she does have a few … [Read more...]
How to make Club Penguin Puffle cakes….
Have you ever wondered how to make Club Penguin Puffle cakes? No, me neither, but when the lovely people at Club Penguin said they wanted to send us all of the ingredients along with the instructions to make some, the kids squealed and jumped up and down until I accepted their offer ;-) You see, my two are HUGE Club Penguin fans, in fact, only today we've had massive excitement when Miss Frugal's penguin reached Ninja Penguin status which is a very big deal if you are 8 and 6! Yesterday, our long suffering postman brought us our Club Penguin parcel so by half past nine we were making Club … [Read more...]
Our Girly Weekend in London….
A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to be invited to London Zoo for the day by Vosene and although we were all invited, I decided to leave Master Frugal at home with his dad and just take Miss Frugal for a girly weekend. The purpose of the Vosene event was to let us know that they are on the hunt to find the Vosene Family of 2011. Basically, each month they are focusing on a different value such as, sharing, belonging, fun, time together and trust and they're be asking families to upload a photo and up to 100 words on what that means to them. Once uploaded, your family and friends get to … [Read more...]
