As you may already know, I'm a bit of a stationery-holic and I love anything stationery related! Miss Frugal is following in my footsteps and has *almost* as much stationery as I have - she even has a drawer just for her notepads!Earlier this week when we opened an envelope filled with post-it pads, I'm actually not sure who squealed the loudest although Mr Frugal assures me that it was definitely me! The reason we received such an exciting (to us) delivery is because I've been asked to take part in a bit of a challenge to explore what the written word can mean to … [Read more...]
#EmbraceHappy – Me, Me, Me….
When I heard about the lovely Karin's idea of #EmbraceHappy I signed up straight away as it sounded like a great idea - finding happiness every day! Then I got busy and didn't really have the chance to join in as much as I'd like to but last weekend, I realised that I really do want to join in more because I think I need it. It's April already and between work, school and various bugs that we've all been suffering with, I don't feel like I've achieved very much this year and I certainly don't feel like I've had too much time to do the things that I want to do.So, April is … [Read more...]
A Classic Day out with the Family….
When I saw the Ugg Australia 'Classic Day Out' competition, I knew exactly what we would pick as a family as our favourite day out - a day at London Zoo!We love London Zoo, despite living at the opposite end of the country and I think we've been every year since we first visited about four years ago. We have a special reason to visit the zoo now as we adopted a monkey for Master Frugal last year for his Birthday so he likes to go along and make sure the keepers are doing a good job looking after his baby, Bounty. Last year when we were in the monkey section he found … [Read more...]
Five reasons why I love being a Mum….
I could sit here all day and tell you why I love being a Mum but I still wouldn't be able to tell you them all because there really are that many. As it's Mothers Day today though, I thought I'd share just a few of the reasons why I love being a Mum....The unconditional loveCake, cake and more cakeThe 'obligation' to go to concerts to see your their hearthrobs.An excuse not to go on rollercoastersSeeing places through their eyesWhat's your favourite thing about being a Mum? … [Read more...]
Happy 9th Birthday….
Dear Master Frugal,I can't believe it's been nine years since we were blessed with you - our little Ginger Ninja as you like to call yourself ;-)I want you to know that you make me proud every single day! Sometimes on a night when you're asleep (usually snoring like your Dad), I sneak into your room and just stare at you and wonder how on earth I got lucky enough to have you as a little boy. I also want you to know that I will be keeping the recording of you snoring and playing it to every single girl you bring home along with showing them the photo of you … [Read more...]
Thank you….
Blogging is something I do because I love doing it.It started off as a way to record my family's journey through life with some money saving ideas thrown in and it turned into something much, much more. Now, as I look back over the pages of my blog and see my children growing from small cute little people into gorgeous young people who I'm proud of every day, I can see all of the things we've done together as a family - some things that we would never have had the opportunity to do if I hadn't started this blog.I can also look back at the posts where I hope that I've … [Read more...]
