Last night Miss Frugal and I had our own mini homemade spa evening while the men of the house were doing man things together (playing on the Xbox and painting little figure things).We started with a nice hot bubble bath where we washed each other's hair and made hairstyles with the bubbles. Then we painted each other's nails and used some chocolate face mask that we won in a tombola last week. And finally, we relaxed on the bed with cucumbers over our eyes.It was such a lovely night although I'm not going to lie - she spent half the night telling us we needed a hot tub and … [Read more...]
Let’s look on the bright side….
I know we haven't had much of a Summer this year but everywhere I go at the minute I hear people complaining about the weather and how cold it is (including me) so I thought I'd share my reasons for loving this time of year instead of my moans about why I don't like it....* I love the snuggly nights when it's cold and dark outside and we're all warm and cosy in the house.* I love the rainy afternoons when you can hear the rain against the windows but we're snuggled on the settee watching a film.* I love coming home and being able to smell our almost ready dinner in the slow … [Read more...]
Frightening (or not)….
This year Miss Frugal has decided that she doesn't want to wear a traditional Halloween costume - she'd much rather have a pretty one! I've explained to her that the whole point of a Halloween costume is to wear a spooky costume but she's not having any of it.She looks, in her own words, like a rainbow has thrown up on her!Even Master Frugal isn't that bothered this year, I had to twist his arm to get him to wear a mask let alone a full costume! … [Read more...]
Getting Active….
I try to encourage the kids to play outside as much as possible - in all weathers.The street we live on is quiet enough and they do enjoy scooting up and down the street on their scooters but with the nights drawing in I don't like them to go too far so it gets a bit boring for them. This is why I try and make our garden somewhere that they're happy to play and that their friends will enjoy playing in too.We've bought lots of things for them to play with - everything from footballs to cricket bats and from Swingball to a croquet set! The best thing by far that we have at the minute … [Read more...]
Mummy Mugshot – Me as a child….
I love the idea of the Mummy Mugshot linky over at life, love and living with boys.I have literally thousands of pictures stored on my computer and on various memory sticks around the house and I would say that until recently, there were probably less than 20 (if that) that have me in the same picture as the kids. I've started to take more photos with me in them lately though - I want to be a part of the memories that we make every day and not just the person behind the camera all the time.When I look at a picture of me, I see someone who needs to lose weight, get a haircut and wear … [Read more...]
My little superhero….
With Halloween fast approaching, lots of you will be thinking about costumes for the big day!In past years we've dresses as zombies, witches, ghosts, zombie brides, Dracula - even a giant pumpkin! But this year neither of the kids wanted to go for your typical scary Halloween style outfit. Miss Frugal isn't really bothered about trick or treating this year and isn't bothered about dressing up at all and as for Master Frugal, he wanted to dress up as a superhero.The problem is that all the shops are selling the more conventional Halloween costumes so there wasn't much around for him. … [Read more...]
