Special Things….
If I asked you to choose one cherished object from your house and write about it, do you think you could? Do you think you could choose just one thing? No, me neither! When I read that the prompt was for this weeks Friday Club was ' a cherished object in your home', I knew I was going to have problems narrowing it down and I spent last night wandering round the house with the camera round my neck. Thanks for that Ella ;-) Only joking - it's a great idea for a theme and I actually had a lovely night with Miss Frugal talking about our special things, she loves to hear the story behind … [Read more...]
No Wonder I’m Exhausted….
I've seen those signs you get for the back of your car that say 'Mum's Taxi' but I never thought that I'd need one myself ;-) We have activities every night of the week at the moment!I think I'm over compensating for the fact that until recently the kids didn't really join in with many after school activities.

Inspired by Jen, I went on a charity shop hunt for a glass cake stand and was … [Read more...]
How to be be a Cheap Date….
Seeing as it's Valentines day, I wanted to share the different ways that we enjoy time together as a couple without breaking the bank. I've learned that we don't need to spend a fortune to enjoy our together time and our relationship is definitely better because of the effort that we put into it. Our Wedding Cake Topper Some websites say the best ways to spend time together on the cheap are to go for walks together or have a nice romantic picnic - neither of which sound romatic or fun to me! I even read somewhere that you should give each other foot massages but I can't think of … [Read more...]
