Tara over at Sticky Fingers has come up with a brilliant idea to encourage us budding photographers. Every week she will post a prompt to inspire a photograph and we can then share our photos with each other.This weeks theme is colour which I thought would be easy, but I couldn't think of anything original, until I remembered this photo.... I took it a few months ago at the ball pool and I love all the bright colours and how surprised Master Frugal looks that I'm taking his picture. Next week I promise I will try harder and actually take a new photograph to use! … [Read more...]
Mothers Day….
Happy Mothers Day everyone.I hope you've all had a lovely day, I can see from my blogroll that there are lots of Mother's Day posts for me to catch up on so I'll be off to do that soon.We've had a nice family day together and the kids are now in bed so I have a nice little glass of wine to chill out with while I watch Dancing on Ice (I know - I'm very sad). I tried to make a cute little mothers day video of the kids but it didn't turn out as cute as I wanted. You can hear Mr Frugal sniggering away in the background and near the end Miss Frugal keeps saying 'He's … [Read more...]
I’d love to be a child again….
I've just watched Miss Frugal make a new friend and it's made me think how much easier life was as a child. We only have a small fence between us and the house out the back of us as their house has only just been finished and Miss Frugal noticed a little girl in the garden from her bedroom window. She came downstairs, put her shoes and coat on and then went outside and pretended to be playing a really interesting game with her scooter. The little girl got closer and closer to the fence and after about five minutes she asked Miss Frugal what she was doing, Miss Frugal replied … [Read more...]
Birthday Party Blues….
Master Frugal is much happier at school lately, When I picked him up from school today, his teacher pulled me to one side and said that he is more like his old self now - he's more sure of himself and is joining in with things a lot more. I am so relieved because even though I know that it can be a big shock to some youngsters moving from nursery to full time school, I hated to think that he wasn't happy at school. It's his fifth birthday in a couple of weeks, I've booked him a birthday party at the Wacky Warehouse. I was going to have a nice frugal … [Read more...]
Children and Money….
We all want our children to grow up knowing the value of money and we all have different ways of helping them to acheive this. I've read few posts on this recently, including a really interesting post over at The Madhouse about how Mummy Mad teaches her two the value of money and it's really got me thinking.At the moment Miss Frugal gets £2.00 a week pocket money in exchange for sorting the recycling out each night and keeping our shoe cupboard tidy. She takes pride in these jobs as they are 'her jobs' and looks forward to getting her money every Saturday. She then puts it into one of … [Read more...]
The Barbecue Chicken Experiment….
Due to the boringness of my weekly meal plans, I set myself a bit of a meal plan challenge last week which involved me cooking a different meal each night. Thursday's new meal was barbecue chicken but Mr Frugal and I disagreed on how to make it so we ended up making two different versions and having a bit of a taste test at the end....My version was a chicken breast with barbecue sauce spread on top, wrapped in bacon and sprinkled with cheese:Mr Frugal's was a typical man mess:He wrapped his chicken in bacon and poured barbecue sauce all over it before … [Read more...]
