The moment I took the photo below was the moment I realised that Miss Frugal was a more confident and happy traveller than I am. We had just navigated our way across Heathrow to get from the gate where our internal flight landed to the gate where our flight to Los Angeles was departing from and she led the way the whole time.I was panicking about the short connection time we had, whether I'd need a wee while the seatbelt sign was on, if the passports were still where I'd put them in my bag, and whether the people in the posh seats would be dressed up smart (we got upgraded at the gate) but … [Read more...]
Essential Oil Mermaid Bath Bombs….
I'm loving sharing my little DIY projects with you lately and I've been dying to share the essential oil mermaid bath bombs with you since Miss Frugal made them a few weeks ago.Miss Frugal went through a bit of a phase where she'd spend most of her pocket money in Lush on those expensive bath bombs that they sell for anywhere between £3 and £5!I have a rule where I try not to interfere with what the kids want to spend their own money on because I don't think they'll learn if they're simply doing what I tell them to do when it comes to money. Does that make sense?So even … [Read more...]
Review: 9/11 Museum, New York…
Visiting the 9/11 museum in New York was one of the most sobering experiences of my life and it took me a while to process the things I saw and heard in there.The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is a memorial and museum in New York City commemorating the September 11, 2001 attacks, which killed 2,977 people, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed sixI've been wanting to tell you about our visit to the 9/11 museum in New York for a while but every time I started to write up a review, I stopped because I don't think any words could ever convey the emotion … [Read more...]
Chocolate Packed Lunch Cake (between 9p and 11p per slice)….
I've shared a couple of versions of my packed lunch cake over the years but I thought I'd share the cake I've just made with you as it was not only super tasty but at 11p per slice, it's really good value.I first started making this when my two were in junior school as the rules guidelines set by the school at that time were that chocolate and bought cakes were frowned upon but a little piece of homemade cake was acceptable if it was part of a healthy and nutritious packed lunch. I wanted to make something that was a small-ish portion size, that could be cooked in bulk at the … [Read more...]
Win a giant faux fur beanbag….
If you've ever wanted a giant fluffy faux fur beanbag in your life then today, I'm sharing the perfect competition for you.It's been a while since we've had a competition on here but a couple of weeks ago, the team at Bean Bag Bazaar asked me if I fancied reviewing one of their bean bags and at the same time, running a competition to give one away to one of you lot too.I said yes because we really needed some extra seating in our living room and I've been umming and aahing for a good 12 months now over what it is we want in there. We basically have a big sofa which should … [Read more...]
What my teenager did when she couldn’t get a Summer Job…
We live in a small seaside town so when Miss Frugal finished school, she was pretty confident that she was going to be able to get a Summer job. Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy as she decided to have some time to relax after her exams before she started applying for jobs. By the time she got herself into gear, she was a good few weeks behind everyone else with the job-hunting which means that, as of today, she is still jobless.Luckily she's not one to give up that easily and decided that if she couldn't find a job, she'd make one of her own!So, the weekend … [Read more...]
