A couple of years ago, I shared some photos from our visit to the lovely Wynyard Hall gardens but because of the time of year we visited, the gardens weren't at their best. Today, I wanted to share some pictures of the gardens in the Summer...A couple of week's ago on Instagram, I shared a post about how much I'm enjoying taking photos of all things plants and flowers lately. It appears that Miss Frugal not only read this post but actually took note because yesterday, she actually got up early and suggested that we head to Wynyard Hall Gardens for the morning - just the two of … [Read more...]

How much does prom really cost? Read on and I'll tell you the real cost of prom for us...As you might already know, last week was Miss Frugal's prom which is a night she's been looking forward to since she was in junior school.
