So, earlier this week I told you about the start of my lovely weekend away last weekend and today, I'm going to tell you about the main event - the blogging retreat that was hosted by the amazing Tots100 team.I'm naturally quite shy and because of that, I generally avoid these types of events but after loving last year's UK Money Bloggers conference as much as I did, I decided that leaving my comfort zone every now and again was a good thing. Mr Frugal treated me to the weekend as part of my Christmas present and ever since I found out I was going I've been torn between excitement at … [Read more...]
20 Fun and Frugal Hobbies for you to enjoy….
I'm a strong believer that everyone should do something that they enjoy doing to relax them but I'm well aware that lots of hobbies cost money so I wanted to give you a bit of an idea of what frugal hobbies you can do that won't break the bank - some of them might even make or save you some money as well as bringing you enjoyment.I've written about how I try to create every day before because just a few minutes of creativity makes me happier but it doesn't have to be every day - just taking a few minutes when you can to do something you enjoy will definitely have a positive effect on … [Read more...]
A Perfect Weekend…. {Part 1}
Last Thursday, I boarded a plane at Newcastle airport and set off on a bit of a journey - a journey that would not only take me to the other end of the country but one that I hoped would help me to begin the healing process after my Dad passed away last month.I'd originally planned a cheeky weekend away at the Flea Retreats Blogging Weekend which was a gift from Mr Frugal at Christmas but after my Dad died, I was very tempted to cancel the weekend entirely. In the end, after some convincing from my lovely little family, I went the other way completely and booked an extra night away at the … [Read more...]
‘Things are Looking Up’ Essential Oil Roller – will help with Depression, Stress and Anxiety….
Today I'm sharing an essential oil roller which I believe will help with depression, stress and anxiety. It's certainly helped me to get through the last couple of weeks which have been pretty awful with my lovely Dad passing away.Over the last year or so, I've been enjoying learning a little bit about essential oils and the effects that they can have on your moods. I've learned that they can be energising (peppermint oil), relaxing and calming (lavender), uplifting (bergamot) as well as stress relieving (frankincense) and my homemade sleep spray using essential oils was such a … [Read more...]
16 Vintage Crochet Patterns…
OK, I'll start this post by holding my hands up and telling you that I cannot crochet to save my life! However, when another blogger offered to share some of her free vintage crochet patterns with you, I thought it was something that might interest a few of you. You might have noticed that over the last month or so, Saturdays have more often than not been round-up posts of some other great content from around the internet. There's a couple of reasons for this which I'll explain now before I get into today's vintage crochet pattern round up. ;-)Firstly, I have lots of ideas for things … [Read more...]
Dear Dad….
As you read this, I'll be at my Dad's funeral saying goodbye to the man who's been there for me since the day I was born. It feels like a good day to share this letter that I wrote to him the day after he died.I wasn't planning on sharing it as it was simply a post that I wrote to make myself feel better by getting it all out but as I thought about writing a post to share with you today, it just felt right to share this with you.Dear Dad,I can't believe you're really gone, that I really held your hand last night as you took your last breath last night.It doesn't feel real … [Read more...]
