In my mind, I have a lovely Summer planned which will allow me to successfully juggle my work and my blogging as well as making sure that I have more than enough time to spend with the kids enjoying long lazy days in the sunshine.Whether that actually happens or not is another matter but I'm going to have a good go! ;-)I shared a post last week about how I cope with the Summer Holidays as a working mum and manage working AND family time AND blogging without having a nervous breakdown. I wanted to follow on from that post a little bit this week and share some of the things that I use … [Read more...]
DIY Sunglasses case….
I think I *may* have mentioned a few times that Miss Frugal and I both have a little bit of a sunglasses obsession. ;-) She has all sorts of pairs ranging from bargains to designer brands which she buys from places like SmartBuyGlasses UK online (she loves a good deal) and there's a couple of pairs in her collection that she's saved for ages to treat herself to so she always shops around. ;-) Have I ever shown you my teen's sunglasses collection. I think she gets her obsession from me :-) 😎 A post shared by UK Thrifty Family Blogger (@frugalfamily) on Feb 22, 2017 at … [Read more...]
#InstaThrifty – a new community on Instagram….
Instagram is my absolute favourite social media platform (as long as we're not counting Pinterest :-)) and it's definitely my favourite way to waste spend the odd few minutes throughout the day when I have some spare time!I love the little glimpses it gives me into what's going on in other people's lives and sharing little snapshots of what's happening in my own life but lately, with the new crazy algorithm I've not been enjoying it as much.I'll open up the app and instead of seeing recent posts, I'll see ones from the day before because Instagram thinks I'll like them better! I see … [Read more...]
Five Amazing Free Daily Planner Printables….
Five Amazing Free Daily Planner Printables to help keep you (and me) organised!June was a super busy month for us here and if I'm honest I really struggled to keep on top of everything that I wanted to do which means I ended the month feeling a little bit like I'd failed.My problem isn't necessarily that I have too much to do (although a couple of extra hours in the day would come in handy), it's more that I've not been great with my time management recently and I feel like I often put things off until later, which as we all know is not a great way to get things done!July is … [Read more...]
What to expect when you’re travelling with two teenagers….
I love travelling and discovering new places with my little family but one thing I learned after our recent trip to Milan is that our holidays now need to planned slightly differently to when the kids were younger.With Miss Frugal now at the grand old age of 14 and her brother slightly younger at 12, we've been through the years where they got along like a house on fire and actually enjoyed each other's company and the (thankfully) short phase where they hated the sight of each other. We're now in the much more comfortable phase where they manage to tolerate each other for the most part … [Read more...]
3 super simple tricks to help you save….
Our next holiday is coming up at the end of July and this time we're off to the Isle of Wight which is somewhere that we've never been before. Like all of our trips away this year, it's nothing flash but we are excited and we can't wait to go.We booked it last year and paid a super low deposit of just £25 which was great for us at the time as it was right before Christmas and we've been paying a little bit off each month since then. Now it's paid off in full we're starting to think about our spending money so I thought I'd resurrect and update a post that I first shared in 2012.It's … [Read more...]
