About three months ago I bought one of those collage photo frames to fill with some of my favourite family photos but I never got around to filling it with photos - mainly because my printer seems to have developed an issue where it prints a line, almost like a smudge, across the middle of my photos for some reason when I'm using photo paper.The only photo I have in there at the moment is one of me with my Mam and Dad from when I was about four....I was considering popping to Tesco or Asda and printing some photos out there using one of those instant photo printing machines but I … [Read more...]
Do Fidget Spinners and Fidget Cubes really work?
Fidget spinners and fidget cubes are the new craze that's sweeping through the nation (or at least through our little seaside town anyway) and I must admit that they're a craze I actually like.

My parenting tips to avoid teen angst and reduce conflict….
I am a pretty laid back parent and although I know my parenting style isn’t for everyone, there’s no getting away from the act that, at 12 and almost 15 I’ve had a pretty easy time so far over the tween and teen years.And before you say it, I know, I’m touching wood as I type!I know that I’m not going to convince you that my lack of screen time restrictions and my relaxed approach to bedtime are a good thing and that’s OK with me because what’s right for your children isn’t necessarily right for mine and vice versa.I don’t think I’m doing too badly though with Miss Frugal recently … [Read more...]
