Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)I feel like this week is the first week this year where life in our house has been calm, or … [Read more...]
Soothing Homemade Vapour Rub….
It's that time of year when everyone seems to be suffering from sniffly noses and sore throats! I thought it was probably a good time to share my amazing homemade Vapour RubLast Christmas (not the one just gone, the one before) we were all chock full of cold from the weekend before the kids broke up for school until well into January - possibly February if I remember rightly. The kids especially were coughing so much that even when they had the energy to actually get dressed and do something, I was reluctant to let them venture outside as the cold on their chest brought on coughing … [Read more...]

Eight Essential Pinterest Strategy Tips….
Last year I was lucky enough to spend some time with the lovely Pinterest team at their HQ in San Fransisco! It was a fantastic trip and I learned so much that I came home determined to put everything into practice. I did get started on implementing some of the things I learned but life got in the way and I never got around to most of them - in fact, I didn't have much (any) time for Pinterest for most of last year but it's one area that I do want to focus on in 2019 so I've been reviewing my Pinterest to do list and I thought I'd share some basic Pinterest Strategy Tips to get the … [Read more...]
Batch Cooking – One afternoon, twelve family meals….
Batch cooking is something I promised myself I'd get better at this year so, on Saturday, I had my first batch cooking session in ages and now have twelve meals in our freezer ready to use - just think how much time that's going to save me.
