I don't know about you but I feel like the whole body confidence movement has exploded this Summer (in a good way obviously) and it's been so lovely to see women of all shapes and sizes learning to accept, if not love, their own bodies. There are some wonderful bloggers championing the cause (Molly Forbes on Instagram is particularly inspiring) and it feels like more and more women are becoming more comfortable with their bodies, wobbly bits and all, which can only ever be a wonderful thing, can't it?I'm not quite there yet myself but I'm trying my hardest and I definitely feel more … [Read more...]
September 2018 Goals….
Oh my goodness, this year is just flying by, isn't it?I feel like this year has been a bit life-changing for me and, although I'm not going to get too deep today, I've spent a lot of time over the last few months reflecting on my life and trying to decide what I want and where I want to be.I've also spent time with Mr Frugal discussing what we want, as individuals, as a couple and as a family and for the first time since we got married, we actually have a life plan. We actually have specific goals that we want to achieve and ideas on how we're going to get there and that feels … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {31 August 2018}….
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, I do want to 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 - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.We were on holiday for half the week this week so my … [Read more...]
How to make a wonderful school memories book for your children….
I read a conversation somewhere on line yesterday where a Mum was asking how people store their children's artwork and other special things that they make and it reminded me of this post so I thought I'd give it a quick dust off and rehare it with you because I used to hoard their creations so much that I had boxes full of it.For years we had an ever-changing art gallery on the kitchen walls which was so popular when I posted about it that we were featured in a newspaper sharing our little gallery with the world.We'd stick up the new art and put what we took down in our art box but … [Read more...]
My secret to packing my carry-on bag for flights….
If all goes well, as you read this I will have just taken off on our family Summer holiday so I thought I'd do a kind of 'what's in my hand luggage' kind of a post today.First up, my bag is genuinely my husband's worst nightmare as it doesn't have a secure fastening and he's convinced someone is going to help themselves to everything that's in there which is why I'm not allowed custody of the tickets, passport or money. I'm only allowed my Macbook as it's got things on top of it so it's almost impossible to steal that without a good rummage around in there. Also, it's hidden at the … [Read more...]
Is FOMO messing with your budget?
FOMO = Fear of missing out!FOMO might be an acronym that many of us had to Google in order to understand what on earth our children were talking about (or is that just me?) but it's actually a very real thing that may have been messing with your budget for years.Let's look at a couple of examples so you see what I mean...A group of your friends are going to the cinema to see a film and out for a meal or drink afterwards. You're a bit skint but don't want to be the only one going so you go along even though you could really use the money elsewhere.Your friend's hen night … [Read more...]
