Today I wanted to share a quick post to share a few ways to take some time for yourself when it seems like the world around you just doesn't want you to...There are lots of reasons why you might feel as if the world is against you taking back a little time just for yourself - it might be because there's so much going on with everyone around you, or that someone or something is demanding your attention more than normal. It could even be because you feel guilty about taking some time back just for yourself or that you feel you couldn't possibly squeeze in 20 minutes here and there as you … [Read more...]
Bloggers: How to upgrade your Camera Equipment without paying a fortune….
My love of photography started not long after I began blogging and even though I still haven't found the time to actually get good at taking photos, the equipment that I've been lucky enough to use over the years has given me a cheeky head start. Today I'm going to tell you about a discovery I made that's going to help you upgrade your camera equipment without paying a fortune!This is the point where I should tell you that this is not a sponsored post or even a review commissioned by the company I'm going to tell you about - they were genuinely recommended by a friend and I was over … [Read more...]
What we ate in a week {March 2018}….
Today I'm sharing the next post in my 'What we ate in a week' series!The plan with these posts is that I start writing this post the Monday before you read it each month and just update it each night with a photo of what we had for our tea that day.

She made chicken salad with boiled eggs which we ate served in wraps! TuesdayChicken Fajitas are a regular feature on our weekly menu these days but tonight Mr Frugal made … [Read more...]
25 ways to use up bananas….
One question that I've seen come up at least three or four times in our Facebook group is the question of how to use up bananas so today I thought I'd share a few ideas!Bananas are one of those things that I buy every single week when I do my food shopping. We all love them and as well as eating them just as they come, we also use them for everything from mashed on toast to sliced up on porridge.The problem is when they go from lovely bright yellow to brown speckled because the kids have a thing about eating them when they start to go like this (as do I if I'm honest). … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {23rd March 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.1) I made a huge (and I mean huge) batch of chilli last weekend with the intention of us having chilli and rice on Saturday night and then freezing the rest in batches so we had plenty in. I find chilli to be really versatile as it goes with rice and pasta, is great as a topping on jacket potatoes or potato wedges, works brilliantly on nachos and is perfect just on its own in a … [Read more...]
Forced Positivity Online….
Today's post is about forced positivity online which is a roundabout way of saying that it's about how some bloggers (and vloggers) only share the positive parts of their lives. Does that mean they're not being real with their followers or simply that they're choosing to only share what they're comfortable with sharing?A few months ago now I was pottering about making the tea and I overheard some snippets of a YouTube video that one of the kids was watching and it made me think.It was about whether YouTubers were forcing positivity on their viewers or whether they were portraying … [Read more...]
