Don't tell them I told you this but my children are generally pretty awesome and we have a great relationship. They constantly amaze me with the things they do and they genuinely make me proud every single day.That's not to say that they're perfect though and there are times when they misbehave and they need to be punished because no matter how rarely they're naughty, if I don't let them know that their actions will have consequences then I wouldn't be doing my job as a parent, would I?I don't shout at them when I'm punishing them (or at least I try not to) because when I do I … [Read more...]
#MoneyMondayUK – Financial Education for our children….
Last night was the weekly UK Money Bloggers Twitter chat which was all about financial education. It was a really interesting discussion and I was overwhelmed by the number of people who joined in to share their thoughts.Financial education for our children is clearly an emotive subject as so many of you shared your thoughts with us and although you'll be able to read a full write up on the UK Money Bloggers site in the next day or so, I wanted to share with you today what my thoughts were on each of the questions.... Q1 Financial Education is part of the curriculum now but are we doing … [Read more...]
Oreo Mint Chocolate Cheesecake….
Have you ever gone into the kitchen for something random like a glass of water and ended up baking something because a particular ingredient caught your eye and inspired you?I now you're probably shaking your head right now and thinking how mad I sound but honestly, last week I went to get a glass of water and spotted a pack of Mint Oreos on the counter. I'd bought them thinking the kids would love them but apparently Mint Oreos are 'just weird' and make all the other biscuits in the biscuit tin taste funny!So, I spotted the full pack of rejected Mint Oreos and decided that I'd make a … [Read more...]
Review: November Birchbox….
It's been a few months since Miss Frugal has done a review of her monthly Birchbox subscription box but she loved this month's box that much that she asked if she could share it with you.....Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics - Lip Tar Primer This is supposed to help keep your lipstick in place and looking good for longer which basically means it makes your lipstick stay on for longer than usual. It works and it feels really nice and doesn't feel sticky on your lips like some do. It smells minty because of the peppermint oils in it.Marcelle - BB Cream Golden Glow Illuminator This … [Read more...]
The Rose Gold Gift Guide….
I think I mentioned in my Teen girl gift guide that Miss Frugal was rather obsessed with all things rose gold at the moment (honestly, she is OBSESSED - everything from her phone to her trainers is rose gold right now).Anyway, I spent an hour this morning having a look around to see what stocking fillers I could get her that would satisfy her love of rose gold and I realised there was an awful lot of rose gold loveliness out there.I thought I'd make a little rose gold gift guide to share the prettiness with you all but I just wanted to make it clear that if a certain 14 year old is … [Read more...]
My can’t do without Blogging Tools….
People often ask me how I manage to fit in everything that I do blogging wise when it's not my full time job and usually when they do, I look at them and reply 'I just do' because I don't know what else to say.Maybe the fact that it's not my full time job and I'm not reliant on the income that blogging often brings helps me because I still get to do this for fun which means that I still love blogging but without the obligation as I don't feel pressure to earn money from it (although that's nice). It could also be because my children are a little older at 11 and 14 so on an evening when I … [Read more...]
