We're in week two of the Easter Holidays here and as I predicted last week, the school holidays played havoc with the meals I had planned. We didn't even have the traditional Easter Sunday roast as we were having too much fun in the garden to come in and make it. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that it was replaced by a picnic lunch and fish finger sandwiches for tea. ;-)Anyway, let's see if we can stick to this week's plan.... MondayI'm trying to make homemade Doner Kebab for tea tonight which could go either way. If it works, I'll share the recipe and if it doesn't, then it will … [Read more...]
10 ways to make sure you always take a great selfie….
I'm the first to hold my hands up and admit that I HATE having my photo taken but a couple of years ago I decided to try and be on the other side of the camera a bit more to make sure that when the kids look back at photos of their childhood they see me alongside them. I do try and make an effort with them and there are now a lot more photos of me with them than there used to be!If you're like me and you hate having your photo taken then it's likely that you're rarely going to LOVE a photo of yourself especially if someone else is taking it. I much prefer to take a selfie because I have … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {3rd April 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. Not massively money saving but this morning we walked into town instead of taking the car - only about a mile and a half each way but we saved petrol and car parking and even more importantly, we had a lovely catch up while we were walking.2. We decided to make some homemade bracelets using the beads we bought off a lovely lady on our local Facebook selling site. The beads were a massive bargain at just £12 for two big bags of them - there are literally hundreds, all as pretty as these:We've now got some last minute Birthday gifts ready … [Read more...]
10 ways to keep kids active….
We all know how important it is to make sure that children are active on a regular basis, don't we?Some children are naturally active whereas others (like my two) need a little more encouragement so when it comes to making sure that my two get as much exercise as they need, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I try to make things fun for them and most of the time, they exercise without even knowing that they're doing it.See for yourself....Scooter Fun - they have so much fun at the local skate park but just as much fun scooting around the park or in the street. Trampolining - we … [Read more...]

Welcome to Wednesday's Wardrobe! In case you missed me telling you last week, Wednesday’s Wardrobe is a weekly linky that I'll be hosting with two fantastic bloggers, Emma and Sarah. I hope to be sharing lots of clothes bargains with you over the coming weeks but today I want to talk to you about the cost of clothes.I know people who spend a fortune on clothes for their children and whilst I don't necessarily think they're wrong for doing so (their money, their choice), I do know that you definitely don't need to spend much money to make sure your children look and feel great in what … [Read more...]
Cheesey Broccoli Egg Muffins….
After last week's mini egg omelettes success I thought I'd try making them again but this time I made them with the intention of using up some broccoli and grated cheese that was left over from when I made macaroni cheese with broccoli and bacon last night. They were even more delicious than last weeks version!Don't worry, I'm not going to share a different egg muffin recipe each week - this one was too good not to share though.... Cheesey Broccoli Egg Muffins 4 eggs (beaten with a splash of milk and seasoned) Broccoli Grated cheese Leftover ham if you have someGrease a … [Read more...]
