A couple of years ago, I used to have a regular Sunday post called Cupcake Sunday where I would bake a different type of cupcake every week and share it with you (if it worked)!But then somewhere along the line, I stopped doing it and around the same time, I kind of forgot just how much I love baking. Don't get me wrong, I still bake but it's more run of the mill things like packed lunch cake for the kids or special occasion Birthday cakes. It's the baking just for the fun of it that I miss so today, I thought I'd start again.I only went in the kitchen to sneak the Maltesers out of the … [Read more...]
Not my finest parenting moment….
I did something today that I'm not proud of.Something I said I would never do.I put my work ahead of my children and I'm so angry with myself.Basically, I took a day off work earlier in the week because Master Frugal had that tummy bug that's been doing the rounds. No problem there as my boss is really understanding about things like this.Fast forward to today, I'm back at work and he's back at school. I'm sitting at my desk when I notice my phone flashing up telling me that the school are calling.I answer the phone and the receptionist tells me that she has Master Frugal … [Read more...]
The carrier bag de-clutter….
I sometimes struggle to keep on top of the housework because is seems like as fast as I'm cleaning or tidying, someone else is dirtying and dumping!Everyone has their own jobs to do in the house but I'm having trouble getting the message through that if you're finished with something, put it away or in the bin.If I'm honest though, it's not just the kids. I'm just as guilty of leaving things lying around or not throwing things out when I should.A quick look around now, shows me some sweet wrappers that Miss Frugal left when she went to school this morning, some tissues that Master … [Read more...]

Crocktober – the third week….
We're still enjoying taking part in Crocktober but I'm starting to run a little short of ideas now so it looks like Google is going to be my friend this week. ;-) MondayWe had beef stew on Monday although I got a bit potato happy with it and it looks in the photo like it was actually potato stew! It was delicious though and tasted really nice with some home made Yorkshire puds! TuesdayLast nights beef stew leftovers went in a pie although I strained most of the gravy off so the pie wasn't soggy. The gravy was heated up separately and poured over the pie. Don't tell anyone but … [Read more...]
Have an attitude of gratitude….
Every week for about the last six weeks, I've read Polly's lovely 52 weeks of gratitude post and every week I've commented to say how lovely her post was and how important it was to be grateful for the small things in life. I've probably even said a few times that I would be joining in and writing my own but I've never got around to actually doing it until today.This is my favourite time of year and I love that the nights are drawing in - we had a gorgeous walk on the beach in the dark one night last week and we loved it. It turns out paddling in the sea is even more fun in the dark … [Read more...]
