Last week we were sent a copy of the brilliant Incredible Edibles book (you know the CBBC series where they eat yucky things) to review. To a mini mad scientist in the making like Master Frugal it's apparently the most awesome book ever. This week we've been trying some of the experiments in there and we decided to show you our favourite one. It's my favourite because it's (almost) mess free and can be done with things you would usually have lying around the house and it's the kids favourite because they can do it all themselves and there's a big bang at the end!In case you didn't get … [Read more...]
Unusual Places to read a book….
Our school have been setting us some unusual challenges recently.The letter we got last week instructed us to take a photograph of our child reading in an unusual place! After a few failed attempts (including a climbing wall and the sea), we ended up with these pictures....Now on to this weeks challenge - we have to decorate an egg and take care of it for a week! A whole week without it cracking is highly unlikely considering ours have already been on the trampoline because they wanted to play out. We also have to write a diary for our eggs and take our fragile friends to visit … [Read more...]
Cupcake Sunday – Peanut butter brownie cupcakes….
These are my favourite cupcakes so far by a mile - you can tell just by the name of them that they're going to be yummy and I guarantee you won't be disappointed!Peanut Butter Brownie Cupcakes The recipe for the brownie batter I use is here - it's the one I use for brownies all the time but I wouldn't add the chilli if you're using it to make these cupcakes.

Pearlgate – My worst Christmas present ever….
Is it too early for a post with a Christmas tree in it? There's a fine line between being thankful that someone you know has gone to the time, trouble and cost of buying you a present and absolutely hating the thing you're given and wishing that they had bought you something that they know you would have liked. After all, they must know me reasonably well, if we're buying gifts for each other.I only buy gifts for people I care about so I put a lot of thought into what I'm going to buy someone. I like the satisfaction of knowing that they're going to love what's inside the … [Read more...]
Saturday is caption day – the one with the big green ugly guy….
Miss Frugal has a lucky escape not long ago when we met this big fella at Madame Tussauds! Luckily, he realised that it wasn't advisable to mess with a pre-teen mass of hormones and left her alone ;-)Now it's over to you, leave a comment with your funniest caption for this photo and then go join in with the rest of the Saturday is Caption Day posts by visiting the linky over at Mammsaurus’ blog. … [Read more...]
Remembering….
Last week would have been my brother's 44th birthday.It's been eight years now since he lost his long battle with cancer and I still miss him every single day.I could tell you how perfect a brother he was, but I'd be lying.But that doesn't change the fact that he was my brother and it's not fair that he died so young.I'm angry that it happened to him and that he wasn't one of the lucky ones who beat cancer and I'm sad that I don't have my big brother any more and the children don't have their uncle around to see them grow up and his little boy doesn't have a Dad. I'm even … [Read more...]
