I know my timing's a bit off with this (well it is for me - your skies might be bluer than ours right now) but I wanted to share a few ideas with you on how you can keep cool on a budget when the weather is too hot to be comfortable!Keeping cool on a budget is something we know a lot about as our house can be super warm in the Summer months and over the years, we've definitely learned a thing or two about the things we can do that will help - even just a temporary reprieve from the heat is welcome and if we can do that without having to switch on the energy-sucking fans then … [Read more...]
Simple homemade blueberry syrup recipe….
This simple homemade blueberry syrup recipe is just what you need in your life this Summer!I first made this homemade blueberry syrup a couple of years ago after having pancakes with blueberry syrup drizzled on them when we went to LA for a week. It was so tasty that I wanted to recreate it when I got home so after a few attempts with various different recipes and methods I found online, I came up with my perfected version which was amazing on my homemade pancakes.

How to dry rose petals….
When I did a Google search for how to dry rose petals, I got all sorts of complicated instructions that felt like a bit too much faff for what I wanted. I tried a couple of methods with no success as you'll see below but in the end I mastered it - by using the microwave of all things! ;-)Anyone who regularly reads my weekly five frugal things posts will know that I love a good bunch of reduced flowers from the supermarket to brighten up my kitchen snd regularly manage to find some bargains at the end of the day in our local supermarkets.

Four Ingredient Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies….
These Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies are super easy to make, taste amazing and even more amazing is the fact that they only use four ingredients that you'll probably have in the house already!I love a good simple recipe and this is just about as simple as it comes - and the best bit is that the finished cookies taste anything but quick and easy although I should say that they don't look like picture-perfect cookies if you make them anything like I do.They're perfect for the kids to make and if you have older kids like my two, they'll have the recipe memorised so they can whip up a … [Read more...]
