Most parents like the idea of being able to leave a legacy behind for their children. This can give them the spark that powers them for the rest of their lives, with things like houses and savings being great gifts to someone who is only just starting in the world.

Christmas ‘Something I want, Something I need’ Wishlist {Free Printable}….
I'm not usually a fan of the 'Something I want, Something I need' style wishlists but this year is a little bit different so I'm not only changing my opinion but I'm actually sharing a downloadable version for you...In case you don't know what kind of list I mean, it's the style where your child gets to choose 'Something I need, something I want, something to read, something to wear and one thing I'd love'. The idea is that all being well, you'd only buy five gifts for your kids for Christmas.I've been pretty vocal in the past about how much I dislike this style of wishlist - I … [Read more...]

As you'll know if you're a regular reader, I've really tried to focus on giving gifts that are more experience-based (spa days, mascot … [Read more...]

2 meals from one – Mexican Pasta Bake and Instant Pot Enchiladas…
So, last week I made a big batch of Mexican style Mince that I then made into a Mexican Pasta Bake for tea on Thursday with the leftovers transformed into super quick Instant Pot Beef Enchiladas for tea on Friday!I thought you might like to see how I make my Mexican Style Mince and then a couple of the ways that I turn it into meals - I absolutely love it made into a pasta bake and regularly make a giant pasta bake just so we can eat it for lunchtime leftovers too! It's one of those meals that's absolutely made for batch cooking because it freezes so well and it's also one where you can … [Read more...]
