Anyone need an Elf Adoption Certificate for their Elf on a Shelf? The world goes a little bit Elf on a Shelf mad at this time of year and if you're the same as me, you probably dread how everyone's Elf antics are going to fill your Facebook and Instagram feed from the 1st December right through to Christmas Eve. But... then I remember just how much fun my two used to have with our Elf on a Shelf when they were little. The smiles and anticipation on their faces every morning, when they came downstairs on a December morning, made all the faffing with our elf absolutely worth it.Which is why, … [Read more...]

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.

In reality, though, this can be more complicated than you might think, and it’s worth making sure that you start each step at the right time to get the … [Read more...]
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...]
Giving the gift of sleep this Christmas….
This post is in conjunction with TEMPUR®, but all thoughts are my own.I don't think anyone would disagree with me when I say that this year has been a challenge and I'm loving the fact that so many people are starting Christmas celebrations early to make up for it! 🌲.🌲.🌲. I'm not one of those people putting their tree up (not just yet anyway) but I am starting to think about what I want to give my family for Christmas. 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...]

Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐1) Right, earlier this week I shared my Mexican Style Mince recipe which I used to make a pasta bake and some Instant Pot enchiladas. What I didn't share in the post was the way I also upgraded some almost stale ciabatta bread when i was cooking the last batch.All I did was slice the ciabatta and layer it on top of the mince mix as it … [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...]
