Last Christmas I went to my friends house for a bit of a girls night and we had a lovely home-cooked meal, drank a little wine, did some Christmas crafts and then played board games for the rest of the night!I know, how rock and roll am I?One of the games we played was Rapidough and I loved it - as I was playing it, I was thinking how I absolutely HAD to go out and buy this for us to play as a family.The next morning however, when I was trying to describe how much fun it was to the kids, they just gave me a look and said it sounded a bit babyish! I tried to talk them round but … [Read more...]

#ThriftyThursday – How to make a homemade photo booth…..
We had a last minute 13th Birthday party for Miss Frugal last weekend and in true Miss Frugal style, she decided on a beach party theme (despite the fact that rain was forecast) and invited 12 of her friends to come round promising an afternoon of beach party fun.I'll be writing a little bit more about the party at some point but while we were planning it, Miss Frugal jokingly suggested that we hire a photo booth as she and her friends are keen instagrammers and all love a good selfie!Obviously that's waaaaay outside my budget so I decided to go with a homemade version which is what … [Read more...]
Delicious homemade Avocado and Honey facemask….
She's been at it again!Miss Frugal loves making homemade beauty treatments and over the last few months I've shared her homemade lip scrub, lavender and oats bath soak and her beautiful lime and ginger body scrub. Today she spotted an avocado in the fridge and decided that she was going to make herself a face mask.... Avocado and Honey Facemask 1 avocado 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon of water (you could use lemon juice but Miss Frugal has sensitive skin so we went with water)It's really easy to make, you just mash the avocado and give it a good mix!It keeps for a couple … [Read more...]
Homemade Lavender Sugar….
After our visit to the lavender farm earlier this week I found myself with a few bunches of lavender that I had bought with the vague idea of making lavender lemonade and lavender shortbread as I saw both of those on the menu in the tea shop at the farm.I'll be attempting the lavender lemonade tomorrow I think but today I've been making the lavender sugar in preparation for making the shortbread. It's really easy to make and certainly doesn't need an actual recipe because you basically just fill a container with sugar and mix a handful of the little lavender flowers in to it - roughly … [Read more...]
Mexican style cheese wrap with homemade salsa….
A couple of years ago I was trying to recreate a continental style breakfast like they do in hotels (can't for the life of me remember why though) and I came across a cheese in our local supermarket that looked a lot like the cheese you get served with so I picked up a packet.The cheese was Leerdammer and we enjoyed it that much that it's a regular in my shopping trolley now. It's brilliant to have in as it's so versatile - it's gorgeous on burgers, in a sandwich, melted in a toastie and even melted on top of chips on occasions.I'm not great at describing how things taste but if you … [Read more...]
Super Easy Homemade Iced Tea!
Personally, I can't stand iced tea and if you ask me, tea should only ever be served in a mug with milk and 1 sugar in it! There's no accounting for taste though as Miss Frugal has developed a bit of a taste for it and she loves making her own - she says it's delicious and so refreshing, especially in this weather!She's made a batch this morning which she assures me is delicious so I thought I'd see if there was anyone else out there who was an iced tea fan.It's really easy to make if you've never tried it. You basically add three tea bags into a largish jug (the better the quality of … [Read more...]
