A Photo Collage….
Exactly a year yesterday we were in Disneyland Paris. It was an absolutely perfect trip, there were no tears, tantrums or moods the whole time we were there and we all have fantastic memories from the five days we were there.Last night we decided to pop to Asda with our magic USB stick and print out loads of the photos we took during our trip. We then came up and cut them all up! The kids made a little photo collage each of the best bits of the holiday and I think they turned out really well....This is Master Frugal's with all his favourite pics.... And this one is Miss … [Read more...]
A trip to the park….
Despite the fact that it was like the artic outside today, we decided to have a walk to the park and feed the ducks. One of the geese took a particular liking to Miss Frugal....Which was all very well until she ran of bread....Then it started to have some sort of psycho fit.... Unfortunately, the next part of our adventure at the park wasn't photographed. This would be due to the fact that said psycho bird attacked us and chased us down the path! I can tell you that my body is not made for running and I have probably not moved as fast since I spotted a little monsters … [Read more...]

Do Little Girls Grow up too Soon….
Right, I apologise in advance as this subject has been blogged about all week but as a mother to a seven year old, very feisty, very independent seven year old little girl,I wanted to add my thoughts to the subject. The 'Do little girls grow up too quickly?' debate seems to stem from those now famous pictures of Katie and Peter's little girl, Princess, wearing false eyelashes and from Suri Cruise being hailed as a mini fashion icon. In my opinion Katie Price has crossed a fine line, not with putting false eyelashes on her daughter but by sharing the pictures on a public domain … [Read more...]
Every Parents Worst Nightmare – Bullying….
Even before I had children I worried about bullying. In fact all through both pregnancies I had nightmares about it and I never ever wanted to hear that either of my beautiful babies were being bullied.So you can imagine how I felt when Master Frugal came home on Thursday and told me that a little boy (known as Brat here on in) had been told off for bullying him that morning. He said that he was sitting on his chair eating his breakfast when Brat walked right over to him and pushed him off his chair and then shoved him out of the way. He said that the teacher told Brat off but he didn't want … [Read more...]
