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...]
Make an Apron (Simple Version)
Today we made matching aprons for baby Isabella and her mummy, Miss Frugal.I should explain that Isabella is the doll that Miss Frugal got for Christmas, she crawls, walks, cries and even has temper tantrums. Apparently she needs an apron for when they are cooking together in Miss Frugal's bedroom!Now I am not talented or in any way good at sewing and some of you may well cringe at the basicness of this but all I did was cut out a rectangle and make the bottom corners look a bit rounded. Then I cut out two long ties and pinned them the top corners of the rectangle.It took Miss Frugal a good … [Read more...]
Jammy Buns….
Miss Frugal has just made Jammy Buns for us all. I've made them with her a couple of times before (see here) but today she decided that she was now grown up enough to make them on her own. She put her little pinny on and managed to weigh out the ingredients all by herself (good job there's not many lol) so she's feeling quite proud of herself. Her three cousins have just been round and she made them all sit at the table to try one - She would have been gutted if they hadn't liked them! I know they don't look much but they taste gorgeous. … [Read more...]
A Frugal Nature Walk
We decided to follow Make Do Mum's example and still go for a walk even though the weather is really crap outside. We got so wrapped up that you could only see our eyes poking out of the gaps and set off with Miss Frugal clutching her new camera tightly.To be honest, it was cold, wet and the only nature that we saw was a bloody big bird that stared at us while we walked but we still enjoyed ourselves and Miss Frugal took loads of photos. These are her favourite photos....Thanks very much for your other ideas Make Do Mum, now I've got plenty to be going on with for the rest of the weekend. … [Read more...]
Make a Wish Book….
I hope the snow doesn't last much longer - I am running out of things to keep the kids entertained....I made a 'Wish Book' with Miss Frugal today (Master Frugal was quite happy on the Wii). We cut out about 12 circles out of coloured card and Miss Frugal wrote a different wish on each of them - all things that she wants to do or places that she wants to go to.She spent ages thinking about each wish and carefully wrote each one down. After we had done about 10 we punched a hole in each one and tied them together with some ribbon. Some of the things she wrote down were:I would like to go … [Read more...]
