Ever since the kids were born I have kept a memory book for them, anything important or special thats happened to them has been stuck in their book and they love looking through them every now and again.We have just been having a look through them and having a good laugh at the pages in each book where we have written down some of the funny things that they have said so I thought that I would share some of them on here:* Grandad, you need to get the Dr to mend your belly cos its very big!* Daddy, will you scratch my willy for me....?* Look at all the stuff we just nicked!

Homemade book update….
So much for tomorrow's activity of making books.... Little Miss frugal just caught sight of the instruction video and 'just had' to make her book tonight....She also didn't like my suggestion about the book being about what we had done in the summer holidays and much preferred to make hers about a princess who lived on the beach. Excuse the spellings, she is only six.... And the reason that she has a mood on in the last pictures is that she thinks that she drew 'The End' too big and didn't want me to take a photo of that bit. We had fun making it but Master Frugal is in bed and I don't think … [Read more...]

Recipe for home made play dough….
The six weeks holiday are here again and for those people with kids, you'll understand my dilemma with how to keep them occupied for the next month or so.My first idea is home made play dough, which should keep them quiet for a couple of hours. I always find it keeps them quieter if we have a theme when we are playing with play dough, like a shop and all the things we make go in the shop. Then when they're bored with making things they can play shops with the things that they have made. Homemade Play Dough Recipe 2 cups water 1 cup salt food colouring 4 tsp. cream of tartar (you can … [Read more...]
Homemade ice lolly recipes (for kids and for grown ups)….
Its so hot outside isn’t it?Normally in this weather we spend a fortune on ice creams and ice lollies for the kids but I've decided that this summer we'll make our own ice lollies. This should not only save a fortune but our own lollies will be much healthier (in theory ;-)).Homemade Ice Lolly Ideas for the kids Not an ice lolly as such but you could freeze bananas, either in or out of their skins. Try freezing some Angel delight in lolly moulds, as we've done in the rocket lolly moulds above. You can freeze those little fromage frais pots, pop a lolly stick in the pot before you … [Read more...]
