Cathy at NurtureStore has come up with a fantastic idea - The Play Academy, which I'm going to take part in each week. Here's my first entry: It sounded like such a simple craft session when Miss Frugal asked if we could make bookmarks. She's at the age now where she is starting to read independently and she will happily sit quietly in the corner reading to herself and she's starting to enjoy the books that she reads - at the moment she's reading The Twits and it's quite funny to watch her reading, every now and again she'll start to laugh or she'll look really surprised at something she's … [Read more...]
Mmmm Honey….
We had a car boot sale on Sunday to make some extra pennies for our fortnight off (2 sleeps people, 2 sleeps). It went pretty well actually, we made about £80 after paying to get in and taking into account the batch of designer clothes I bought for Miss Frugal.The day started off cloudy and overcast so I never took any sun tan lotion with us but by the end of the morning it was red hot so the poor kids had to stay in one spot in the shade for most of the morning. When we got home, we used the last of our water bombs to have a water fight to cool off. What is it about kids and … [Read more...]
Make your own pop up monster….
This morning I made helped Master Frugal make a pop up monster card for his Grandad, who's volunteered to look after him for the day while we do a car boot sale. I don't think Grandad Frugal knows what's about to hit him lol. I'm pretty sure that he hasn't been informed of Master Frugal's plan to go to the beach with the metal detector and then go for ice creams.I won't show you how to make the pop up monster card as the instructions on the link above are much, much better than any I could give you but I would definitely recommend that you try making one with your littlies as we had … [Read more...]
Family Funday for under £10.00….
30/07 EDITED TO ADD - THIS POST WAS CHOSEN AS THE WINNER OF THE SUN £9.50 CHALLENGE ;-) YEAY :-)When I was contacted by The Sun to take part in their latest challenge I said yes straight away - All I had to do was to find something to spend £9.50 on that was more exciting than a holiday. How easy is that you might say.... But after a week of deliberating, I can now confirm that it is in fact not very easy at all. A holiday is the most exciting thing for us as a family, we love spending time together as a family without any distractions like mobiles and laptops. So when I tried … [Read more...]
Play Doh Fun….
FACT - Children love play doh. So can you imagine my children's delight when we received a parcel in the post from play doh?I don't think I need any more words to tell you about our play doh fun - I'll let their faces tell you how much fun they had: You can't beat Play Doh for keeping the kids quiet can you? After my previous experiences of Play Doh, I put a black plastic sack under the kids chairs to catch all those little bits that my two manage to get everywhere and then trample through the house which meant that they could play happily without me howvering over them, … [Read more...]
Did you used to do this…?
I came home from work the other day to a beautiful present - a home made bottle of perfume!Remember when you were little and you thought that if you put petals in a bottle of water it made perfume? Someone (not me) has shared this with Miss Frugal and we now have five bottles of the stuff sitting outside our back door. Anybody want one? … [Read more...]
