I cannot believe that April is over! I knew that this month would go quickly, as it’s the last four weeks I had off with the Frugal Baby, but it has gone by so fast, it’s passed in a blink of an eye. I have truly loved and appreciated my time at home and April has been…

11 Reasons To Own Less
One of my 2016 goals is to continue to declutter our home and to live with less. I think that as a society, we often overbuy when we don’t need to own as much as we think we do. I am working on removing items from our home that we don’t need, whether that be…
Meal Plan Monday #18
It’s Monday which means it’s meal plan time! I must apologise for the lack of posts over the past week; the Frugal Baby has got a horrendous cold and cough which means that he’s really been struggling. His cough has been keeping him awake at night as it’s worse when he’s lying down, which means that…
2016 Goals – The First Quarter Update
As we are already a quarter of the way through 2016, I thought I would take a look back at the goals I set myself at the beginning of the year and see if I’m on track to meet them. I already know that this is going to be a bit hit and miss at…
Meal Plan Monday #17
It’s Monday which means it’s meal plan time! I must apologise for the lack of posts over the past week; I have felt a bit like I’m not a good enough blogger, or that I’m not doing well enough with my goals, so didn’t really feel like posting. I then realised that I am going…
Meal Plan Monday #16

The beginning of the week is slightly different to the everyday norm; it’s my sister-in-law’s birthday today so we’re going out for the day and then having a takeaway later. We’re hoping that the weather is nice as we are off up to Northumberland for the day. The…
The Weekend Edition #60
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you’re having a lovely day, whatever you are doing. This week has been fairly quiet for us; the weather hasn’t been fantastic so me and the Frugal Baby have stayed at home most of the time. We did go for a playdate on Thursday afternoon which was lovely; three babies…
Portfolio Progress – First Quarter 2016
I thought I would do a new series on the blog, looking at how my portfolio is growing throughout the year. I am going to do these type of updates at the end of every quarter, so I can see how it changes and (hopefully) grows over time. I love seeing other investors and…
The Ultimate Dream Fund Update – March 2016
A new month means it is time again to update The Ultimate Dream Fund again, as I continue our journey to early retirement. The Ultimate Dream Fund is named because it is our dream to retire early, and we need the funds to make that happen! One day, this fund will provide us with the…
Meal Plan Monday #15
It’s Monday which means it’s meal plan time. Our meal plan this week will be somewhat different to normal as we’re continuing with our paelo diet for this week. It will mainly consist of eating meat and fish, accompanied by fruit and vegetables and cutting back on carbs and dairy for the time being. We have…
