Living the good life on a budget.
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…
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…
It’s Monday which means it’s meal plan time! 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…
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…
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…

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…
Hello April! This is the last month of my maternity leave 🙁 I cannot believe the time is going to quickly and soon I’ll be back at work and having to get used to a totally different routine. April is going to be a quiet month for us; we have nothing planned and I’m just going…
I cannot believe that March is over already! I only have one more month on maternity leave, and it doesn’t seem long enough. However, March has been another lovely month for us. We have been on another family holiday, this time to the Lake District with my parents. We stayed in a little cottage and…
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you’re having a lovely day, whatever you are doing. We’re spending the day with my parents and are going out for Sunday lunch later on. We are having a little holiday up in the Lake District this week, so we’ve got lots of nice things planned. We’re hoping that the…
