Living the good life on a budget.
I have always loved reading, right from being a young child. Being able to escape into a good book is such a wonderful thing. We read to Frugal Toddler every night before he goes to sleep and I am hoping that he will enjoying reading just as much as Mr FC and I do. Inspiring…
I couldn’t think of a better title for this, though it sums the post up fairly bluntly. It’s something I have been pondering lately. About what I would love to happen to us, as a family. And where we might be in say, 5 years time. I think that thinking long term is important,…
I’ll be honest, this post has been a long time coming. Months on end, I put about sorting out my clothes and selling them on ebay. That was an item on my month aims for ages! But, something was holding me back. And honestly, it wasn’t just a time thing, though that was a good…
I get it, budgeting is not exciting. Keeping on track day in day out, is hard work at times. I have a spreadsheet that I’m supposed to enter our spends in each day to keep on track, but I keep forgetting lately. By the time we’ve got the boys in bed and then the house…

Recently, I feel like I’m losing focus on our goals and am not trying enough to be able to achieve them. I think that little things can get in the way and you can lose track completely. I especially feel like this when I’m having a bad week eating wise; it’s so easy to throw…
Just popping on to wish you and your family happy Easter, if you celebrate it. We’re spending the day with Mr FC’s family, which includes doing a little Easter egg hunt for Frugal Toddler. I cannot wait 🙂 April aims up tomorrow! xx
Weekends are a time for slowing down, savouring the time available and spending time with loved ones. There was a time where I thought weekends were all about spending money, going out and wasting the hours. I used to spend a fortune by just going into town on a Saturday, wandering about the shops and…
As it’s International Women’s Day this week, I thought I’d write a post in relation to that. Specifically, women and investing. Now, I don’t claim to be an expert at investing. Far from it. I started dividend investing two years ago, but before that I had no idea about the world of investing. It…
