Still Decluttering? Join The Club!
It's been over 3 years since I began our journey toward a family life simply done. I'm still decluttering. Is this possible? It would appear so. Decluttering is a bit like trying to lose weight. It's easy to gain, not so easy to lose. So, as a non-believer in crash diets, I've taken the slow and steady approach to stuff reduction. What I've found as an ...

The Simple Guide To Conscious Spending
For me conscious spending is knowing where every penny goes, or at least every pound. It’s about value for money, spending on what matters to my family and me and not frittering away cash. It’s not about being frugal, it’s about eliminating waste – I don’t mind spending money but I hate wasting money. Due to living our family life this way it has meant ...

Looking For Inspiration?
My writing mojo has taken a hit this week. I have to be in the right frame of mind to write. My thoughts have been elsewhere. This is not something I'm proud of. I feel I should be able to write-through whatever life's throws at me, but I can't. So, looking for inspiration I put out a call to action on Facebook. To which Shelley kindly responded. It was ...

Selling It And A Giveaway
Simply Being Mum's Spring Sale continues. £82 was generated from a car-boot sale and just over £52 from my first lot of eBay listings. Taking my total to a rounded down £134. Some way to go to my self-imposed £600 target. I have more to list on eBay, and have found that now momentum has built I am not actually dreading it this time. Still not overly ...
When Paying In Advance Works
I'm not one for committing to payment in advance, particularly for services. For example; we don't subscribe to cable, and I don't have a gym membership. I like to pay as I go (apart from my phone contract). However, the more frugal I become, the more I am appreciating the additional benefits of paying in advance on occasion. Not in a committed regular ...
