Welcoming Spring - #FabulouslyFrugal

We have cut the lawn this weekend and are planning to get the patio cleaned tomorrow as we are certainly feeling spring has finally sprung in the UK.

I have spent the weekend cleaning the fabulously frugal way as we are having some photo's taken of the house for a blog piece on Monday.

I will be popping to the charity shop to see if I can find any gorgeous teacups to make this teacup planter like Crafts on Sea

I love having flowers and plants in our home and one of the things that I love is seeing bulbs spring up in the garden. I adore these crocus in a cup and will be doing something similar.

I certainly will be making one of these paper daffodil wreaths for the front door with the kids over the school holidays as our family project.

We are also going to collect some twigs and bring some blossom in to our home with these fab tissue paper blossoms.

Do you have a post that is about thrifty parenting, decorating or lifestyle. One that is about frugal food or crafts and art. or even a post about making the post of what you have, then please do link up.

Each week we make sure we pin the post, feature some on our facebook pages and then we each have a round up on a Sunday. Let's all share that being frugal can be fabulous.

Please take a look at my fab co hosts and their posts, Cass at Dairy of a Frugal Family, Mum in the Mad House and out two new Hosts Emma at Mum's Savvy Savings and Becca from Bare Feet of the Dashboard.

Dumping the tumble dryer and Ecoforce giveaway

We have a tumble dryer, but it broke before christmas and we couldn't afford to get it repaired, so I have been managing with an old fashioned wooden clothes rail and hanging bedding over the doors to dry, This last would of weeks however, I have been hanging the washing outside and it has been drying much quicker and with less creases, so I am going to take the plunge and instead of getting the dryer replaced I am going to give it away. Ecoforce heard me on twitter bemoaning the fact that I was chasing laundry round the garden as my pegs were not working and very kindly sent me some of their Ecoforce pegs to try and they have been fab. So in conjunction with Ecoforce I have a year's supply of green cleaning and washing up wonder products worth £50 comprising the following: EcoForce Peg Basket x 1 EcoForce Clothes Line x1 EcoForce Pegs x 2 packs Several of each of: EcoForce sponges, scourers, cloths, duster and bag grips Dishmatic Dishmatic Refills x
