Living the good life on a budget.
Hello January! The start of a new year always brings renewed hope and promise. I love not knowing where the year is going to take us. January should be relatively quiet for The Frugal Cottage household. I am hoping to get my focus and determination back; I have been lacking in motivation lately and it…
Hello December! I love this time of year and I’m so looking forward to Christmas. There are also lots of family birthdays in December. Mine is next week! Lots of things to look forward to. We are spending Christmas Day with my parents and then Boxing Day with Mr FC’s parents. I know that Frugal Baby…
Hello November! I love this time of year, when the evenings get cooler and darker. The clocks have gone back in the UK this weekend, so mornings are lighter for a brief time. I love the thought of being all cosy inside when it’s cold outside. I hope we have a proper winter this year, with…
Hello October! I love this time of year, when the evenings get cooler and darker and the thought of being all cosy inside when it’s cold outside. I like the way that foods turn to the comforting stews and soups that have been off the menu for a while. Can you tell I’m excited about…
Hello September! It’s always a mixed emotions month for me, as it means back to work after always having the summer off. This year it seems to be proving especially hard as I am leaving the Frugal Baby again after having so much time with him and making more memories. It really has been lovely…

Hello July! I can’t believe that we’re already halfway through 2016; this year seems to be flying by. July for us is relatively quiet as we have nothing special planned. I’m hoping that the weather picks up so that we can go for family days out and enjoy being outside. I am pondering about…
Hello June! Another month to work through, to have fun and exiting times, and to get further along in our financial journey. We’ve got a little family holiday planned in June which I’m really looking forward to; it’ll be our first time away as a family of three! Other than that, June is quite a…
Hello May! I cannot believe that it is May already; I head back to work on Tuesday and the new “normal” for our household begins. Luckily, I am only working three days a week so I have plenty of time to spend with our gorgeous boy. We don’t have much planned for May as it’ll…
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…
