The year is coming to an end and so is the budget for Christmas gifts. If you’re like most of us you might have once again left yourself off the list, but it’s not too late! There are lots of things we can give to ourselves with that limited (see no) budget that’s leftover. There... Continue Reading →
So… I don’t meal plan. I actually did when we were in lockdown briefly and it was great, less food waste and time wasted every week. Sometimes when we’re super busy I don’t cook at all for weeks at a time. In the winter I cook at least 2 meals a day at home but... Continue Reading →
