  1. Own your 'Hood!

    by , 10-07-2012 at 05:54 (The Thrifty Mama's Guide to More Life for Less!)
    I have had a shocker of a week with a particularly nasty virus brought home by our eldest son knocking the stuffing out of us all and leaving me feeling like my brain is a marshmallow sitting in a saucer of soapy water. Suddenly though I feel fighting fit and restless which is wonderful but being at present 5am, a little cold and lonely (soon to be hungry I feel).

    Never mind, it gives me a good opportunity to catch up on overdue blogs such as this one! This week my focus is on getting ...
  2. 15 Eats Under $15

    by , 26-06-2012 at 10:24 (Things to do with kids in Brisbane)
    Just found this great website, The Urban List, featuring 15 food ideas for $15 in Brisbane. While not specifically aimed at kids, there's still some fabulous ideas for taking the whole family out on a budget. I love the $1 dumplings! There's also this list of 10 ideas for $10. You can't go wrong!

  3. It’s Time for Can (We Can But We Won’t)

    by , 22-06-2012 at 10:38 (The Thrifty Mama's Guide to More Life for Less!)
    Things have been happening here at Thrifty Manor (Thrifty Manor may look like a small tumbleddown cottage to you, she’s still our Manor!). Well things have been trying to happen. Our business is looking to expand, it is solid and there is a market we have tested out in the big city, just waiting for us to get our hot little hands on. As you know I wouldn’t be throwing my cash around without just cause but we have been trying to buy a property for another (second) business premises in another ...

  4. Toy sale time ... I have too many already!

    by , 21-06-2012 at 09:41 (The Official Bub Hub Blog!)

    We already have too many toys.

    Between them The Children have only been around for five gift-giving occassions - but already I'm thinking I'm going to have to a) do a serious cull or b) buy a bigger house.

    Our guest room is now the 'train table room' and we have a small trampoline in the corner of our bedroom (which sounds a bit Samantha-from-SATC-ish but couldn't be more different).

    When my nan visited the other day she said more than once: "I

  5. Get your Value!

    by , 18-06-2012 at 16:12 (The Thrifty Mama's Guide to More Life for Less!)
    I am stingy. I will admit it. On the occasions that money can be coaxed out of my wallet I want to make sure it is worth it. Mama needs to get her value!
    Getting value is wonderful. It does mean that garage sales are slim pickings at my house (I get my value good and proper- most of the time by the time I have finished with something no-one in their right mind would want it!) but it means a whole lot more.
