I have been a bit busy this past week as the children are all off school for Easter but it does give me time to spend with each of them individually. I am a real believer in spending time with each of them one to one and making them feel extra special for that time. Chloe has asked if we can go for an Indian soon for our ‘date night’ We often just have a Costa together too. She is working really hard at school and actually has her first full on proper GCSE next month – how did that even happen?
I love reading all the frugal ideas on our linky and finding new ideas and ways to save. This week I picked out a post from Study at home mama who has 40 mum and daughter date ideas. Forty – how cool is that and there are dates for every budget. I thought it was full of lovely things to do together and I will be using some of their suggestions.
It has inspired me to share my own ideas on how I spend time with each of my three so I will blog about that soon!
Do link up your frugal posts and give me some more ways to save!
Oh, I’m so happy to hear that you liked the post — I’m looking forward to reading yours!

Such an inspiring post. Thanks for linking up last week.
What a great idea this is and one as a single Mama I find near on impossible to carry out! With 3 kids, work, studying and looking after my elderly Mum there’s only time to do chores and maybe a whole family dinner out. It’s even hard to do an activity together like the cinema as their age range and interests are so different. Rubbish! This is one of the few things I miss about being in a relationship as it does give you the opportunity to spend time with your children individually or to just have a proper conversation even without rushing to the next task. As they get older I think it’s even more important to keep talking and if nothing else I will continue to do that! ️Xx
you are right Mel, you cannot always split yourself into so many different places. The talking thing though is so so important. I agree they need you more as you get older.
