The easiest way to start saving money, is to avoid spending on unnecessary costs. I have put together a list of things you should stop spending money on straight away and start watching your bank balance grow.
If you’re anything like me, by the time dinner time comes around, you really don’t feel like cooking! Running around after a toddler all day and taking care of a newborn baby, cooking a healthy meal is the last thing you feel like doing. I decided it’s time to get organised and start batch cooking. We can still eat healthy meals but I just need to reheat them from the freezer rather than cook from scratch every night. Cook once, eat lots of times!
What is an emergency fund? Good question… essentially, an emergency fund is savings that will help cover you in case of a real emergency. This could be losing your job, sudden house repair or an unexpected car repair. Anything that you will need money upfront for. An emergency fund is ideal to fall back on without having to panic too much or put yourself in to debt.
I started weaning my daughter at 5-6 months old. She would have weetabix for breakfast which she absolutely loved and still does now at 2 years old! At lunch times, I normally gave her finger foods, I wanted to give her more of a variation so I put together a few lunch ideas so she had a mixture of lunches rather than the same each day. Dinner times she usually had a jar of baby food, which was good whilst she was getting used to new textures but now she is eating really well I wanted to start giving her proper food for dinner too. I struggled to think of tasty ideas to start off with I but eventually came up with her own little menu and thought I would share to help any other parents out there trying to think of different meal ideas.
Do you want to find ways to make money without having to leave the house? Maybe you’re a stay at home parent or just want a little bit of extra income alongside your day job. Whatever your situation, we all like to earn extra pocket money here and there.
