My First Month Of Blogging


I just realized that it's been a month since I started blogging and I can say that it has been a completely positive experience. Even if it is a short period of time, I would like to write about what has turned this into a nice adventure.

DIY: Wardrobe project - part 2

 
As I wrote last week, we needed a new wardrobe for our bedroom and my husband managed to find a real bargain in a thrift shop but doors were damaged and it did not meet my requirements needs.

Why Did I Decide To Write My Blog In English?


One of my readers recently asked me why did I decide to write my blog in English and not in Italian. I think that it is correct to dedicate a post to this matter.

Pasta Al Forno Con Spinaci (Baked Pasta With Spinach)

Baked Pasta with spinach
Last week we had for lunch a simple baked pasta with spinach. It was a simple meal but we absolutely loved it.

I would like to share with you this recipe even if it is very simple because it has a low cost but it is really tasty and wealthy ( a perfect Frugal Recipe ).

Moreover, I realized that there are some recipes we love but I regularly forget about them. I don't know why and I suppose that it is because I don't have an organized meal plan. Considering that I am trying to get more organized, I decided to post the recipe of our forgotten preferred frugal meals so that I could remember about them when I will write down my meal plan.

DIY: Wardrobe Project - part 1

Last year we realized that we had to buy a new wardrobe because we just had one big wardrobe in our children's bedroom and it was really too full even if we started decluttering.

I considered all the options: new ( cheap ones ) or used.

Today I choose to be unfrugal but I think it's worth it. Want to know why?

Unfrugal choice, but it is worth it!
This seems to be a non frugal week for many people. In fact, today,  while I was thinking of writing about the unfrugal decision we took yesterday, I read a certain number of posts about non frugal adventures that happened to a lot of very frugal people. This makes me feel better because I was a little annoyed about the unfrugal  decision we had to take yesterday, even if I am sure that it is worth it. We all have to accept that there are some events that cannot be submitted to our Frugal Control.

Friday Thoughts




My weekend starts on Friday afternoon when I come back from work and I pick up my son at school.
It is a lovely feeling to know that for two days I don't have to go to work and that I will have more time to spend with my family and to enjoy what I love.

I decided to dedicate my Friday post to two or three little things that made my week special.

We would like to teach our children to...


Mr. Frugalitalianfamily and Baby Frugalitalianfamily
As parents we often think about the future of our children and we wonder how their life will be in twenty, thirty or more years. Will they achieve their dreams? Will they be happy? Will they be prepared for life? Of course we cannot predict now how their lives will be in the future, but for sure we can teach them some important values:

15 simple Frugal Tips that can save you money

Simple Frugal Tips: DIY Christmas Decoration
Since we decided that we had to pay attention to our lifestyle as we really wanted to enjoy our life and become a Frugal Family, we tried to focus our attention on the simple things and we found that there is a large amount of small things that can save us money over the time.

Actually,  every little amount adds up and even a small amount of 10 Euro each month turns into 120 Euro a year and in 1.200 Euro for a period of 10 years!!!!

March Grocery Challenge

My fridge today, after the shopping
Thanks to Sarah from Frugal by Choice, Cheap by Necessity. I am starting a Grocery Challenge during March.

This is a great occasion as, even if I try to take a list of all my grocery expenses, I am not very organized and I usually arrive at the end of the month with an approximate amount of expenses....I need some self-discipline and this Challenge is a very good occasion to keep me on the right path.

I have some problems with tracking my Grocery Shopping:
