The Luxury Mum

  Happy March Everyone and welcome back to The Luxury Mum!  Firstly I would like to say thank you to you all for your interaction and amazing feedback on my most recent Budgeting post and for those asking, yes there will be more budgeting posts coming. Today's post is a request from a few of your that read my budgeting  post and wanted some money saving tips that I feel work and that I use. I will try to make this a monthly post going forward if it is something that you enjoy and find helpful.  1. Create A Budget & Stick To It This one will be obvious to any of you that read my most recent budgeting post so I will keep this short and sweet but the first step in saving money is to know where your money is going. If you want to use my budgeting spreadsheet you can find it on this post by clicking  here. 2. Check Your Bank Account Often I personally don't know anyone that doesn't have instant online banking and ...

Have A Budget!   I feel like we have all been in the position at one point in our lives  where  we have looked at our bank account and thought, 'where has all of my money gone?' or had the feeling you get on payday, where you see your money coming into your account and then leaving just as fast and this can feel very overwhelming, especially if you don't have a clear idea of where your money going or when it is going to be going.  In order to combat this feeling I have taken inspiration from lots of different budget trackers over time and created my own simple version that I can control and amend as I wish. This budget tracker allows me to list and categorise all of my earnings, my outgoings and my savings so I  have a clear picture of what is happening with my money. There is also a section on my budget track...

This post isn't going to be a "how to" of how to juggle work whist the kids are running around your feet circa early 2020 but instead an ongoing weekly post for those of you that that are now finding yourselves in a more permanent home working situation and feel your day lacks routine and structure. For those of you that haven't read any of my blogposts before, my name is Jordan and I am a full time working mum of one, I started this blog as a place to build a community where we can share our ideas whist supporting and empowering each other...

 My Favourite Podcasts - February 2022 I hope that you have all had a great start to February so far. I want to take a moment quickly today to say a big thank you to those of you that have supported me  in any way starting this blog. I feel like this is the start of a great journey for me but I will be really honest in saying that it felt very daunting to start this blog in the first place after not writing a blog for so long. I do hope that if any of you have been considering doing something similar or just starting something new in your life that you are personally passionate about that this gives you the motivation to know that you can do anything you put your mind to, it may feel scary and it may take a long time to take that leap of faith but this is your reminder that if you want something, go and get it. One of the things that I want to achieve with this blog is to continually bring you content that is going to be valuable, motivational, supportive and also realistic. I...

I wanted to make my first post for you all a small introduction to me.  I hope this will help you get to know me and my interests a little better and hopefully I can give you some insight into the type of content you will be able to find here. I am a full time working, co-parenting mum of one beautiful and very sassy four year old girl, Rae, who I love and adore more than I could ever put into words and we live with the love of my life and most wonderful step-dad Craig.  On this blog, my little piece of the internet, you will find a space full of the things I love such as Style, Lifestyle, Parenting Hacks, Motivational Discussions, Reviews, Routines and insights into how we can create the most fulfilled life for ourselves as parents, whatever that may look like for you.
