Rachael Jess is a family site showing you how much fun you can have as a family

From bad money choices, being in an extremely toxic relationship and heavily in debt, I hit rock bottom in 2008!  But whilst that was a very bad year, it was also one of my best!  I got myself on a debt plan, started making smart money choices and (re)met a wonderful man.  Then in 2011, we had a beautiful baby boy and life has never been better.

I learnt very quickly how to make fun times with my newborn child on a shoestring.

From saving my pennies, making games and rescuing furniture from landfill to do up, our child-friendly home is a happy, loving environment for my son to grow up in.


Fun days out, crafting, playing and Fandom fun is now in our DNA.  We are here to share with you how you too can have a rich life through love, play and laughter on a shoestring.
