Last year we gave our playroom a major overhaul. We added lots of storage, and made the space a lot more attractive and user-friendly. I believe that children have a natural inclination towards organisation, and that a playroom should offer many options for free choice and independence. So I have been a whole lot in love with the Expedit from IKEA, as you can switch...

Congratulations to the winner of this giveaway – Toni Davidson! Sponsored by Target The cool weather is rapidly approaching and I LOVE it! Everything about winter is oh-so-snuggly. It always conjures up images of hot chocolate, and furry slippers, and snuggles under blankets while watching TV. But by far my most favourite part of the cold weather is being able...

I hate clutter. Hate it, hate it, hate it. But you know what – I don’t have a clutter-free home. I am still in the process of working out exactly HOW we are to effectively manage the clutter in our home. With a six person household, I believe that we need to have systems in place to make sure that our stuff doesn’t consume us. Our home is our...

If you are not in Queensland at the moment then there is a good chance you are probably lucky to not be experiencing some of the most miserable and depressing weather that we have seen in decades. And if you are Queensland, I send you commiserations and a cute cyber-pair of wellies and this picture so you never forget what that strange yellow thing in the sky...

A couple of days ago, I showed you our awful office. It had become a dumping ground for stuff, and our business organising and paperwork had become difficult and painful to manage. Having spoken with Howard’s Storage World, I knew that I had to stop and assess our needs for this area. What was glaringly obvious was that we were beginning to accumulate too much...

My hubby and I run a business from home. And like many people who work from home, we have always struggled with creating a space that allowed us to feel organised and uncluttered. Our office has moved from one area of our house to another as our family expanded, and last year we finally reclaimed our office for it’s original purpose. The problem was that it was...

There are moments in our life that forever stay in our hearts and memories. Starting school is undoubtedly one of those times – not just for the new student, but also for the Mums and Dads who are entrusting their children’s education into the care of others for possibly the first time. It can often feel a little overwhelming, and there are so many things...

The end of the school year is full of excitement, a little bit of sadness, and a whole lot of STUFF! School bags are chocked full of books, scrapbooks, stationery, folders, journals and more. If you’re anything like me, you want the bags put away out of sight ASAP so you can start to enjoy the summer holidays. But before you do, here are a few tips which will...

Firstly, may I just say how astounding it is that I am mentioning the B-word again after this post! But I am because I wanted to share with you something that is rather foreign to me – I am getting a little bit, shall we say, excited about the task at hand! Over the past couple of weeks, I have looked into ways that I can make small changes around the way I do...
