Staying Organised day to day

I enjoy being organised and i feel so much better in myself when I am, so I am always looking for new ways to make life easier and much more organised each day.



Having children is obviously a good reason for needing to be organised, however, also a reason why it is much harder to get organised too! 

My tips/hacks are:

* Pack bags etc the afternoon/night before and put by the door

* Have snack baskets in the cupboard, snack organisers in the fridge and a supply of packaged snacks for taking out with you.

* Keep a couple of spare outfits, underwear (if potty training) in a kids backpack (or your changing bag) which are always there, so you can grab the bag and go, without packing each time. 
Also, a good tip is to put these clothes back in the bag straight from the washing basket. 

*Put together a little bag of snacks which can be left in the car. 

*Routine, routine, routine! Kids love it and it helps everybody. For example, breakfast, lunch and dinner at similar times.

*To do lists, meal planning, need to get lists, I can't get enough of a list and actually have an app on my phone which holds about 6 lists, it's perfect as I've always got my phone on me. 

* Drawer dividers, storage baskets, have a place for everything. 

* When you put away your clean bedding use one pillowcase from the set to put the other pillowcase and duvet cover into, this makes a great little parcel and keeps it all together 

* Look for inspiration from like-minded people (as your doing now, by reading this) Instagram, Facebook groups, youtube) 

* In the morning I put the things we use/need everyday out straight away, on the side. Eg; a dummy(for her nap) and a bottle of water/juice 

I'm sure there are many, many more so look out for part two coming in the future.

Thankyou for reading and I hope you have found something useful.

Meal Planning

Planning your weeks meals can be really helpful, in saving you time and money. By planning what you will eat, you can ensure you only buy what you need while you are food shopping.  To start your weeks meal plan, take a look through your fridge, freezer and cupboards and write down what you have.  Next write down the meals you can make from what you still have.  Now you know how many meals you still need to buy for,you can make your shopping list.  We all have our go to meals every week but if your getting fed up of looking for inspiration, a good tip is to use the BBC good website/app. You can type in just one ingredient and it will give you lots of recipes using that ingredient. I also get food inspiration from Youtube & Instagram.  To make my shopping list I use an App on my phone, which allows me to make up to 9 different lists and to tick off items as I get them.  I love this as I always have my phone to hand and can quickly add something to my lis...

Utility Room Renovation

Welcome to my favourite room in our house! I’m not even joking :-) As a lover of all things property, I am an avid fan of home magazines such as Your Home and Ideal Home, also loving to follow fellow property obsessed people on Instagram and search hashtags for inspiration.  I have lusted after beautiful utility/boot rooms for some time, so when we started our search,  for our forever home up here in Scotland, this was high up on my list.  We were lucky and we actually have a really good size Utility room. Unfortunately, due to the age of the house, it also houses a very large, old style boiler (we did look into Getting this covered but that’s another story)  Here’s how the room looked when we moved in... At first, we thought we would put another butler sink in here to match our kitchen but adding a bend in the worktop would have lost us a lot of space, which we are using for our clothes airers, so we decided against adding a sink in....
