Want to know one of my best “organised home” secrets?  You can have a clean & tidy home without actually putting a lot of effort into it.  The secret is to add incidental cleaning to the small routines you already have in your day.  When you’re going about your day - cooking, doing the washing, giving the kids a bath, drop off and pick ups, etc there are little things you can do that don’t feel like a lot of extra effort at the time but they keep everything looking lovely as if you’ve done a dedicated clean.  Add one or more of these to your day and see the difference immediately! -----  If you’re ready for the next step in organising your home, you might want to check out my popular House & Family Binder. It’s a simple set of prints to help you get organised and run your household without stress and overwhelm. Check it out here.  ----- Did you know that for about the price for one family dinner out, you could have all your dinners planned and grocery lists made

An organised home runs smoothly and feels like a haven to relax in. Imagine how good it will feel to be able to move through your day almost effortlessly and truly enjoy the space you live in. But the act of getting your home organised in the first place can be really overwhelming, and that’s why we struggle to do it. It feels like a big job to go through everything, declutter what you don’t need and set up your home so that everything has a home to belong in and is easy to get out, use and put away. When you picture getting your home organised, do you picture having to do it all at once? If so, this is the year we are going to let that go. ----- Mentioned in this episode: House & Family Binder ----- Enjoyed this episode?

In his book Atomic Habits, James Clear says “temptation bundling works by linking an action you want to do with an action you need to do.” I love that idea

December is in full swing and I bet your calendar is getting pretty full too! As Christmas Day gets nearer, we can feel like there are SO many things to do.

We have a lot to do in December!  Shopping, cooking, wrapping, social events, work stuff, family stuff… the list is long, and we do a great job handling it.  But the holiday season should be enjoyable as well as productive.  We should have fun, relax and enjoy the season too!  For me, that means protecting my energy and giving myself time and space to do the things I love, not leaving the things for me at the end of my list, but including them as things that are just as important as anything I’m doing for the kids, family or work.  Protecting your own energy so you can actually ENJOY the holiday season is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.  Here are 3 ways to protect your energy this holiday season!  -----  Mentioned in this episode:  Make Christmas Easy Planner  -----  Enjoyed this episode?

Are you feeling a little overwhelmed now that December has arrived?  The Holiday season is meant to be about fun times with loved ones, but we tend to get caught up with a long list of To Do’s that feel necessary in order for Christmas to go well.  That long list, coupled with more social events than usual, can make December feel rushed and chaotic rather than relaxing and enjoyable.  The last thing we need is to feel stressed this Christmas, so today I’m sharing a little activity that works really well for me and my clients every time we do it.  It’s perfect for Christmas time but will work for any occasion!  -----  Mentioned in this episode:  Paperless Post  Make Christmas Easy Planner  -----  Enjoyed this episode?

When the kids are little, shopping is tough - you’re already tired, you have to take a bunch of stuff with you (I do NOT miss nappy bags), and you have to manage everyone’s needs and emotions while trying to complete a simple task that used to take 30 minutes and now takes closer to 2 hours.  As they get older, shopping with kids gets a little easier physically, but you still have the emotional side to manage - kids don’t always want to come shopping with you, in-store fights and tantrums are never fun, and toilet requests always seem to happen when your trolley is full and the checkout line is long.  You’d think a stroll around Target would be lovely, but everyone wants to go in different directions and buy everything they see and fall in love with on the spot!  Shopping with kids is never going to be completely smooth (at least not in my experience), but there are a few little things you can do that make a big difference in how enjoyable the task is.  Here are my 3 favourite tips for eas

Decluttering your home makes it much easier to organise, tidy, clean, and maintain it. But there’s already so much going on in our lives as parents that the idea of taking on a decluttering project can be really overwhelming and feel like it will take ages. Maybe you’d like to go through your linen cupboard and declutter the extra towels and bedsheets that are crammed in there, making it hard to put things away neatly. or clear out your kitchen drawers so you only have the utensils you really need and can get them out and put them away again easily when you cook, or get rid of a bunch of broken or never-played-with kids toys now so you don’t end up with overflowing bedrooms at Christmas, or finally tackle the garage so that camping gear, car stuff, tools, and seasonal decorations all have a place to belong and don’t get lost or damaged. But who has a big chunk of time to commit to a project like that? How can you get it done when the kids are home with you? How do you stop it from becoming a huge mess halfway

Want to save some money? Your kitchen could be the key!  We often spend money on kitchen-related stuff without realising how much it all adds up.

Let's talk about the little things we can do to make life a bit easier when things get stressful. Times like when the kids (or parents) are sick, or you have a really busy week, or you've been given some bad news, or regular life just feels too hard at that moment. Doing something special just for you is a lovely little way to make sure you're being taken care of too, no matter what is going on in your life. These don't have to be big things and none of them are world-changing, but they make a difference to how you feel during and at the end of the day.
