I am SO glad you all loved the menu planners and and thank you so much for those who downloaded and enjoyed them- ever better those who posted photos of their handiwork. 
I am all for a good before and after. So let me show you my drawers of shame.
See below evidence.
I am not perfect, nor is my home, my schedule, my life and my time management. I work, I get busy, I have two small children and million and one other excuses as to why there are times where areas of my life slip through the super organised cracks ; ) This is life people- just keeping it real.
Today I am super excited to share with your our NEW printables : ) Kudos and many many thanks to the super woman Bianca for once again putting my ideas, visions and sometimes crazy thoughts into photoshop to make this creation. I bring you the start of our Super Organiser Mum planners : )
Best of all they are FREE. Yes I did say free and come in a multitude of colours to suit everyone. Todays printable is the first of a few which will be released over the coming days and weeks for your enjoyment.
I often get asked what I carry around with me in my nappy bag and so today I am going to share that with you. Keeping in mind this is just what suits me and the places we go and the things we do. I carry less as my babies get older but at the moment with a child who has the ability to poop through everything in one outing this is how we roll.
This is my ALL day out bag. We might be going to the zoo or out all day Sat etc whatever the case may be this lives in the car for those days. I also have a smaller nappy clutch type set up I will show you soon for the quicker trips : )
So we all have clutter right?
I sure do. I am not exempt at all from having stuff in my home that I don’t need/want or use. Things I have bought I am not using, gifted with that I don’t need, old containers which are empty etc.
Firstly you need to be in the “mood” to clear clutter. If my head is not in the right space I usually don’t even start to organise. I need to be a throwing out sort of mood. I generally go in with an end goal. I think about the room before I get started- sometimes for weeks. I look at what is working, what is not and why? And I often even jot a few notes about a room first.
We did a lot of organising this weekend and one of my priorities was to sort out the mess that was the clothes in Flynn’s room. When he moved into this room he was nearly 3 and now at nearly 4 there were sizes 2, 3 and 4 in his room. This was chaos. I kept thinking we had lots of clothes but really we had lots of too small clothes and so a clean out was in order.
Our holidays was the time to do it and so it went on the to do list. Firstly this is my process although I was so super focused and didn’t take any in progress photos.
Organising my memorabilia is probably the most important thing to me as a mother and wife. Of all of the things in our home we organise this really is the most precious and therefore always trumps a bathroom cupboard for me. I also like to make sure I adapt the organising of these memories as we go through different stage of childhood.
This storage of our children’s words and sayings, questions and life does not have to be super fancy or expensive- just a small easily accessible place to keep those things which make us smile.
Loose recipes.
A struggle for me for awhile now as I collect them from all over the place. Then I saw this cute recipe binder at Typo and I knew this is exactly what I needed.
Firstly a word on my old system as organisation is constantly evolving around here, what worked for me and the family 12 months ago just might not be valid now and so things are every changing.
SO I have shared with you on Facebook the long awaited arrival of my Pottery Barn Bedford charging station I hunted down from Ebay. Seen below and you can find them HERE.
So with this arrival I needed to do a full reshuffle of my work area. This is a really central location and as wonderful as that is and as much as I love being out with the family while I am blogging etc it also means it needs to look really neat- so lots of hidden storage is a must.
