Organise ‘08 - Getting Your Head Around It.

You know it’s one thing to have a perfectly neat and organised house (yeah like that will ever happen) but there’s more to having an organised life than having a tidy house. I need to organise my head!
I’m a big believer in positive thinking, in enjoying the moment and taking time to be happy with […]

Organise ‘08 - Christmas Presents!

I am in full Christmas present mode at the moment. Yes, I know it is only August, but I set myself this little goal back in July to actually be a bit organised for Christmas this year and definitely NOT leave everything to the last minute!

(since I used a photo of Zoe’s first Christmas in […]

Organise ‘08 - Toys

We have three small children and between them they own quite a few toys. We have a small, old house, with no storage, space for storing toys is limited as is space for playing with them. It seems that keeping the toys in check around our house is a constant battle that I never seem […]

Organise ‘08 - Stretching the Food Budget.

“I’m hungrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!”
I hear that an awful lot in our house. My children seem to be bottomless pits when it comes to food… that is, food that they like… they just can’t get enough! This month we’ve been trying to see how far we can stretch our food budget and still satisfy the hungry hordes that […]

Organise ‘08 - Meal times

I read a post over at Embiejo etc (doesn’t that name just roll off your tongue so nicely!) about their ‘dinner woes’. I left a comment with my ‘oh-so-wise-trying-not-to-sound-too-high-and-mighty’ advice to her dilemmas on how to make dinner time better in their house and it’s got me thinking. Thinking about meal times in this house, […]

Organise ‘08 - Christmas in July.

Before I get started on this post I need to ask something…. Why is it ‘Christmas in July’ and not ‘Christmas in June’???

I am not nuts - if you are a non-Aussie you may have been wondering about that, but we backwards southern hemisphere people have a silly custom of sometimes celebrating a ’second […]

Organise ‘08 - Back to Work

The Twindaoes go back to kinder tomorrow (today is set-up day for their teachers) and so it is back to work for all of us. Back to getting up at a reasonable hour, back to making sure we all have appropriate clean clothes to wear, and back to making sure there is enough healthy snacks […]

Organise ‘08 - Time Management

With such a boring title I won’t blame the half of you who have already clicked away looking for a blog a little bit more exciting than mine today, but if you have stuck around, please… I need your help! I need help with time management.
There are a lot of things I want to do, […]

Organise ‘08 - the linen cupboard.

We live in an old house. Have I said that before? Oh yes, only about twenty times, but really it is important when it comes to keeping the place clean and organised because, well, it makes it that much harder.
This house is old and it has no storage. We have on ‘linen cupboard’ in […]

Organise ‘08 - Big Cleaning Jobs

There are a few big cleaning jobs that I have been putting off for quite some time, but with Muski’s birthday on the weekend I now have the last minute kick up the bum and motivation I need to tackle them. So if I am scare around here this week it could well be because […]
