What does a personal organiser do?

I often get asked 'what does a personal organiser actually do?' so today I thought I would share a recent job I completed so you can see for yourself! Basically, I am passionate about helping others get organised in their homes. This blog gives lots of tips and ideas, but sometimes it can be too overwhelming to tackle a disorganised space yourself, no matter how much information you have about how to do it. That is where I can step in and help you set up a space that works for you [and your family], essentially helping you to 'take back your life'.

Building a storage cupboard

Building a storage cupboard

Today is the launch of 'The Organised You TV'! I'm hoping to release a video every other week, with a focus on 'how-to'. I'll be showing you how I organise different areas around my home, and different projects that we are tackling, such as the build of a new storage cupboard in this first episode. Other videos will be focused on showing how I help other people organise their own spaces, which is ultimately my passion in being a personal organiser!

So, today's episode is showing you how we built a new storage cupboard at the end of our hallway. It's really exciting to be able to create extra storage space, and I'm eagerly anticipating filling it up! Hope you enjoy this episode, and stay tuned for next episode when I show you how I organise the new space :)

Cleaning the house using homemade cleaners

Cleaning the house using homemade cleaners

In preparation for our annual Christmas party this Saturday, I have been trying to do a deep clean of the house over the last few weeks... because, you know, there isn't enough going on in December without this added extra! With 2 small kids, it's not possible for me to do a massive house clean in one hit, so I have been doing jobs when I have a spare 20 minutes or so, or the kids are entertaining themselves... which usually involves bubbles! Hours of entertainment!

Creating a gift wrapping station

I'm taking a step away from Christmas planning today to share a recent project that has got this organisational gal super excited - our very own (hidden) gift wrapping station! I've always wanted one spot in the house designated for all our wrapping supplies, and this recent addition to the back of a cupboard door has given me exactly that. Let me show you how we set it up.
