Today I'm sharing an easy storage solution for the kitchen. I try to do a good kitchen clean-out and purge once a quarter - this involves removing everything from a drawer/cupboard, giving it a good wipe-down, finding new storage ideas if necessary, re-organising, and seeing if there's anything I can get rid of before I put everything back in. I find that kitchens can really accumulate a lot of 'stuff', so I like to do this on a fairly regular basis to minimize the clutter.
Can you believe it is only 5 weeks until Christmas?! This year I made a decision to give it a lot more thought and preparation than previous years. This is only because I didn't plan well last year, and therefore felt very stressed and overwhelmed trying to get everything done in the last week or so!
Hands up if you have an overflowing stationery or junk drawer somewhere in your house? No doubt it is full of those bits and pieces you need close at hand, such as scissors, sticky-tape, textas, rubber-bands.... the essentials! To me, there is no point having these items stored away in a home office or randomly scattered throughout the house - they need to all be in one place and easily accessible. Ideally you might have a drawer in the kitchen, but if your kitchen space is limited, free-standing drawers are another good solution.
How do you organise your shoe collection? Do you use racks or boxes or hanging dividers? Or are they just randomly strewn at the bottom of your wardrobe? Maybe a combination of the two! There are heaps of great shoe organising solutions out there, and today I'm sharing some storage options that we use to organise our shoe collection inside our wardrobe.
So today is the day - we are leaving for Noosa and I couldn't be more excited about spending some relaxing and fun time with my loved ones! This is actually our first family vacay outside of Melbourne. Throughout the year, we are lucky to have use of my parent's holiday house on the Great Ocean Road, so we spend a big chunk of our summer there, and weekends where possible. So, the challenge for me on this trip was having to pack for the 4 of us with a small amount of space! Usually we load up the car to the max, but this time of course suitcase space was limited.
