Confessions of an organiser

Confessions of an organiser

Without a doubt, our garage has always been the most disorganised space in our house. Luckily no-one ever goes in there except us, which I suppose is also where the problem starts. Garages can quickly and easily become a disorganised, cluttered mess. They are also the most unexciting space to organise, hence why I've put it off for so long. But I knew in the long run it would make things so much easier, especially because my husband enjoys building things, and I'm always getting him to do little jobs around the house.

On The Organised You TV this Saturday, I'll be showing the garage makeover. Today I thought I'd show you the dreadful 'before' shots and talk about why the space really wasn't working for us. If this looks like your garage, then hopefully you get some ideas from Saturday's video.

It's been an extremely busy month at our house as my husband has started a new job, my son is settling into 3 year-old kinder, and we are all trying to get used to the new routine. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to post some tips for making the mornings run more smoothly. I am quickly learning that you can never be too organised in this area!

January & February wrap-up

Hi everyone! Today I'm doing a recap of everything that's been going on at The Organised You over the last 2 months, so you can catch up on anything you may have missed. It sure has been a busy start to the year, and I have really enjoyed going back and looking at everything I've managed to accomplish, rather than always focusing on the to-do list.

How to create a family command centre

In today's video, I'm showing you our new family command centre that we recently set out in our living room. This is a hard-working space in our home, where we store calendars, receipts, cleaning schedule and jobs, a cork board for displaying important info and lots more. Having this space really helps us be more organised, keeps everyone on track with what's going on, and ensures there are no paper clutter piles building up elsewhere in the house. Watch the video to see how I set up this newly organised space!
