Overcoming the 'Mummy Guilt'

Overcoming the 'Mummy Guilt'

I have mixed feelings as I write this post this morning. Friends of ours are getting married on Saturday in New Zealand. So my husband and I are heading off on a plane tomorrow for a week... without the kids. What does this have to do with an organising blog? Well, I wanted to talk a little about Mother's guilt - that gnawing feeling that we all have when we we feel like we're not doing the right thing, that we could be doing better, that we should be spending more time with our kids. 

However, I'm realising more and more during this crazy parenting journey, that it's also so important to give ourselves a break every now and again, and not feel guilty about it. If it leads to feeling refreshed and ready to tackle all those Mummy tasks with renewed energy, then it's something we all surely deserve every now and again.

Client Space: A work place makeover

As a professional organiser, helping individuals get organised in their homes and teaching them how to declutter is definitely the part of my job that I love the most. When a client recently contacted me for help with organising their work-place, I was super excited to be able to help a group of people with these things. Working in a messy, disorganised environment has had proven negative affects on work productivity. I believe that having a clean and clutter-free work space is just as important as having an organised home to keep you focused and using your time more effectively.
