How I created a cute artwork display

Have you ever taken on a room makeover that felt like it was never going to end? I've definitely been feeling that way about our daughter's bedroom, it feels like about a year ago that we first started renovating in here. We completed our last project in here over the weekend, so I think we can finally call the room done - yahoo! Today I wanted to share with you the cute little artwork display that we created, as a way to spruce up a bare wall and the perfect spot to hang our baby girl's latest masterpieces!

How to pack your child's lunch-box (and what to pack in it!)

How to pack your child's lunch-box (and what to pack in it!)

As school and kinder resumes this week on this side of the globe, I've been trying to get my brain back into the zone of routine. Not so easy after 5 weeks of lazy mornings! To make the switch, I'll be back to following my checklist of preparing everything the night before for a less stressful morning. This week on the blog, I also shared my 'plan of attack' for how I'm going to put together healthy lunches for my kinder-aged son. I provided a list of ideas for kids' lunches and snacks (grab your free copy below), which I'm hoping will take the stress out of what to pack each day!

Today's episode of The Organised You TV shows you how I pack my child's lunchbox, the products I use, some tips for being more prepared in the mornings, and how I set up my kitchen in an organised way to make the whole process as painless as possible!

Do you struggle with ideas for your child's lunchbox and snacks?

I can't really complain too much about having to prepare lunch-boxes, as my son is just starting 4 year-old kinder this year. So I haven't yet experienced the daily task of lunch-box packing that I know many of you are used to. However, I have had to prepare lunches many times for both my children when we've been on outings to the park, zoo, play-dates etc. And it is definitely not my favourite task. Because I'll be making my son's lunch several times a week this year for kinder, I wanted to prepare a bit of a plan so I'm not scrambling in the mornings. Here's what I came up with that may be useful to you too...

28 clever pantry organisers

 

In my last post I asked what your top 3 priorities for an organised pantry would be. My own goals were to have my supplies easy to access, easy to find, and a clutter-free pantry. However, it's all well and good to set organisation goals, but how do you go about achieving them? And which products will be best for your particular set-up? Today I'm sharing 28 essential products for an organised pantry. You won't need every single one, but a mix and match of product combinations that will fit your space and suit your aesthetics and needs could be the perfect partnership for achieving those goals!

If you to had to name your top 3 priorities for an organised pantry, what would they be? Mine would be that everything was easy to find, easy to access, and neat and organised. An organised pantry is a necessity in my kitchen, I just don't function properly if things are cluttered and messy in there! Can anyone relate? Pantry makeovers are definitely one of my favourite spaces to take on. Here's how we organised our holiday house pantry to achieve these 3 goals.

Tips for an organised pantry

I promised that the 'Quick Tip series' would be moving to video format instead of a regular blog post, so today is the first instalment, with a look at how we safely store our knife collection in the kitchen. Safety should be the number 1 priority when you're organising your kitchen, particularly with young kids around, so this magnetic metal rack that we use is a perfect option. I'd love to hear how you organise/store your kitchen knives, it's always great to hear new ideas to make you think outside the box.
