If you like to collect recipes from magazines, newspapers or even printed online recipes, then how do you organise them? Loose clippings can tend to become a jumbled mess and a real clutter-pile in the kitchen without some sort of organising system.
In today's video, I'm sharing two different strategies for organising recipes using binders. A binder is an easy system to set up, and will keep all your recipes categorized and in the one place! Watch the video below to see how I do it...
Would you call yourself a DIYer? Are you someone who likes to do home projects yourself to save money, or do you prefer to call in the experts? If you've been keeping up to date with our current home renovation, you would know that we are very much the former - mad DIYers. We are currently smack bang in the middle of some serious painting work on the exterior of our new abode. Over the last 9 years, we have painted both the entire interior and exterior of our house. And now we're changing it all up and doing it again! #crazy.
Completing the painting yourself, especially during a renovation when it feels like your money is flying out the door, really is a massive cost saver. When we compared some of the quotes upwards of $20,000 just for the exterior painting to the cost of some new brushes, rollers and cans of paint, it was completely worth the effort to do it ourselves.
Do you have any home projects you're planning on carrying out over the next few months? Whether it's an entire room or home makeover, a kitchen re-organisation, clearing out the garage, or sorting through the mess in a linen closet, it's always best to tackle any project with a detailed plan. Today I'm sharing our new laundry design, along with a free project planner for you to use if you've got an upcoming venture of your own. Here's to project planning.... and wishing and dreaming!
Whether we like it or not, a lot of time is spent in the laundry, be it sorting, washing, hanging, folding, ironing.... There are always laundry-related tasks that need to be completed, especially if you have a large family. So, in my opinion, every effort should be made to create an organised, functional and efficient space, as well as one that looks nice so you enjoy spending time in there (well, as much as one can enjoy spending time doing laundry!). Due to our current home renovation, we will need to redo our laundry room in the very near future. We weren't quite prepared for having to tackle this project so soon, so we've been doing lots of research and taking note of clever storage and organisation ideas to incorporate into our new space. Today I'm sharing some of the creative laundry ideas I've come across, as well as a free project planner to get you thinking about your wish-list if you've got a project of your own in the works. Ready to be inspired?
Are you a paper and pen person, or do you prefer to let technology give you a helping hand when it comes to organising your daily tasks and scheduling? I have to admit that I tend to lean more towards the former, but recently I've been experimenting with and trialling a few different time-saving phone and desktop apps. Today I'm sharing 10 of the best apps (all free and available on the iTunes store) that are designed to help you be more productive and get more organised. Choosing an app that will work best for you really comes down to experimenting with what works best for you and your particular needs and situation. But you never know, one of these could be a total game changer in terms of how you approach your daily tasks! Let's take an app tour, shall we?
Ever since I started this blog back in 2014, I've shared lots of posts about getting your paperwork organised. Why the big focus on this particular topic? Well, I believe paperwork can be one of the most frustrating things to try to stay in control of and, if it gets out of hand, can really feel like it's taking over the house! Creating some simple yet functional systems that suit your family's needs will not only prevent the paper clutter from building, but will also help you feel more in control of your space. In today's post, I'm rounding up all of my paperwork organising ideas in one handy spot. I've also created a free workbook to help you get started on your paperwork organising journey!
