If you know anything about me, you will know that I love a list. And I love a to-do list even more. What I hate is an uncompleted to-do list. I started reading Organized Simplicity back in March last year and it has been bothering me for a while that I hadn't finished. I hadn't… Continue reading A Journey, Not a Destination

A Space of My Own
I realise that a lot of my quirkiness is just another excuse to procrastinate but I find it extremely difficult to focus on studying without an orderly place to do it. When I was given a day to myself last week I used part of it tidying up our spare room. I forgot to take a… Continue reading A Space of My Own
My Home Management Notebook
I was excited (because I am sad like that) to get to the sixth chapter of Organized Simplicity because it deals with setting up a Home Management Notebook. I have so far only set up two parts of this organisation aid but already I feel like my life at home has been transformed. I have been… Continue reading My Home Management Notebook
Tidy Bedding
I saw this really handy tip in my Martha Stewart Organising Tip of the Day email the other day. Our linen cupboard gets messed up so easily and we are forever trying to find the matching pillow cases for a certain duvet cover. We have reorganised it by folding up bedding sets and then storing… Continue reading Tidy Bedding

I am not really known for my green fingers but in the spirit of living more simply and therefore frugally, there is definite appeal in growing our own veggies. Admittedly, our crop is hardly going to keep us fed all summer but it has been pretty cool to see the pea and bean plants which… Continue reading Home grown
Project: Simplify: Hotspot #3 – toys and kid’s clothes

I don't really need to do any more for the time being with the clothes and toys although her… Continue reading Project: Simplify: Hotspot #3 – toys and kid’s clothes
Project: Simplify: Hotspot #2 – Paper Clutter
I am a bit behind with these but the important thing is that I am doing them so I am not too worried about the deadlines! The second hotspot for Project Simplify was paper clutter. This is something I feel I am constantly battling and it doesn't help that getting ready for the move and… Continue reading Project: Simplify: Hotspot #2 – Paper Clutter
Project: Simplify – Hotspot #1
Yesterday, I managed to (pretty much) complete the first challenge of Project: Simplify which was to organise our wardrobes. I was particularly pleased that this was the first area to tackle since our clothes were in a right old state since we moved in. As you probably know, our parents moved us into our new… Continue reading Project: Simplify – Hotspot #1
Organized Simplicity
Organized Simplicity: The Clutter-Free Approach to Intentional Living by Tsh Oxenreider I have just started reading this book because ricardo and I decided that this year, we were going to wrestle our finances into order and simplify our lives. I have been reading Tsh's blog Simple Mom for a while as it is a great… Continue reading Organized Simplicity
