How to fold clothes to increase storage {Quick Tip}

I was watching 'The Living Room' the other night, and professional organiser Peter Walsh was on, helping a couple clear through their clutter. I always love watching these segments (naturally!), because it gives a great look at the decluttering process and the amazing reaction of the couple at the end when everything is clean and cleared - such a great feeling! Hope you've had some success this month getting your wardrobe decluttered and more organised.

Be prepared for workouts

Be prepared for workouts

Despite being an organised person, the one thing I always find myself making excuses for is doing exercise. I do love exercise once I'm actually doing it, it's just the 'getting started' part I'm not the best at. Hands up if you're with me? I've used the kids as my main excuse, but also being too tired, not enough time, too much work, the weather is too hot/cold, too expensive to join the gym... It's a never-ending cycle of excuses! Here's how I changed my attitude and got more organised and prepared for workouts.

Today I thought I would show you how I personally store my belts and scarves, and give you a few extra ideas to help get this trouble-spot sorted!

How to organise food storage containers {Quick Tip}

I'm sure many of you can relate to overflowing plastics cupboards, with mismatched lids or ones that no longer fit properly, old tatty containers, and never being able to find what you're looking for. I think food storage containers have actually been multiplying in our house over the last few years! Here's how I put a system in place to try to organise them.

Organising with trays

Organising with trays

I've been doing a bit of reorganising in the laundry this past month as we just installed a second freezer in there. There was nowhere else to put it, really, so it forced us to rethink this space and do a mini makeover. A few things remained a necessity for my laundry space, though, and one was to have the washing supplies close at hand to make doing laundry as quick and pain-free as possible. Enter the tray as a wonderful storage solution!
