Organising the spaces in your home doesn't have to be an expensive project. I often use items like shoeboxes, old phone boxes and inexpensive containers as simple but effective storage solutions. Covering the more unattractive containers with pretty paper is an easy way to create a unified look to your space. And of course labels are an essential step in keeping any space organised! In today's episode of The Organised You TV, I'm sharing some tips and tricks for organising your laundry cupboards using inexpensive and simple storage solutions.
Monthly wrap up: April
I can't believe April is over already - these weeks are definitely flying! For me, this month has been about reassessing and reflecting on what's important in life. Have you ever reached that point where life is so hectic you realise you need to make changes before you go under? I'm so glad I have people in my life that help to steer me in the right direction - and thankyou so much to many of you for the supportive messages, I was beyond touched!
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.
Reaching the crazy level
Today is an honest post, as things have been so hectic around here lately that I really need to unleash! I recently took on a new job, and although it is an exciting new venture and I'm really enjoying myself so far, it has also been very time-consuming and a stressful process learning the ropes. Having 4 jobs on the go, plus looking after 2 young kids and running a house, was all getting just a bit too much, and last week I had a big cry. Emotions have been running high this month for sure!
Homemade natural laundry supplies
I'm back today with more fantastic natural and low-cost cleaning recipes, including my favourite - washing powder. I talked last week about why I've decided to use natural, homemade cleaners in my home. I've wanted to go all-green for a while now, but always thought it would be such a time-consuming process. But in reality, once you have all the necessary products, the mixtures are relatively quick and easy to make. I believe that spending a bit of time and effort early on not only saves you money, but is good for the environment and ultimately better for your health, as you're not ingesting any nasty chemicals.
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!
