On the blog last week, I shared a video on how I organise my fridge and pantry after a big grocery shop. There are definitely moments when I appreciate having a well-organised kitchen, and unpacking the groceries into a neat and clutter-free space is one of those times. It just makes everything so much easier! Today I wanted to share 15 benefits of having an organised kitchen - you'll always be a step ahead if you've got this space sorted, I promise!
Unpacking the groceries in an organised way can really save you time and money. Today I'm showing you how I organise my fridge and pantry after a big shop to increase storage space, and help the food to stay fresher for longer. It does take a bit longer to do it this way, but it makes my time in the kitchen, and meal preparation, so much easier in the long run. Check out my top tips in the video below.
Hi everyone, it's great to be back on the blog after a week away. As I talked about in my last post, my husband and I enjoyed a wonderful break in New Zealand for our friends' wedding. New Zealand is such a gorgeous place, have you ever been? We were staying in Queenstown, and it was just stunning. I would highly recommend putting it on your list of places to visit!
The kids had a fantastic time at home with both sets of our parents - we are so lucky to have the ability to go away and know our children are in safe hands. Despite missing them like crazy, it was just amazing to have so much one-on-one time. I always love a break from our everyday schedules, household chores and general busyness, but to have a complete break from parenthood was a pretty crazy feeling. Let's just say the wine was WELL enjoyed, especially at the wedding :) But I'm here today to talk about our holiday planning and personal goal setting.
I have mixed feelings as I write this post this morning. Friends of ours are getting married on Saturday in New Zealand. So my husband and I are heading off on a plane tomorrow for a week... without the kids. What does this have to do with an organising blog? Well, I wanted to talk a little about Mother's guilt - that gnawing feeling that we all have when we we feel like we're not doing the right thing, that we could be doing better, that we should be spending more time with our kids.
However, I'm realising more and more during this crazy parenting journey, that it's also so important to give ourselves a break every now and again, and not feel guilty about it. If it leads to feeling refreshed and ready to tackle all those Mummy tasks with renewed energy, then it's something we all surely deserve every now and again.
Making your own cleaning supplies is a great way to save money, and is very quick and easy to do. The natural ingredients mean you'll be inhaling less chemicals, and they really do an amazing job of cleaning the surfaces. In this tutorial I'll be showing you how easy it is to make your own products.
