I share daily tips, recipes, hints and ideas to help and inspire this community to enjoy the journey they are living with their family while easily keeping a tidy and organised home.  I absolutely enjoy being about to share my tips and ideas via my blog as there was one stage in my life I was laying on my bed, 3 kids under 2 playing happily, but yet I was crying, every day just felt like groundhog day. I found my way through it and I want to empower those that are feeling the same to gain back the control, to have a home you enjoy spending time in. Create calm to replace the chaos.

Every home and family are unique and there’s not a one-size-fits-all approach to life. All my tips can easily be adapted to suit your individual circumstances.

I went to a business boot camp on the weekend.  I have to tell you it was absolutely amazing and in the few short days I was there I felt like I came out of it with loads more clarity and vision.  As I mentioned, I absolutely love writing this blog, but I feel I could do so much more.  But what? I’m a bit unsure, I feel like I am stuck in my bubble of writing (because I love it and love sharing with you), but I know I can do more. I would love to do more how-to videos, I have been asked to write a book (not sure when as I don’t have much spare time) but that would be awesome, I would like to do in person workshops with you all, I would like to make my own range of products. There are possibilities.  I have just recently hired additional support so I have 2 lovely ladies working in my home office with me.  We are going to make things happen!!

Anyway, back to my story, at the bootcamp we were asked to write a list of the 20 things we are grateful for and I thought I would share them with you, being it’s our ‘eighth’ birthday.  See what I did there… grateful, eighth… gr8ful!!
