Let’s get organised in December

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife

This is the last Get Organised post for 2016. Crazy, where has this year gone????? For me personally, this last quarter of 2016 has been exhausting, as a mum (little more below) and on the blog.  I am going to take some time off in the next month as I have been continually sick the past few months, I’m feeling very tired and burnt out and know I need to look after me.

I’m going on holidays with my hubby and kiddies for 5 nights to Daydream Island next week. I can’t wait to get away and relax!  Then when I come back I’ll write a few more Christmas blog posts. Then the plan is to take a few weeks off till after the new year. I have already been thinking about next year and the type of content I want to share with you, I am a little excited and I know you will be too!

Thursday is my kids last day of school for the year….. not sure how I am going to feel, because it will be official, all my 3 kids will be in high school Miss 11 graduates primary school to go into Year 7 and the twins will be in Year 9.  I’m all the feels this week. With this though my kids are changing and I also have to learn to change with them, they are becoming independent, forming their own identities, taking on more responsibilities and wanting more privacy.  I find this challenging (as I am a self-confessed helicopter parent).  I’m trying to find the right balance in my journey of motherhood, it’s messing with me a little, but I’ll get there.  I have experienced new challenges this year with raising kids, ones I want to share with you, but once my kids have found their footing and direction and don’t mind me sharing it.

Do you have any hot tips with raising teens?
