I am trying so hard to stay organised in all aspects of the household. Doing the washing is under control – it’s the bringing in and folding and putting away which is the problem. Rinsing the dishes isn’t the problem – it’s the UNpacking of the dishwasher and putting away that is the problem. Tidying the lounge room isn’t the problem – it’s the things and toys and bow ties ... Read More

….and what do I end up doing? Manicure? Massage? Lunch with the girls? No, I tackle Giorgia and Annabelle’s bedroom…again! Got it looking the way it’s meant to look…and it stayed that way till 2.30pm when Annabelle came home LOL It’s amazing how much stuff I pull out of that room every time I need to do a big clean up of it! And this ... Read More

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW FINISHED!! Keep reading to find out how you can win a $50 Coles voucher (Aussies only!) The Mummified family and I recently had the opportunity to try out Mainland Cracker Cuts. I was excited to try these out on the family because it’s difficult to make sure the kids are getting their daily calcium intake. The 2007 Australian ... Read More

Hi, my name is Tina and I have a plastic tub addiction. I got THE LOOK from Bill today when I told him that I need to buy another plastic tub. He seems to think that I have enough. I don’t think so. He seems to think that I’m trying to compete with the Great Wall of China. I told him I’m just trying to keep ... Read More

I’ve tried a few different laundry systems in the past to see what would work in our family. For a while, I tried getting the kids to separate their washing, and make sure that all the pockets are empty because I’m sick of finding tissues and bits of paper that might have been a print out of www.zitcreams.com or something, and I did 2 people’s washing each day ... Read More

I haven’t participated in Org Junkie’s MPM for a while but I thought I’d might get into it again to create some organisation in the house and stop the kids from asking “what’s for dinner?!” I’ve hung a menu planner on the fridge so the kids can see for themselves what they can expect. In the meantime, I’m not having the same meals as the ... Read More

Do you clean your teenager’s bedroom? William has his own bedroom and Tiesha and Madeline share a bedroom. All three of them complain when I go in there to clean up their rooms because “we can’t find anything once you’ve been in here!” You’d think that, with the way they carried on, they were going to run out and get identity theft protection against me or something! ... Read More

You all know how I love my lists and charts…and you might remember when I blogged about Annabelle using her Little Billies routine chart. That works well for her so she knows what we’re going to do through the day. But we seem to be hearing a bit of quarrelling  from the older babes going on when it comes to chores so instead of confiscating the xbox and ... Read More

I love products that can be used for something else other than what they’re meant to be used for. One product I’ve found to have multiple uses is ALDI’s 5 stars shampoo. As a shampoo, it’s good for William, Giorgia and Annabelle’s hair. (Tiesha, Madeline and I need to use different shampoo but I’ve also used it for: giving the bath a quick ... Read More
