{Favourite Pin Friday}

Although there are a fair few weeks left of the holidays for us here in the UK, my thoughts are starting to turn towards what Im going to do with my time once the girlies are in school.  I will admit, my first thought was "Go back to bed" closely followed by "Sit and enjoy the peace and quiet".  However, neither of those are particularly productive and I know I'd feel rubbish at the end of the day if I did infact, sit and do nothing (as appealing as that sounds).  

So my thoughts and pins have been centred around organisation as, come September, I will have large chunks of time to myself to organise our home.  Im looking forward to it!  Infact, I've already made a (very small) start in my kitchen. 

Here are a few of my favourite organisation pins from around the interweb.  You can see the whole board here.

I love this ladies blog and this planner makes life so much easier!  Its one of the best ones I've used and will be sticking to it (and I've used a lot of different planners!).  From Just A Girl And Her Blog.


Love the labelled baskets in the pantry.  That way, everything has its place and no one can say they dont know where that is!  Jen from IHeart Organizing takes us on a tour of her super organised kitchen in the post too. 


Some of the ideas in this post are just plain common sense (doesnt mean I thought of it though!)  Read more over at Mad In Crafts.


The Ultimate Meal Planner!  Im relatively new to the whole meal planning concept but this would make it a breeze and I reckon I could knock up something similar to go in my kitchen.  By Better Homes and Gardens


This would be perfect for my office area and am on the look out for inexpensive boxes to put all our crap important paperwork in.  Inspiration from Decorology.

So thats just a couple of the pins I've been pinning.  I also follow a few amazing organising blogs (see my side bar) that are full of inspiration.  Do you have a favourite organising blog?  Do let me know, Im loving finding new ones!

Favourite Pin Friday



Hello and welcome to another Favourite Pin Friday....on a Saturday?!  Apologies, have been on holidays this week visiting in laws and, well, you know the rest!

Anyway, have been pinning some "Back To School" ideas this week.  I'm hoping to throw a Back To School party for my girlies this year as I know they will be excited but also a little bit nervous about staring a new school year.  M will be starting junior school which for her will mean more work and less play!  L will be starting nursery which means new uniform in tiny sizes and going to "big school" where her sister goes (tissues will be at the ready on her first day).

So, here are some inspiring ideas I've found over on Pinterest to get them thinking about going back to school and also for our Back To School party!

I'd like L to start thinking about leters and numbers and what perfect way to do it, with princesses!!  Free pack printable from Over The Big Moon

So thats my inspiration for our Back To School Theme which will be the last week of the holidays, culminating in our Back To School Party!

You can check out all my boards over on Pinterest right....here!

Bye For Now!

Favourite Pin Friday

Hello and welcome to a new regular feature....Favourite Pin Friday!!  I love pinterest.  It is my favourite source of inspiration at the moment and one of the best ways I know to waste a couple of hours!

I've been pinning a lot of activities to match our themes for the summer holidays.  Kinda makes me wish the summer holidays were a few weeks longer as there are TONS of things we can do.  Needless to say, thanks to pinterest, we wont be bored over the next six weeks, which coincidently, starts TODAY!!!  Have just picked my oldest up from school and my youngest had her last day at pre-school today so the holidays have officially started!  WOOO! Think we're all ready for a break from the school year routine.

Anyway, here are a couple of my favourite pins from the last week or so.


Weather vocabulary from shenaniganinsecondgrade.blogspot.co.uk.  These will be perfect for M in the Weather theme we are doing.
Going to make this a rule in our house!  From http://www.swtblessings.com


Ok, so not had a go at this yet (as you probably can tell!) but had a look at the instructions via http://howtonestforless.com and it looks like something I could do!  So I will do it....I will!!
For our "In The Garden" theme.  I have two little girlies who are going to adore making this.  From http://www.ohmy-creative.com.
If you are interested in following all my boards, they can be found here!

Looks like this weekend is set to be another scorcher.  So I'll be busy putting the finishing touches to our Summer Holiday Themes (more about that next week) on my sun lounger, in the shade, watching my girlies play in the pool!
