Gift wrap can easily get out of control. I have limited the amount of gift bags I now keep. Wrapping paper is neatly stored in a container and I have a box full of spare cards and my address book. I keep a pen, scissors and sticky tape in the box too which makes wrapping presents simple & quick. *All these items are stored in the wardrobe of 👧🏼 bedroom.

No junk drawer in this house - have a home for every item and you will not need one 😀 Batteries, label machine, lightbulbs, super glue etc are all contained in this lovely organised (pink) box. We keep this upstairs in the wardrobe safely away from the kids.

Enjoyed some R&R away this weekend🌟💕 Today marks my 2 year insta birthday - thank you for following along with me😘

I’m trying to bake once a week, something different each week with different ingredients ✅ Hoping it will help with the snack rotation (👉We made these black bean peanut butter brownies last week before the chicken pox outbreak 😯) 👉SWIPE for recipe @tescofood 👉

Happy Thursday (aka Valentines Day) ... try not to compare too much today 😛🤭😂 ... I am already sensing too much red, love, roses and hearts on my feed already and it’s only 8am ...

Whatever furniture you buy - make sure it has storage opportunities 💕💪👌🤩 Books | DVDS | Downstairs Toys

*DAY 2 of Chicken pox incarceration* 😷... Sometimes i get too caught up on what I want to be doing or what I think I should be doing - but really playing ‘pretend pretend pretend’, the stinky sock game (classic - I’ll explain in comments 😂) and sharing a snack plate of raisins and breadsticks really will be the moments i will look back on with huge nostalgia & fondness 💕😬🤪 #timegoestoofast #theygrowupsofast

Downstairs Toys👧🏼👶🏼 - I go for a smaller amount that I rotate regularly- all easily accessible but hidden away in the TV Unit - keeps the kids attention much more *focused* having LESS. Our living room isn’t that big so I need to be clever about ‘the stuff’. *Currently sitting in an immaculate toy free living room, mood lighting, radio, essential oils diffusing and a small G&T 💆🏼‍♀️after a long day housebound with 👧🏼👶🏼 as we have chicken pox 😢 - Hope they sleep tonight! 🙏

Morning allllllll ! 🤪 I am a bussssssyyyy today - getting lots of admin done - I have about 4 hours of child/puppy free time to squeeze in about 2 days worth of work 🤯💪👩🏼‍💻

👧🏼 Draws LOTS ... I couldn’t possibly keep them all ... we try and dish them out to unsuspecting grandparents/neighbours/friends 😂 Really really really good ones get displayed in this little art frame in her bedroom. (It comes in white but we painted it pink to match her room) ... then I tend to recycle them. If they are super amazing I pop it in her art folder for her memory box💕

TIP - Setting storage limits for items in your home is the key to stop *stuff* getting out of control once you have decluttered. All those annoying tiny rubbish toys ?- 👧🏼 has one tin, when it’s full we sort through them. (I also try and refrain from buying them in the first place) ⛔️😝👊

‘Kelly we have heard what you have been saying about us and we are not happy ... ‘ Said the creepy toys 🤭😬😂 (...I think I’ve watched too much Disney’s Toy Story with 👧🏼 ... TIP - DO NOT ⛔️watch this film if you are about to declutter toys)

‘Muuuuuum I can’t find it!’ ... Clear storage boxes for the win 💪- Ok she still can’t find stuff BUT I can and that’s what matters 😂🙋🏼‍♀️

Chasing your tail? Charity pile growing ? Another trip to *insert shop* for more storage baskets? ... Watch my new YouTube video for my TOP 5️⃣ Decluttering Tips & mistakes to avoid 😬👌🤭💪

When switching 👧🏼 from a cot to a bed, we went with one that had storage 😝 This (Ikea!) bed has 3x generous drawers and we keep the bulk of her toys in here. As you can see most have been decanted into containers for easy viewing & storing 😂😆💪👌

🙋🏼‍♀️ Who agrees ? What books do you like? Pop any recommendations for me below 😍📚🙋🏼‍♀️ My genres have changed over the years in my pre teens I loved horrors & ghost stories 👻, then I had the usual love story easy read phase 😘, now I tend to gravitate towards true stories about survival or books that are around human behaviour & how we shape the world. I’ve had phases in my life where I haven’t read for whatever reason, but I am always the most content when I’m reading, learning & sharing. I go to the library most weeks to pick up & drop off books. Our council have an easy online system so you can preorder & reserve books - you just swoop in and pick them up. Use your library folks 📚🙋🏼‍♀️ (also no clutter & it’s FREE 😂🤭✅)

I am rubbish at keeping drawers tidy - (hence why i no longer have a chest of drawers for my clothes 😆) The only 2 things that help me keep them tidy are the Ikea Skubb dividers & rolling clothes as per @mariekondo ✨

I am lucky in that my husband likes organised cupboards just as much as me (ok... maybe more & he is obsessed by storage solutions 🤪🙄😝) BUT I do have 2 x small people & a puppy so I know the struggle of keeping things tidy. If you house share or live with a messy partner try not to let their lack of organisation ruin your space 💗 Quite often when other people see others leading by a good example & being positive they are more than likely to start taking an interest naturally (Heck - think of all the money you will be saving & waving in their face 😝) ... in the meantime shut their side of the wardrobe, let them have a messy drawer, avoid the shed, forget about the attic and just DO YOU - don’t let them slow you down.

There are no tricks - I just have less stuff & organise what I do have well. In Friends how many towel categories does Monica have ? Was it 11??? In the 3x pink @ikeauk ‘cubbys’ I have SWIPE, 1. Surplus toilet rolls, nappies, wipes 2. Towels 3. Bed linen That’s it ✅✅✅

The only way I have found to stop everyone wanting to ‘share’ my lunch is to make it spicy 🌶💁🏼‍♀️ ... southern fried (quorn) chicken bites, avocado, sweet chilli sauce & extra chilli flakes ... love a wrap, if there are any interruptions (which there always is) I can scoop it up and eat it on the go 💃🏻
