20.01.2022 This is my Nappy Caddy. I re-used a trolley on wheels I already had and put it next to my change table within easy reach. The top level contains nappies for Miss 4 mths and Master 2, wipes container, nappy bags, hand sanitiser and nappy cream. The second level contains spare nappies and nappy bags that didn't fit in the top level. The third level contains swimmer nappies and pull-ups. And the bottom level contains wipes that I buy in bulk.

19.01.2022 This is how I have started sorting my wrapping paper. First I removed all of the inside cardboard rolls and re-rolled each one, sometimes putting one inside another to save space. Then I grouped them into "Christmas" and "All Occasions" and stored them in the largest mailing tube I could find. We are limited for storage space so they are currently under the bed in our guest room for easy access but may be shifted under the house if I don't find myself using them often enough. Gift bags, cards, tape and scissors are kept next to them in an under-bed storage container.

19.01.2022 It's time to go .... squeezy bath toys! I have diligently squeezed out the excess water from these toys after every bath time for almost 4 years now and I've had enough! The kids love them but I hate the mould build up that accumulates inside them which only bleach seems to get rid of temporarily. Instead, I am encouraging the boys to play with bath crayons, a tea party set and Duplo ... and they haven't even asked where they have gone :)

16.01.2022 Sometimes the thought (fear) of the mess painting with the kids will create is worse than the reality. Today I'm putting aside those thoughts by painting an under the sea scene (their choice) with the boys and embracing the mess!

10.01.2022 Now that little Miss 3 months has arrived we have received lots of beautiful clothes that require hanging. To keep track of each size and to make sure she wears each one before she grows out of them, I have made some cards for each size that fit around the hanging rail. I used a small bowl for the outer circle and a 20c piece for the inner circle.
