24.01.2022 Are you looking for a natural deodorant that actually works and won’t give you raw armpits from the bicarb soda!? I’ve done the research for you so you don’t have to go through the pain!! When it comes to natural deodorants, I was quite dubious at first and then, well: disappointed! When I started trying the various natural roll-ons and sprays found at supermarkets and health-food shops a few years ago, I found they didn’t work. Then, when deodorant pastes came out, I t...ried them and found that my arm pits were becoming raw, and the brand of the deodorant didn’t matter all the first edition natural deodorant pastes did that to me. And the manufacturers, instead of admitting that their products were harsh, would claim that your arm pits just needed to ‘detox’! (Yes, that is a genuine email response I received when emailing one company!!!) READ THE WHOLE REVIEW https://thesanemum.com.au//natural-deodorants-that-actual/

22.01.2022 Do you feel like time is moving fast? Slow? Not moving at all?

21.01.2022 Can you believe Christmas is just a month away?! I love decorating our home, I love the relaxed and cosy atmosphere, the good food and the slow pace that nowadays accompanies our Christmases! If you've been following me for a while, you'll know that it hasn't always been this way... Like for many mums, Christmas used to be quite a stressful time of the year for me! Don't get me wrong, it was always "worth it", but definitely stressful! I will write a post about all tha...t soon (how we went from stressful to magical), but for now, I will leave you with last year's blog post about our Christmas tree alternatives!! It's become a little bit of a tradition now, that every year we try a 'different' Christmas tree! This year we are trying one made out of books - can't wait to share the photos with you all! https://thesanemum.com.au/blog/christmas-tree-alternative-2/

20.01.2022 [...] what parents need to understand, Maté and Neufeld argue, is that challenging behaviours are in fact not behavioural problems, but a relationship problem. And what should you do if you have lost your child to their peers? Reclaim them, he says.

19.01.2022 It’s the simple things in life that matter! We don’t live in a massive new house on a big block of land. Just an old cottage that is in need of a new roof and cladding, on a small block. But it is our home and we love it We’ve made it our own and over the years, through our journey of simple living, minimalism and practicing gratitude, we have learnt to seek joy in the simple, little things! Such as this beautiful morning sunshine behind our DIY fence mural that the whole... family painted. One of my favourite things to do is to sit here on this very porch with my morning cup of coffee . What is one little thing that you are grateful for today?? . #aussiemums #minimalistmama #mindfulmama #minimalistmom #minimalliving #mindfulmamas #frugalmum #frugalmom #motherhoodunplugged #slowlivingforlife #simpleliving #simplelifehappylife #frugalliving #livingsimply #organisedlife #organisedmum #perthmums #perthmum #adelaidemums #melbournemum #brisbanemums #sydneymums #darwinmums #frugalfamily #minimalistfamily #perthmumsandbubs #perthmumsinbusiness #practicinggratitude See more

19.01.2022 This week for me is all about reviewing the year gone and setting up my planner to plan effectively! For effective planning tips, I invite you to read HOW TO PLAN EFFECTIVELY: https://thesanemum.com.au//printable-planner-stickers-eff/ I love my bujo planner because it means I waste no pages! I will easily fit 2021 in the planner I started last year!

18.01.2022 Here’s to my new found hobby!! When I was a teenager I played with calligraphy with my brother’s proper @parkerpen Parker Calligraphy Set from the 90’s! I loved it and I am now tempted to try it again but will need to source those supplies! But for now, I have just tried my first brush lettering practice and have absolutely loved it! The kids had a go and my daughter loved tracing the pretty letters as well! At the moment we only have one brush pen from @pilotpenau (t...he PETIT3) and it is so quick drying and smooth that even our leftie son didn’t get any smudges! Though I have a feeling that my stationery collection will be growing as I am very tempted by other colours, sizes and brands! The tracing practice sheets are downloaded for free from @tombowau @tombowusa Do you have a hobby? #brushlettering #brushletteringpractice #tombow #tombowbrushpen #pilotpen #pilotpens #letteringart #letteringdaily #organisedmum #organizedmom #organizedmama #organisedlife #organisedhome #organised #bulletjournal #bulletjournals #bujo #bujoinspo #bujoinspire #bujoaddict #planneraddict #planneraddicts #aussiemums #aussiemum #aussieblogger #aussiebloggers #perthmum #adelaidemums #melbournemum #sydneymums

13.01.2022 Let’s talk family routines! Keeping your home clean shouldn’t be only your job, it is a family responsibility! Also, family routines can be as rigid or flexible as you want them to be, for example, our current family routine doesn’t have any time slots in it, it is just a list of things that need to be done. It also isn’t just chores anymore, it includes our kids’ miracle morning steps such as stretches, affirmations and what they are grateful for. If you have older kids, involve them in creating the family routine. If you have little ones, there is no better time for you to bring a routine into their lives!!!! https://thesanemum.com.au/m/how-to-create-a-family-routine/

11.01.2022 I know it is not an easy time for many of you, if you are currently in Victoria (or on lockdown anywhere else), how are you doing? I hope this little mindset-shifting reminder helps you see this situation from a different point of view.

10.01.2022 You know, we forget that when a baby is born, a mother is also born. And while many women take to the role with great ease, there are many women who find themselves struggling with loss of identity, relationships changing around them, as well as the struggles of everyday life. https://thesanemum.com.au//getting-through-the-day-overwh/
