Laundry Labels

I recently got a membership to Costco and started buying my laundry items in bulk but wanted a more aesthetically pleasing set of containers to put the items in. On a recent trip to IKEA I picked up one of the bottles for the fabric conditioner and a glass jar for the washing pods. ForContinue reading “Laundry Labels”

DIY Halloween Wreath

I’ve put together a little post to show you my simple DIY Halloween wreath. I really wanted a wreath for our door but I didn’t want to spend £25+ on one so I scoured Home Bargains for the necessary bits to make my own and I think in total it cost me £5. I alreadyContinue reading “DIY Halloween Wreath”

DIY patchwork quilt

This post is actually bought to you by my Mum. The original creative although her name is Steph so she’s Creative Steph! She loves making patchwork quilts and finds it really therapeutic she recently made one and documented the process so I could share it with you. Your first step is to gather old clothesContinue reading “DIY patchwork quilt”

Toilet signs

We recently bought a house and the first room I redecorated was the downstairs cloakroom. I wanted some humorous toilet signs but the ones I could find where quite expensive and I knew I could recreate for less. Yet again I used my trusty Canva account to create some free printables with funny sayings inContinue reading “Toilet signs”

Back to school checklist

My son is starting in year 8 and as we have had so long off school lately we are struggling to get back into the swing of routine so I created a printable checklist and put it into an A4 picture frame in his room. As usual I used trusty http://www.canva.com to create the printableContinue reading “Back to school checklist”

My planning tools and creating your perfect planner

I personally absolutely love a to do list and a planner. Over the past couple of years I have found that I am repeating my lists in multiple places, for example my calendar and reminders are in Google Calendar but I also write them down in my paper planner. I love writing to do listsContinue reading “My planning tools and creating your perfect planner”

Fridge labels

I’m a big fan of labelling items as I live with two boys and I have found that if I label the areas where I want things to be put I have a much higher chance of those items being put back in those places. I had some leftover blue vinyl so I used aContinue reading “Fridge labels”

Food Container labels

I have been labelling my food containers using my label maker but I wanted something more impactful and colourful. I am the only girl in the house (well, me and the dog!) so I went with blue vinyl for the labels rather than the usual black or white. Mainly just because I had the vinylContinue reading “Food Container labels”

Stock cube storage

I love cooking fresh food from scratch and I follow slimming world a lot of the time which is easier to follow if you do home cooking so I have all of the stock cube flavours on hand at all times. If you’ve never tried adding a vegetable or chicken stock cube to rice orContinue reading “Stock cube storage”

Drawer labels

I don’t know about anyone else but my son keeps his room a lot tidier if I give him a place for everything and label those places. I even label his clothes drawers. Normally I use my trusty label maker but he has a stack of large plastic drawers that he stores his ‘toys’ inContinue reading “Drawer labels”
