Smashing it!

And just like that, it’s time to get organised for school. These summer school holidays have gone fast and I’m a little sad about that – and that’s the first time I’ve ever admitted that! I’m not sure I’m ready for the madness of school/sport/extra curricular/ social calendars to kick off again.

Domestic goddess I am not

New shoes and trainers were needed as were new stationery items – they mysteriously disappeared! Another thing I’m organising is our medicine cabinet. I try to go through it twice a year to ensure everything is within date and replenish any items that have finished or expired. Continue reading →
