Fondant Giraffe
I made this Giraffe for a friend's baby shower. He turned out so cute I just love him! It was actually quite easy. I just found the picture I wanted on the internet and copied it using my roll-out icing recipe. There are only four colours I had to make. I put him onto...
Hello Kitty! Cake topper
This is my favourite cake topper I've made so far. It's just so cute and I was very pleased with how she turned out. You can easily make a basic cake look great by making your own cake topper or figurine. All I did was copy of a photo on the internet. It's much easier...
Peppa Pig Birthday Cake
Every birthday I ask my girls what cake they want. Even if they are not having a 'party' I still go to the trouble of making them a cake they will LOVE! One of the reasons I do this is because they have been on an artificial free diet for 5...

Easy Cling Wrap Dispenser
I use Cling Wrap (also known as Saran Wrap) ALOT! I am always baking or have leftovers that need covering. As I'm also in a hurry most of the time I needed a convenient way to use it without throwing it into the backyard. More often than not when I visit a friend or...
Easy Handbag Organisation
Don't you hate it when you delve into your handbag to get your car keys or wallet and out comes everything else but what you want?!? Receipts go flying and you end up in a complete mess of frustration and disarray. I was just fed up with this happening to me every...
Keeping Track of Opened Food
Once a packet of food has been opened it's really hard to tell how long it will last or whether it's actually on it's last legs and you shouldn't be consuming it at all. For example, I got sick of opening a packet of cheese and going to use it again wondering how long...
Hard to reach cupboard organisation
There are a lot of things I love about my kitchen. But then there are lot of things that I don't like about my kitchen too including the colour of the cupboards (we are changing them to white very soon) and my corner...
Music for Motivation
I love music! It can be very powerful. It gives us a boost and takes us away to a happy place. Basically it helps get the job done. Whenever I need motivation to get something done like clean out a closet or even just to exercise I put on...
School Expenses Organiser
The notes that come home from school sometimes seem endless. There are so many excursions and fees to pay for it's hard to keep track of them, especially if you have more than one child at school. I have a system for...
The Importance of a Diary
My diary is one of the most important things in my little organised world. Without it, I think I would have 1,000 notes all of the house and be late or not turn up to most events and appointments! If you want to be organised and you...
DIY Kids Travel Activity Pack
These days there are so many events or regular activities like children's sport etc that we drag our other little ones around to and they have to 'just sit there' and wait until we are all ready to go home. Call me old fashioned but I believe that is not much to...

Invitation Organisation
What do you do with invitations when you receive them? Throw them in a pile of 'things to do'? Or do you get a phone call or text message on the day of the party asking if you or your children are attending? It's really frustrating to get that call! Once...
