I have been wanting to organize my garage for such a long time now and so I eventually started on Thursday and finished the entire task yesterday.First of all I had to do it by then because today,Sunday,I had to get stuff for my little one who is turning 4 tomorrow and I wanted to be organised for when my Mom and Gran get here on Friday for a holiday from the Seychelles.Yes,can you believe people

For those who noticed that it's been a while since I posted anything that is because I was busy organizing my garage first and then I got into the organizing mood and did my home office as well.It is such a relief.I feel like the world has lifted from my shoulders.I feel so good.I should have done this a long time ago but rather late than never.So here we go with my picturesThe Before Pictures

Today being Sunday and being a lazy Sunday and to boot,a beautiful clear blue sky Sunday,I was in no mood to do any housework,never the stupid garage that I still need to organize.Everyone deserves an off day and I took today.Me and my little boy rushed off to the shops and we bought a Winnie The Pooh bubble gun.I could not believe the size of the bubbles that came out.First the big ones and then

The school holidays are coming up which for me means cooking the whole day and every day for these kids of mine. My daughter usually has all her friends staying over and if you have to start making a meal then by the time you are done with lunch it’s time to start over again with dinner. I am going to be organized this time by making quick easy meals so I have been searching the internet for

In my bid to save money with this persistent global recession I was advised by an online guru (cannot remember who) (and I am a poet and did not know it).Anyway we are supposed to keep track of all our monthly expenses and then analyze which ones can be eliminated or decreased.Well one of my monthly things is my dog Sasha going to the dog parlor.She does come back beautiful with a pink bow and

This is going to seem off topic but really if we want to do home improvements,buy new gadgets and generally invest in our home we are going to need money.With this global recession everyone is trying to make some extra money on the side if possible.Just bear with me here.If you have a blog of your own then you have to know the hard work that goes into SEO for your blog.First of all you make a lot

This tip came unexpectedly.I took my little one year old in 2006 for his first visit to the plant nursery and this ivy was the one plant he chose.I placed it in a corner(with my toddler's help all in the interests of mom and son bonding)and did not expect much.This one ivy plant has proven itself to be an absolute treasure in that one ugly corner.I refuse to place another ivy plant there because

I planted this lemon tree in 2006 and initially it lost all its leaves and after about 6 months started to grow but I have yet to pluck a single lemon.I also think it has not grown quick enough.Anyone have any ideas how to boost a lemon tree?She does get enough sunlight and there is no way that I am going to move her somewhere else anyway because she has proven herself to be quite finicky.I just

About three months I ago I decided to be patient and chose a patch in my garden that I would spread a few seeds and see what happens.This patch is now looking much more beautiful than the areas where I placed grown plants.I used a mixed packet of seeds and was quite lucky that soon after that it rained quite a bit.I also mixed some compost before spreading the seeds but I am really pleased with

We all know we cant plant a bunch of small plants really close together because those same plants are going to get bigger and then they are all going to be squashed up and look terrible.But in the meantime while we wait for them to grow,the problem is the garden does not look good with all the empty spaces.I deal with this problem by filling up with rocks making a design which is nice to look at

I bought these this morning and you might be wondering what the big deal is.You will see later why these gloves are a big deal.First of all they are really pretty.See the part that goes over your arm with the nice kitsch design.But to be more practical they are really long so that helps with not getting water running down your arms.What I did was use two of my daughter's elesticated hair bands(

Okay now you're confused.Bear with me here.Just imagine all these shoes are not in this organiser.Now place this at the back of your pantry door so it is on the inside of the pantry.Now just imagine how much stuff you could store in there.Just make sure it is the see through pockets otherwise that would defeat the objective.So the aim of the story is buy a shoe organizer and organize your pantry

I promised on an earlier post that I would have my garage organised by the end of February 2009.Well February has come and gone and I have done nothing.Nothing at all!!What I will do instead is post pictures of what the garage looks like,the adjoining laundry area and the courtyard close by.Please feel free to make any comments,nasty or not.I am going to get this done.

It is a lazy Sunday and I thought I would just post on some more home tips.The first tip is that when you have a birthday party EVERY member of your home should take part and enjoy this birthday partyThis is Sasha,a valued member of our family not only because we love her so but also because although there have been many housebreakings in our suburb the thieves have completely bypassed our house

I have always believed in prevention rather than cure. When it comes to your teenager and weight loss there is a whole lot you need to be aware of. This is not weight loss from an adult perspective where you hope there is common sense involved. My 15 year old daughter is not at all overweight but seems to think she is. I was lucky to be a teenager in the 80s where the athletic look was in so

These toilet brush and caddy versions are truly beautiful and cost a fortune.If you have the money to spare then this is the way to go.As the whole world seems to be on the brink of collapse and I need to save money where I can I will only look at these pictures and hope that one day I might have one of them.In the meantime I need to consider the looks of the toilet brush,the health benefits and

Before you leave to go shopping for a fridge you need to measure the space where you intend fitting the refrigerator.Once you start shopping for one make sure that the size is ok to fit into your kitchen or the space where you intend keeping the fridge.Next check out the shelving.Is it the wire racks or solid shelves.I prefer solid shelves as they are easier to clean.PLUS when you mess on one of

Most stains inside the fridge can be removed by using bicarbonate of soda.Make a paste from bicarbonate of soda by mixing with a bit of water.Depending on your own fridge you can decide how thick to make the paste.The thicker the paste the stronger it is but it will cause more scratches.Be very careful when wiping off as exerting more pressure than necessary is going to cause scratches.I would

Raw chicken should never be thawed at room temperature by leaving it out on the counter.Rahter thaw out chicken slowly by leaving on a shelf in the non freezing side of your refrigerator.By the way you can even cook chicken from frozen and it even cooks faster this way.Obviously you need to remember that if you are following a recipe that asks for a certain amount of water that you should

This is what I do when I defrost my fridge.And yes I know that you get some fridges which defrost themselves.I also have one which apparently does that and yet every few months I still have to do it the manual way.Apparently this is due to keeping the fridge door open for too long which interferes with the self defrost system.And the fact that my fridge sounds an alarm that the door has been open

Have you noticed how your baking tray gets warped after while?And how scrubbing and cleaning ends up scratching off the original coating?It is not really healthy to carry on using baking trays with the coating flaking off as some of those loose flakes end up in your baked goodies which we then eat.I know tha I have in the past bought baking trays based on low pricing and after a while had to

I have no ethical problem with getting rid of rats.Or rodents but that name just makes them sound better and they are just rats.I know they are very cute when they are small and as a youngster I used to keep them and look after them until one of my parents would find out and that would be the end of them.I have tried not to repeat the mistakes my parents made with me but this one I have to agree

I hate ants but after watching the movie Ant Bully with my kids I have mixed views on destroying ants.After seeing all their hard work and what friendly creatures they seem to be I do not want to add to the bad impression they have of us humans as being evil exterminators with no regard for their survival.I now instead try to focus on making sure my home does not seem like a wonderful place for

There are many kinds of spiders and although generally most spiders are harmless just the idea of spiders,harmless or not, can make our skin crawl.We definitely do not like the idea of a bunch of spiders living in our home no matter how friendly they are.Now you have to decide which creatures you can abide living with you because spiders are insect repellants themselves.They do insect control by

A termite infestation can easily destroy your house. Ask me I know.The termites I got in my house ended up with me even replacing the carpets in my daughter's bedroom as they had come up from underneath and eaten through the carpet.I took the opportunity to put in laminated wood flooring which is much more expensive than carpets so I needed to make sure that I never get a termite infestation

Bed bugs multiply and can move throughout a whole apartment building reaching other residents homes.They also can leave your body with bed bug bites as they suck your blood.

There are quite a few factors to weigh up and think about before buying a home with a pool or having a pool installed in your existing home.A pool can be a great asset if you entertain a lot around the pool,if your children love swimming or if you exercise by swimming.It might also add great appeal when it comes to selling your home and at the very least a pool can be a great way to cool off on

I have a really small kitchen and you can see from the pictures from my kitchen renovation blogpost and a great gadget to have in a small kitchen is an under counter spice rack.This is great because you save on space,and if you keep your spice jars as you buy them from supermarkets then you know that they are not very pretty and all those different colours just detract from the colour scheme

Saving water inside the houseMost famous way is to shower instead of having a bath.Load your dishwasher with the "not so dirty" items first and set on a shorter cycle.Soak really dirty items of clothing overnight and then wash by hand.Then put in washing machine on a shorter cycleUse bath water to clean outside patio and patio furniture.By the way a really good way to get access to this dirty
