Taking the blog to the next level

Recently I was contacted by a friend who asked if I would be interested in providing help to her 3 daughters on packing, bedroom and wardrobe organisation.

They are a very busy family with 3 high school-aged girls with an equally busy school, social and sporting life.

Miss P and I had a wonderful day with the girls and talked through many of the packing tips mentioned in my previous blogpost. The girls seemed to enjoy what they had heard and were especially happy to be given the packing list to make their next trip a piece of cake.

The youngest daughter put her newly learnt skills into practice by packing her suitcase for camp. She did a great job. The girls noted how kind the schools are to provide a packing list to make the job so much easier.

We then talked about bedroom organisation and how to have a vision or idea for how you want the room to look and feel. We then discussed organising items into zones and how that might work. The girls already had some pretty good organisation happening in their room and picked up the new ideas really easily. We also talked ad nauseam about the art being able to discard things – a skill I still struggle with.

Lastly Miss P and I worked with the girls to organise their wardrobes. We pretty much pulled everything out and worked through what they loved and what didn’t give them joy. The girls were so decisive and it made our job super easy.  Quite a few bits and pieces were discarded and there were many golden moments of ‘ah, there it is’ (how I love it when a lost item is found). They arranged their remaining clothes into categories and then placed them in colour order. The middle daughter certainly picked up the concept the easiest and had a real flair with how her clothes should be arranged.

Our visit lasted 4 hours and we were quite exhausted by the end of it but what made it so worthwhile was the sense of achievement Miss P and I felt. It was lovely to put our ideas into practice. Thank you Miss P for your hardworking and diligent nature – I couldn’t have done it without you. Who knew what a great little organiser you are!!

The stunning Miss P
We are both looking forward to our next adventure taking the blog to the next level.


Until next time xx
