There is a word I have never really associated with that strongly and that word is ‘organised’. But as I have got older (and less wiser) I have found I have craved a greater sense of order in my life. Perhaps it’s the busy-ness that comes with constantly juggling keeping a little one alive, cleaning the house and finding enough creativity to help pay the mortgage and bills. My old ways of she’ll be right just don’t feel quite ‘enough’ anymore. I need more structure, discipline and hacks! So to deliver us hacks and advice when it comes to tidying up and organising our lives I am joined by Professional Home Organiser and Decluttering Coach Kirsty Farrugia.
