How I plan in my Kikki K!


Hey Guys!

I have had my large size personal planner for a few years now and I LOVE it!
The layout I have used changes a fair bit, but I have found a system that seems to be working for me and my family. 
The inserts in this are the refills you get from Kikki K which, for me is so much easier than downloading, printing or getting some delivered from Etsy. They are just the standard weekly spread which comes with cute little decor on some pages. I like these because I can do just about anything with them. In the past I have ruled a line down one side of the section for each day and used that for tasks, meals, etc. Now I use the top line of each day to write down the dinner we are having that day. The rest of the daily section is used for general things that are happening that day and maybe a sticker or two.

These stickers kits I found at Spotlight and they are gorgeous! I love the rose and teal stickers and these kits come with over 1500 stickers, so they should last a while (depending on how sticker-happy I get). These were $20 per pack however with store discounts and using the store card, I got them for $14 each.

In order for me to know how much I have actually accomplished at a glance, I like using 2 different coloured highlighters to mark both what I have done and what I haven't done. So here in this week's spread, I have used pink to highlight what I have done and the blue highlighter for the things I haven't done. As you can see, I have managed to keep to my meal plan apart from Thursday, which ended up being takeaway.

The pen that I use is just the standard 4 colour Bic pen, that way I am able to colour code things as necessary. I do also like the Papermate InkJoy gel 0.7 pens. I have them in most of the colours available.
I also have a large notepad in the beck sleeve of the planner as well which I use for planning things out in more detail, brain dumping, things like birthday gift lists etc.

This has taken a while for me to come up with something that works for me and I love.

Thanks for reading!

Organising School Uniforms

Hey Guys! When it comes to storing and sorting the kid's school uniforms, it seems we have FINALLY found what works for us! For those who don't know, we have 4 kiddos and my mum works at the kid's school as well, so her uniforms are also stored with the kid's uniforms.  Right next to my desk in the kid's playroom (pretty much only has Lego in it at the moment) we have a clothes rack. The only things that get put on the rack is school uniforms, shoes, the hair box (this keeps all the brushes, hair ties, head bands, etc. together in one place) and school socks.  So here is an overview of what the uniform rack looks like and then I will talk about the sections. We'll talk about hanging the uniforms first! Each person has their own colour coat hanger to make it easier for them to recognise which uniforms are theirs.  BB has pink. Knox has blue. TJ has purple. Liss has white.  Mum has black.  Yes, they are all mixed up at

5 Quick and Easy Gluten Free School Snacks

Hey Everyone! As some people may know, our youngest daughter has been diagnosed with something called PANDAS syndrome. This means that in order to help her with some of the issues stemming from this syndrome, she has had to eliminate Gluten from her diet. It has taken a lot of trial and error to try and find some gluten free things she likes, but here are some of her favourites to pack in her lunch box for school! 1. Popcorn. We try to just make the air popped popcorn in the mornings, that way it is fresh for the day. But sometimes it is well worth the $3 for the Woolies homebrand popcorn that comes in packets. They also have the sweet and salty flavour that is always a hit in our house. 2. Mini pancake muffin bites. These are super easy to make and don't take long. Our daughter loves the Coles home brand I'm Free From Gluten range, so we just buy the pancake shaker bottle in that brand and pour them into a mini muffin pan. We add things like blueberries, chocolate chips etc to

A little update...

Hey Guys! Just wanted to jump on real quick and let you know what is coming up on the blog! We have our Large Family Laundry Routine coming up next and then a monthly meal plan for May after that. If you are enjoying reading our blog, thank you! My aim is to get at least 2-3 posts out a month at this point as we have a lot of appointments and possibly a surgery for my daughter. We also have a couple of birthdays in May so I might put up a Birthday blog as well! Thank you for being patient with me through this, and I hope you all have a great day! Much Love, Jacqui!
