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 ...

Our Family Morning Routine

So, since this is the very first blog post, I thought we could start with our regular school term morning routine.  Our Morning Routine Our mornings get really busy and tend to go real fast due to the fact that we are a one car family and I have to take my husband to work every day. We are fortunate in that we also live with my mum so I do not have to get all the kids up and bring them with me.  So my day starts at 6am, when my alarm goes off and I keep pressing the snooze button until 6:30am mainly due to the fact that I am NOT a morning person. As soon as I do get up it is time to wake up the babies! First up, my 8 year old son. He usually wakes up pretty easily and I don't have to keep going back to get him out of bed. He is also the one who, when he feels helpful, gets the bowls out for breakfast along with the cereal.  Next is my 7 year old daughter. She can be a little tough to get up some mornings, but generally speaking she gets up within a few minutes of ...

Our Evening Routine

Hey everyone! So last week was our morning routine, this week is our evening routine! I will go from after school pick up because, like our morning routine, our evenings do tend to go fast as well. So after school, they have a small snack like a few Shapes biccies or some yoghurt or cheese depending on whether they had any dairy snacks in their lunch boxes that day. I do try to cook dinner or at least prep it (chop veggies etc.) before I go get the kids from school to make it easier on us during homework time. The kids have a bit of a run around after they eat to burn some energy off before they get their homework out. We have a fairly big backyard so there is plenty of space for them all to play. A favourite game of theirs lately, is Ninja Warrior. So they use things like the trees and the swing set and the trampoline and most important, their imaginations. After they have had about 15 to 20 minutes outside, they come in, have a drink of water and get their homework done. For...
