Due to lack of time at the moment, we have decided to have a little (hopefully ) break from our blog. See you soon!!

Here is a little post to let you know what we do for fun in our spare time, ha ha .Well, when we aren't ferrying children here and there, doing the house work, or working at our real jobs this is where you will find T (left) and me ( right). If you can't quite make out the photo let me explain, we are in a warehouse surrounded by pages, boxes, plastic sleeves, putting together my.organisers. I am

She has just started another blog called The Haby Goddess, if you love anything to do with craft or sewing this blog is a must http://thehabygoddess.blogspot.com/ Have a look!! S

A women's work is never done!!Just a bit of catching up to do. As you can see I have added a followers list to the side bar so I can see who is reading our blog. It often feels like a lonely world not knowing who is reading, if anyone. So please add yourself to the list so I feel like someone is out there. Don't forget to tell your friends.The second thing is that the 2009 refills for our family

Locking Coffee MugLook at this really over the top mug I just found at Ingrid's blog, Heart Harmony.Proof that the strangest ideas have a market! A coffee mug with a hole in it that can only be sealed with a special key. If you have fights in the office over people using your mug then here is the ultimate solution. Also great for prestige coffee shops to do something special for their best

It is hard to believe in this day and age when technology is moving much faster than most of the Olympians in Beijing that there could be any easy way to get a website up and running. Well Jenni, from Jenni Markham Designs has some really feminine templates to get you started with a website of your own.

T and I are starting the long and difficult task of designing, or at least getting quotes on a new website. We have out grown ours and need a website that does a little bit more than our present one. I am spending hours searching the web for beautiful websites and I have found lots of gorgeous sites, one of which is Kathryn's website http://www.allyouneed.com.au/ not only is the site beautifully

Use your mobile phone to get organised!As we're all aware, mobile phones are no longer just phones.Mobiles have many functions we don't use but there is one we, at agoodSort think is great. Most phones have a 'reminder' or 'calendar' function which works in conjunction with an alarm. Instead of writing little notes to yourself, that you inevitably lose, or forget to take with you, take a moment

Did you know that chuffed means “pleased or puffed with fat”? I think these cats look pretty "chuffed". T and I were pretty chuffed yesterday when we finished an organising job. It was to declutter a home office and store room. We will see if we can put the photos on the blog to share them with you.

While the rest of the world is talking iphones, I am glad to say that we are still doing the simpler things in our house. Cup cakes!! they are a big thing in our house at the moment. Making them, eating them and taking them places (that is when it gets challenging). Look at this fantastic Cup Cake Courier from http://www.thecupakecourier.com.au/ .

I usually try to make our posts look nice but there is no way I can pretty this one up. I just have to share this clever product with you all. It has probably been around for ages but we have only just found it.This strange looking thing is a scarf (tie,belt) holder from Ikea. It has a funny Swedish name which I wont try to spell , if you go looking for it it is in the wardrobe section. I think

Do your muffin pans look like this ?? Really, I don't know how I even served anything from these pans without feeling the tiniest bit of guilt. Not only have they seen better days, they take up so much room in my baking drawer. I usually can't be bothered working out how they fit in the drawer so I store them in the oven.All this was until about a year ago I was given my first silicon muffin

Tricia and I have had one of those weeks this week. Miles too busy for how we like it but at the same time very exciting. We have got so many things happening in our business we are nearly bursting with excitement!! Lots of it we can't talk about yet because they are still being negotiated but I want to share a couple of things with you all.First off we are setting up some organising workshops.

Yesterday I went, once again in to organising mode+++. T and I had a really good, slow look at Howards Storage World and all their clever storage solutions.We are like kids in a candy store in that shop. I bought a great product. My utensils drawer was in desperate need of a tidy up so I went looking for a long skinny container for my drawer, so at least they were separated from the rest of the "

Two weeks ago The Power Family (Mum and Dad and 2 little girls) from Canberra set off on a trip of a life time. Travelling around Australia photographing our beautiful country. You might say what has that got to do with us? Well, to our great excitement they have taken a my.organiser to keep all their paper work organised while they are on the road. We are keeping an eye on their journey through

T and I have now been blogging for 4 months, not always as regularly as we would like but believe it or not we sometimes have trouble finding the time or a topic to talk about. It is also a very strange thing to post something on the Internet and not know who, if anyone is going to read it. We have been very fortunate to have picked up a few regular readers from both here in Australia and some

Long weekends are great, even if you don't go away!! I was given a book last week called "Life in his hands, the true story of a neurosurgeon and the pianist". Well I have finished it, and for someone who only usually reads when I am sitting on the beach on holidays, it says how much I enjoyed the book. I would say this is a great read for both men and women Amazing, sad, uplifting.....This will

Yesterday was "Throw out Thursday" in our house so I have a boot load of stuff to take to St Vincents De Paul. I have a range of different things I am dropping off from jeans that are too short, wine glasses that are not my taste (present from the Mother In Law), old dinner set, toys that are no longer loved and heaps more. I am sure that someone else will delight in my trash just as Elena at EP

Jasart Carry Sleeve from OfficeworksThis art file is under $10 from Officeworks and is perfect for organising your childrens artwork.It's cheap enough to buy one for each child, and thin enough to store it behind the wardrobe or bed.It's also great for organising x-rays, ultra sounds etc.It comes in 2 sizes (one of which is A3 and and the other 48cmx62cm , that is the one I have for my children)

Ok, now this is getting down and personal but it has to be done. I watched Susannah and Trinny last night from the famous What Not to Wear Show. They were doing a show helping older ladies jazz up their look a little. Getting them out of the pale pink tracksuits and over sized, body hiding shirts and getting them to show off their bodies and be proud of it. One of the many questions they asked

Look at this clever idea I found at http://www.potteringabout.blogspot.com/. These are bulletin boards made out of pretty fabric, round piece of soft timber or cork and an embroidery hoop. They look great in a group of three or simply one on its own. With a thoughtful choice of fabrics they could be art work. They are being sold on a website in the USA but they don't ship to Australia, so get

How many things are you signed up to on the net? If you're like me, it's not always possible to use the same userid and password to join up to something and you end up with so many combinations of the same few words ~ which of course you can never remember.A bunch of forget-me-nots are not going to help you, so here's the perfect organising solution. Obviously you wouldn't include your important

With Winter coming it is time for me to do the "shoe shuffle". No, don't worry I am not going to dance. You see, in my wardrobe I don't have enough room to have all my shoes on show all the time so I store the off season shoes in clear shoe boxes. I am sure you have all heard of the clear shoe boxes for storing shoes and boots. These days you can find them all over the place, on the net and in

I wonder how many Mums got a new handbag for Mother's Day? (I didn't, I got a blender!!)I was looking in the latest Real Living Magazine and they had some pictures of the contents of ladies handbags. Well, by the look of these bags the owners aren't mums or they are very tidy ladies. I am sure if most of us looked in our bag...not just the top layer, if we looked right down in the bottom of the

T and I are going away on Thursday,(to promote my.organiser) just for the night but as you can imagine to leave the family, only for that short time still takes a bit of doing. By the time you make sure there is enough food in the house, dinner cooked and ready to serve, clean uniforms, school notes attended ..... We may as well be going for a week. No, it isn't really all that difficult now, as

I don't know if there are many people out there like me but when I see a card I like, I buy it and put it in a drawer called our "gift wrapping draw." In this drawer there are cards, wrapping paper, ribbons....any thing to do with wrapping presents. If it is a card for a specific person I then write in the my.organiser on that persons birthday so I don't forget. Well this week I went to that

If you look at our blog recently we have mentioned or featured these great products we sell on our website, http://www.agoodsort.com/. They both would make great Mothers Day gifts.The first one is a great piece of Bling, it is a keyring that hangs on the inside of your handbag so you will never have to go searching around the bottom of your bag again. The other one is a clever little pod called a

Every house has loose keys hanging around the place, if you know what a certain key is for, label it and put it on a key ring with the other keys that are for locks around the house. If you have no idea where a key is for, test it in all the locks, if you still can't find a lock it fits place it with all the other odd keys on a key ring for "homeless keys." If it is too difficult to throw these

We at agoodsort.com believe in getting organised early. Mother's Day is next month so start thinking of what to get your Mum, and if your husband is like mine, what to get your Mother- In-Law. Most importantly, write a list of the things you want your children to buy for you. Here are some great candles I found at My New Shiny Shoes for the Mother's Day cake (we don't usually have a cake but it

This is a handy guide that should be as common as a drivers licence in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, co-worker or significant other. This is a great chart I found on The Tall Poppy , ...good find Anne!!I am a true believer in "if

This might sound really over the top but to help when organising and to keep the rest of the family organised...label everything. I have the shelves in our linen cupboard labelled, big sheets, little sheets, pillow cases etc. My panrty is full of labels, flour, sugar, coconut.... Let me explain, it is very basic, whenever you give something a new home label it. eg photos in a photo box label it

You may be asking why I have included a photo of a frangipani on our organising/decorating blog. Well, in reading about blogging (there is alot to learn) and surfing the web I have learnt that the there are so many beautiful blogs and bloggers out there who we can learn from and share with. Melissa from The Inspired room (USA) is doing a Spring Fluffing game with her readers (she has lots) and

“When life inspires our home, our home will inspire our life.” I found this saying on a lovely blog called The Inspired Room and there Melissa has some beautiful pictures of Clever office space. For all those mums, like us, who work from home and share the desk and computer with the husband and the children. We can only dream of such lovely desk areas.

I have 1000's of photos filed in my.pictures and every time I went to look for one, I'd have to scroll through all of them so I sat down and came up with a solution.This takes a bit of time to set up, but once it's in place, it will make the filing of your digital photos (and retrieval) a thousand times better.First create a FOLDER for every year you have digital photos e.g. 2006, 2007, 2008Then

I was at a girlfriends the other day and she was showing us something in her house but when we got to a certain point she said we couldn't go any further because the childrens rooms were a mess. We did have a look and yes, the word mess doesn't describe how bad these rooms were. Now this mother had lots of excuses but for an 18, 15 and 13 yr old, not to be making their bed??!!.

Well, isn't this a typical Easter in Sydney? Cold and wet!! How different from the stinking hot weather we had last week. The hot cross buns are being enjoyed at breakfast, fish will be eaten and if we are lucky the Easter Bunny will come on Saturday night and we will all probably sit and stuff ourselves with chocolate.I was just saying to my sister where have all these traditions come from ?

This is a great email I was sent-Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, 'I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed' She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for dinner the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container and put spoons and bowls on the table.

One of Tricia and my aims with our website, http://www.agoodsort.com/ and now blogsite is to unite mums across Australia. We are sure that there are mums out there who have little or no contact with other mums or even girlfriends.We both find our circle of girlfriends, who are also all mums, invaluable. They have not only been our focus groups whilst we were designing our family organiser ,

Not only are Sally-Ann and I business partners, we're also tennis partners and today she's playing with a reserve due to my bad back. Having had 4 days on the lounge, it gives you plenty of time to think about all the things you want to do. I spend alot of time organising my home and work, but shortly I'll be closer to 50 than 40 and I've got to reorganise my time to fit in some serious fitness

Sunday night was the night from hell. After pulling my lower back at 9.30pm, I could not sit down, laydown, standup, nothing. How do you sleep with a sore back? Having never had a back problem, except in childbirth, I had no idea how to get out of the pain I was in and get some sleep. At 3am, not that I was watching the clock all night, I ended up on all 4's on the floor (as I remembered doing

As I struggle up the stairs with the beach umbrella, 4 beach towels, 4 bath towels, suncream, hats,shoes, sleeping bags, clothes etc. I wonder, is it really worth going away for just 2 nights? (3 days, my teenager reminds me). Thank goodness I have trained my children into the holiday packing routine. They know to lay their clothes out on the bed for me to pass my eyes over before packing it,(
