This is a sponsored post in partnership with Western Digital. You could say I am slightly obsessed with photographs. Or you could say I'm mightily obsessed with photographs. I'm old enough (and wrinkly enough) to have a cupboard full of photo albums. Albums of me as a child, and many more throughout my life. This includes my wedding day - it's hard to ...

Organising Challenge For All – Whether Spring, Autumn Or Fall
Every day I pay thanks to the internet. And social media. I believe it's a miracle. And don't even get me started on Instagram. I'm a fan. Wherever I may be, I can check out what's going on around the globe . There are the most fantastic photos in my stream. This one not quite so fantastic, but a flavour of my day today.

Make Decluttering A Daily Habit
Frequently experts advise the way to achieve your goals is to work toward them daily. I'm someone who rebelled against routine for many years, believing myself to be a free spirit, ready to go wherever the wind blows.

Simple Top Tip Tuesday – Taking Note
I don't like kitchen clutter, food or otherwise. For me an organised kitchen is a happy kitchen :-) As part of my life simplification journey I try not to make unneccessary purchases and to keep items to a minimum where possible, with things having multi-use.
