We are home, hot and dusty from our Merry Mudgee Christmas; I hope that Santa was kind to you all. Did anyone get great gifts?  I would love to hear about your favourites!  If you remember our last post I love hearing this stuff so I can note down ideas for future gifts. How was the mess? Are you covered in Mt Giftwrap?  This post has a few simple ideas of how to deal with all the extra rubbish we seem to accumulate over the holidays.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH7_wlm-9nY The last few years the kids and I have taken part in Operation Christmas Child http://operationchristmaschild.org.au/ with our Play Group, we wanted the kids to learn that Christmas is about giving not receiving at a young age.  Thankfully they have embraced the idea of selecting thoughtful gifts for children less fortunate than them.

Stuff. Most of us simply have too much of it. We’re all aware of that. It's that time of year again . . . when millions of dollars are spent on items that the recipients simply don't want.  Unwanted gifts often end up cluttering up homes for years to come and sadly will eventually end up in landfill. But with relatives and kids and dear friends in need of thanks… how can you get through Christmas without buying small mountains of not-really-needed things?

Have I ever told you how much I love Pinterest?  Well I do (nearly as much as I love hubby – happy birthday handsome xxx)

Birthday boy is able to attest that a large number of my sentences start with “I saw this thing on Pinterest…” From a Professional Organiser’s point of view Pinterest is heavenly – you have the chance to “pin” ideas and things you love.  To quote from the about page of the site itself – “Pinterest is a tool for collecting and organizing things you love” (you can tell that is legit from the spelling).
