					<description><![CDATA[We are fortunate to have great support from my in-laws and they frequently help out with childcare during the school holidays. When the kids are away it gives us the opportunity to have calmer days, as well as: catching up on sleep eating meals they don&#8217;t enjoy maybe treating ourselves with a trip to the &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of the changes I&#8217;m particularly looking forward to with our house renovation is our new study space. Our current study is a strange shape and not big enough for more than one person to use at the same time. The new study will be in the area of the house we’ve been using as storage area as &#8230;]]></description>

As we&#8217;re doing a full house renovation it means there is often a reason for my husband to get a new tool. Looking in our garage I think he must have all the tools &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This week has been about keeping moving. I&#8217;m not sure why things have felt so difficult, but it has been a struggle to get the basics completed; maybe it is because I haven&#8217;t been having high quality sleep or perhaps it is an impact of B telling me she is sad at school. BUT; I &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Decluttering doesn&#8217;t stop until you&#8217;ve done the whole house AND stopped bringing unwanted items into the house; otherwise the clutter spreads and returns into the areas you&#8217;ve already done so you have to start again. Following my success of decluttering my first room last week, I&#8217;ve moved on to room two. The master bedroom I &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[During the last five weeks I&#8217;ve used a little and often approach to sort through the contents of this room; I&#8217;ve removed lots of items and put away the rest. The focus of&#160;declutterday&#160;is to remove at least 5 items from the house each week, and that simplicity has really worked for me. I didn&#8217;t post &#8230;]]></description>
