New Year - New Blog

With the beginning of a new year, I began a new organising kick. I've always been keen on the whole organising, crafty, DIY-type of life, but never did much about it. This year, though, I have found myself out of full-time work and so aimed to dedicate the year to organising myself and my home to (hopefully) help us become a happier and more relaxed family.

I've named the blog (somewhat facetiously) "Organise and Be Real" because in looking through the web for ideas to get our home and lives more into the realm I'd like to live in, I've found some amazing people, blogs, photos and ideas. I would love to follow and implement all their ideas if I lived in an enormous home where dust never settled on my artistic displays, where I had unlimited time and money, and a family (and I include myself in this) who all wore white all the time and had tidy hobbies which (again) left no dust or debris. But, I don't. Hence, "Be Real".
