Making an effort

Is it just me or do others struggle to stay organised?
My mind has such a complicated way of organising things that is so unorganised!!
I write lists, then I write them again - like I'm reminding myself but really I am just wasting time I think.

I have found staying organised is something I really need to work at. After borrowing those books from the library the other month,  I found some new ways to stay organised and it really seemed to work for me - for a moment anyway. But I find myself making more lists over lists and realise I have fallen back into an unorganised state and I need to revisit those wise words I read and really focus on them and what I need to do to stay on track and get the most out of my day.

I dont think I waste away the day, but really think I could get more out of it and beat myself up about it.
On the other hand I also cherish the relaxed life that my days are filled with (when you really think about it) I can not complain. Busying myself with kids and household duties is not really the stressful life. BUT  I still think no matter what you do, being organised can make a big difference.

Its not that Im unorganised actually, more that I go the long way about to being organised. My processes are quite scattered and can be time consuming.

I do believe a busy person always seems to be able to fit more in their day, the busier you are the more you can take on. Maybe the easier it is to be organised when you have to be?
 I think its a personality trait too! And maybe a mix of loving it too.

So here I go.... getting focused on being time management sophisticated now!

It was a First

Our little man is a BIG 1 already!

Oh what a fun little person he is. Such a bright button and full of spark.

He makes me smile everyday.

We had a little backyard get-to-gether with our family and close friends, drinks and nibbles and of course a cake.

But not just any cake, a six layer rainbow cake  (egg-free of course)

It looks so good with all the colours and it tasted really good too.

I was quite proud of my efforts.

I used a basic vanilla cake receipe from Donna Hay Magazine and just left out the 4 eggs of each batch. Thats right, just LEFT them OUT! The cake was dense and moist, not crumbly, and everyone enjoyed it alot. I made the effort of lining the cake tins properly, which really makes a big difference in presentation. I didn't need to trim the cakes at all.
