Organisation
An organised home is, well an organsied home!
Ok I love cube storage and anything that divides up the allocated space. Also the coat rack, bag hooks and shoe storage unit is AMAZING for organising everything you need at the door as you rush in and out from home to school & work. #target #hom...

Beach Bag - Temu New Zealand
👜 🏖This bag is EVERYTHING! I am using mine for everyday outings and it's so practical and stylish.
Bags for the Beach and Beyond
Being surround by small people means washing your hands 50+ times a day. A nice hand cream is a must have!

Godfreys have a great selection of Vacuum cleaners. This one is in my hall cupboard now and I'm so excited about not having to replace bags!
Titan 2000 Bagless Vacuum Cleaner
LOVE a good Beach bag. Summers here!
Beach Bag
Loving these little fruit forks. Perfect for lunchboxes to pick up up sliced fruit.
A great addition to the school lunchbox to encourage eating fresh cut fruit each day.
Clothing
Practical, good quality and affordable are my main criteria with clothing.
Had great luck with adorable and cosy PJ sets from Shein. Gotta size up though!
My daughter much prefers the cosy, stretchy material of these PJ's to the flannelette ones.
Great for layering under school uniforms on these cold Winter days.
If you're like me a struggle to get a jersey on your kid in winter, these Merino thermals are the way to go- you can relax knowing your little one has a warm extra layer under their shirt.
Must have to fight off the winter chills. Cute and warm, your little one will love to wear one.
Kids Ear Warmer - Etsy New Zealand
Miss 6 is loving her OpShop denim jacket so I've been searching for another. Who would've thought it I'd find it at Cotton on.
THE most popular item of clothing this year has been a denim jacket we picked up in an op-shop. My 6 year old wears it all.the.time.
Gorgeous long skirt, soft material and sits beautifully. Ideal for teacher /work wardrobe to dress up or wear casual.

These adorable cute and cuddly weighted soft toys are another option to offer a child struggling with anxiety or sensory overwhelm.
I have 2 weighted soft toys in my classroom and sensory/anxious/upset children seek them out multiple times a day.
Weighted blankets are instantly calming for kids with sensory overwhelm. There are so many options, including some with free delivery.
Sure does look relaxing, I've seen first hand the way weighted blankets are a fantastic aide for calming sensory kids.
Wouldn't be without this to keep those pesky hayfever symptoms at bay.
And like magic the sneezes are gone. Lorapaed Oral Liquid 150ml does wonders for managing my 6year old's hay fever symptoms.
The perils of being around small humans, in close contact- the dreaded little critters can make an appearance!
If you know, you know. I wish you the best of luck.
Has anyone tried this? How did you find it? The test apparently provides piece of mind for anyone questioning diet and environmental factors in regards to health effects. The Complete Sensitivity test offers a vast array of food and Environmental sen...
This is on my wishlist, can it really be this easy to check body health, food sensitivity and food allergies?
Toys and books
These have hit the mark when purchased.
I NEVER expected to become a fan of LEGO. These LEGO Friends sets have done it though. They keep Miss 6 occupied for hours. I'm always blown away by the creativity she shows with her own designs and builds as well.
Lego lives here now. I can't believe the colour range and endless amount of themed sets that are created.
Hours of fun for Miss 6 and myself with these rainbow scratch pads. 100 pieces so great value for money.
Literally hours of creativity and relaxing mindfulness with these 100 piece Scratch Pads. Fun for the whole family.
Do these remind you of another range of beloved animal family's?! Looking forward to the rabbits arriving any day now for Miss 6.
So similar to Sylvanian Families- quality and variety is amazing. The noticeable difference is the savings you'll make from jumping on the #temutrain!
These personalised books make a cool classroom resource or gift for a special little person.

Realistic Baby Dolls
So real they will make you look twice!
100% recommend this doll. Very lifelike with painted veins and detaling. Comes as a baby or toddler. My 6 year old has had toddler Madi for 2 years now and she's a hit. Such a reasonable price for the high quality.
Can't recommend these realistic baby dolls enough. Photos do not do justice to the quailty and realism. Snuggly and great quality. They are perfect for kids to have and play with. First step before an expensive reborn!
This baby is the cutest. Painted hair and great details with mottled skin and veins. So lifelike. A painted but assembled kit. Super easy to stuff the cloth body with poly filler, add weighted beads if you choose, and cable ties are included to attac...
In our house this doll is named "Baby Wayne" and he's an absolute favourite of my 6 year old daughter. Can't recommend these realistic baby dolls enough. Photos do not do justice to the quailty and realism. Snuggly and great quality. They are perfect for kids to have and play with. First step before an expensive reborn!
