Sometimes I am really organised, and sometimes I’m just….not!
I usually remember the big things but sometimes the little ones get lost in the queue inside my head, where everyone is jostling for position. I am sure most Mums have experienced this feeling at one time or another.
Thankfully, I find there is usually a solution when something gets forgotten. Sometimes you just have to get a little creative in order to find it.
We recently went to a three year old’s birthday party. I had bought the present and thought that I had a roll of nice blue paper at home. Still can’t find where I put that roll of paper, weeks later! It was a Sunday morning (and the shops are CLOSED in Perth on Sundays, come on people!) when I realused that the roll of blue paper was no where to be found. Time to think creatively!
A roll of brown paper, some jungle stickers and a gift tag made from a picture from the Perth Zoo magazine. The perfect wrapping solution for a three year old boy!
