40 bags in 40 days challenge (Update)
How are you getting on with this challenge?
On 1 March, Lent started and so did our 40 bags in 40 days challenge. For the 40 days of Lent, you’d declutter one shelf, drawer or other area in your home per day. You don’t think it’s possible?! I challenge you! You can do it!
Why I won’t give up on my dreams
And why I love and live my dreams
The first quarter of 2017 is almost over. How much progress are you making with your New Year’s resolutions? Chances are a lot of us have given up on them. “Life got in the way!” or “I wasn’t that interested in it after all.” You’ve heard it before. But I’m not going to wait any longer. I’m going ahead with my resolutions, dreams and plans and so should you!

Why you need a trusted pet sitter
How to find the right care for your pet
Spring break is almost here and many families will be using the next 2 weeks to spontaneously go away for a few days. How great would it be to spend a long weekend on the beach, playing with the kids in the pool or finally reading that book? While hotels have plenty of specials for you and your children, your furry family members will have to stay at home. But who will look after your pets?
Spring clean your finances
What do your finances look like?
Can you believe that today is the first day of Spring? Looking outside and speaking with friends abroad, I guess Spring is still in winter hibernation. Is that a reason to also keep your finances in hibernation? No! Use this week to get a start on getting your finances in order.

Complete your countless projects
By using index cards for your projects
Do you keep a “honey to-do list”? A list of all the projects you want your partner to complete? Like putting up shelves in the pantry or creating a flower bed in the garden? Or maybe you have your own list of projects?
A few years ago, someone introduced me to organising and completing the projects on your to-do list with index cards. Whether you’re bored and don’t know what to do or you just gained some free time, you simply pick up one of the index cards and work on it. Sounds too simple? It actually is:
Maximise your network
Create and foster a powerful network
These days, it’s a must to build and look after your network. When looking for a job, you’ll recognise the importance of an authentic network as 70-80% of jobs aren’t even advertised. Instead of going through hundreds of CVs, companies are relying on their employees to refer the right candidate.
But a valuable network is not only for job seekers.
