My five year life plan

Eventually, we all have a plan for our lives, even if its a spare of the moment decision, but I hate change and love having my life planned out so that I know what I am doing with my life, so this is my five-year life plan at the moment.

I know plans change, and life can throw random things at you, but this is what I am aiming for.

2020

I want to have at least three books published by the end of 2020; I would like to have my businesses off the ground so that I am earning some more money from it; I would also like to have a few more brand deals under my belt for either youtube or Instagram. I would also like to have my endometriosis surgery.

2021

By the end of 2021, I would like to be monetized on youtube again as well as have a total of five books published and making me money. I want to have a few thousand dollars in savings so that I can start saving up for a home.

2022

I don't really have any goals for 2022 other than publishing more books and saving more money.

2023

I want to own my own house even if I have to take out a home loan. in 2023 I would also like to have two more books published

2024

I want to be able to open my own shop in the town I am living in so I can sell everything from my business as well as my photography which I will have on postcards and canvas and my books all in my own little shop, obviously if I have to take out a home loan this won't be possible for a few more years.

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters. Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times. My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

Tips for decluttering

Decluttering can help create a more organized and stress-free living space or even just make it easier when it comes time to move. With my recent move I spent a few months slowly decluttering and downsizing my belongings to make the final step of selling what wasn’t coming and packing what was easier and I thought I would share some of the tips that helped me as an ADHD solo mum of two declutter my house after holding on and hoarding a lot of belongings from throughout the years. 1. Start small Choose a small area to start, like a drawer or a shelf, to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Work for a set amount of time, such as 15 or 30 minutes, to maintain focus and avoid burnout. 2. Sort items Label four boxes as "Keep," "Donate," "Sell," and "Trash." Sort all the items into these categories as you go, this also keeps things clean when you do decide to stop for the day.
