Amazing Mums!!!!

I picked up a fab book yesterday -

"How to be an 'Amazing Mum' When You

Just Don't Have the Time" by Tanith Carey

and it so full of sensible value suggestions...

it makes me wonder why some of it hadn't

dawned on me previously.

It is a 'dip in and read' a section type of book

with suggestions on how to -

- arrive at school looking fab NO MATTER WHAT

- head off mess BEFORE it happens

- throw together a nutritious school lunch in ONE MINUTE

- get children to do what you ask the FIRST time

and such like.

I have already spent a little bit of time 'dipping in'

and am impressed. It is written by a UK author so some

points are more relevant to Northern Hemisphere mums

but that said I think it gives great value

AND it cost me a whole AUD $9.96.

Check it out at http://www.koorong.com.au/

On that note it got me thinking.......

my Max is a little older now but I did purchase

a couple of these recently

they are FABULOUS crayon rolls from

one very talented and amazing lady

check out Lindsey's creations here

They keep the crayon/pencil stash neat & easy

to find,

they are cute - she does them in a whole host of fabrics

AND she is absolutely delightful to correspond with.

I have purchased from her a few times now and always

get my orders in super quick time.

I gave one each to my sisters (who have little boys)

and they have both reported back to me that they

are a God send!!!

For you crafty clever chickies out there.....I think Lindsey

did a tutorial on how to make them about 2-3 months ago

so I say go fo it......

you will be considered a SUPER COOL MUM!!!
