What I Got For My Birthday, Packing, ASD Struggles & New Organisation System

In this week’s vlog, I’m sharing my birthday celebrations, including all the fun of opening presents and a “What I Got” segment! 🎁 Our eldest came home to celebrate with us, making the day even more special.

I also dive into some real-life autism mum struggles, offering an honest look at the challenges we face and how we manage them day by day. Whether you’re a parent navigating autism or just looking for some relatable mum life chat, I hope this helps you feel less alone.

We’re also in full Halloween mode! 🎃 I’m showing off our latest costumes and getting everything packed and organised for an upcoming Alton Towers trip.

Lastly, I’m excited to introduce my new Organised Mini Break Planner and Organised Life Binder, designed to help busy mums like you stay on top of all the chaos that life throws our way! 📝 If you’re looking for ways to stay more organised, these tools are perfect for planning trips, managing your household, and keeping track of everything you need to get done.

Don’t forget to watch to the end for a pack with me for our upcoming mini break & to find out where we are going 🧳

AirTags & Straps For Child Safety On Trips

In the vlogs you will notice my kids wearing AirTags attached to their wrists with fun coloured straps. While AirTags are no substitute for keeping a close eye on your children, they can be a valuable extra way to ensure that you do not lose your children in busy places.

How do AirTags work?

Your AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in the Find My network. These devices send the location of your AirTag to iCloud — then you can go to the Find My app and see it on a map. The whole process is anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy. And itʼs efficient, so thereʼs no need to worry about battery life or data usage.

Labels

These are the labels that I use to label pretty much anything that has a chance of being misplaced when out of the house. From hoodies, bags and soft toys that can be left behind, everything gets a label. They can be stuck into the care labels of clothes or onto hard surfaces and after 24 hours are machine washable and dishwasher safe.

Pro tip: As well as you family name, put your telephone number on the labels. I have had so much stuff returned to me thanks to my phone number on these stickers! Make sure you replace the “0” with your country code (+44 in the UK) so that items can still be returned to you abroad. It’s also additional peace of mind that if your child is lost, they have your number in their clothing so that a helpful adult can contact you

This is ideal for when travelling and you need to get ready in unusual spaces.
