Here's how you can get (and stay) organised for the ENTIRE school year

A new school term means a fresh start, a chance to get involved a little more, a chance to do things differently, like be a little more organised… 

As mums, we have a lot to remember; when the kids have swimming, when they're off for the mid-term, when they have P.E and when the parent-teacher meetings are…

The list is endless so it's no surprise that many of us will forget a few things.

But not this year. No, this year will be different. This year, you won't rock up at the school only to find out it's closed for a teacher training day. 

This time you're going to be organised! 

While your phone is a great place to leave little reminders, there is something to be said about plain old paper and a pen.

Especially when they're this pretty:
