Letters from Tooth Fairies

If you're very, very kind, you could even make a little resting place for your tooth fairy by printing out the template on this site for a fairy gazebo!  www.thetoymaker.com/Toypages/06gazebo/

I've found a really helpful bunch of articles at the wonderful RealSimple.com  It's an American site, but don't let that put you off.  It always has masses of useful stuff and is heaven-on-a-webpage for control freaks with its zillions of articles about how to organise your life.  If you're like me, you'll probably read the articles and vow to start doing all the things they suggest only to completely forget 10 minutes later.  However, I have found that some of the ideas stick in your brain - even if it does take years to implement them!  There are 20 minute recipes and tips on how to reclaim your weeknights - so do take a peek.

If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed and could do with some help getting organised, then www.organised-mum.co.uk is worth a look.  They produce diaries and calendars that start in September and have great ways of keeping the whole family informed.  They are a bit expensive though, so if you'd rather print off a simpler free alternative, try the Organise pages on this website under Mums, Tinies and Tikes.  

Just had to share this great page with you:

It's written in a really friendly style and it's actually useful.  The plan suggested should work really well for under 11s and it may even work for some teenagers, but as they are a law unto themselves I wouldn't bank on it.  The structured approach may even help mums to find the energy to begin on rooms that would usually send them running away screaming!
