ORGANISING! LABELLING! DECLUTTERING? Weekly Vlog

[@brummymummyof2]

Hello! Hope you are all staying safe and keeping well. As I mentioned in the video of you would like to donate you can here: www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/ukraine-appeal if you don't have the means I will be donating the AD sense from this video so just by watching you have helped out. I like to see my channel as a cosy corner of the internet so hopefully I help you out with a bit of a distraction from the awful things going on. Sending you much love xxxxx

Airbnb is raising money towards hosts taking in refugees. Also read about someone booking Airbnb places in Ukraine (obviously not going) just so they have money coming in.

I like that your channel is not full of the troubles of the world. It’s lovely to escape to a happy place of organisation and other things. Thank you. The kids costumes were amazing 🤩 xx

[@brummymummyof2]

Thank you! They loved them!!

[@rachelwhite4320]

I love the fact that you keep your channel a stress free zone, we all need a fun escape from everyday cr*p ❤️

[@dawnyarrow3795]

I love that your channel is a lovely, cosy and joyful safe space. We are all aware of the awful situation right now and are able to help in any way we feel is right without expecting you to signpost things or advocate that we do so. You are a wonderful human, amazing mother and huge comfort and inspiration to so many of us. Just know that regardless of world events we appreciate you so so much x

[@brummymummyof2]

Thanks so much ♥️♥️♥️

[@joysinardet5362]

Hi Emma, great video. I like that you don't talk about all the horrible things happening in the world and just keep the channel light and a means of escape. We all need a few minutes of respite and I like your channel for the fun and the escapism!

[@brummymummyof2]

Lots and lots of love x

[@nicolagraham4561]

Oh definitely glad you aren’t doing videos about the news. I would imagine the majority of us watch you for your cosy content. It’s escapism, safety and comforting. Thank you for providing that space for us.

[@shashabmc1]

Thank you Emma for keeping this a calming, wholesome environment. I do use your vlogs as an escape, so I SO appreicate it!

[@janworthy2741]

Hi Em, thank you for being so jolly and full of beans, with all the horrible things going on in the world, you bring a bit of joy and normality to us. It is nice that you are so normal, if you don’t mind my saying so. The children looked great, hope they had a enjoyable time. Please take care and stay safe.

[@kittycatcoo82]

Love your cozy homey videos. We need a bit of an escape and you provide it. X

Have a lovely day! xxx

[@sarahbarker8198]

Thank you for being an escape from the bad news we are bombarded with at the moment . Sometimes we need a bit of comfort and joy from watching you even in times when things are not going well whether that’s in our own individual lives that is not going well or the world. Loved the kids world book day outfits , did they get a book voucher from school or your library? The bookshelf turned out well, the pretend plants are so realistic! Please can you do another plant care vlog please .

[@brummymummyof2]

Oh I’m not sure! They used to get £1 book voucher didn’t they? I’ll have to ask them! Will pop some more plant chat in a vlog soon!

[@sarahbarker8198]

@@brummymummyof2 my little boy got one from the library so they must be still going .It’s hard to choose a book from the book shop isn’t it , as there is just so many to choose from. Do you have a spider plant ? Mine has died and I want another or a trailing plant that doesn’t need too much looking after? Any suggestions please let me know? Thank you 😊

[@victoriabell5062]

Love this and I too love that you keep your channel an escape from the real world… so comforting to listen to normal everyday tasks and life! Those photo albums would have tipped me over the edge, I couldn’t cope with all different shapes and sizes! 😆😆 You’ve inspired me to do mine though! 🥰 xx

[@brummymummyof2]

Ha ha haaaaa! Same!

[@EmmaCossey]

Thank you! I’ve been paralysed by the news a bit, but this has inspired me to go have a bit of a declutter and organisation of our shelves. You’re like a joy fairy godmother :)

Thank you for being the safe space away from the news. I can’t understand people who expect people such as yourself to be talking about everything happening all the time. Just because you haven’t said it, doesn’t mean you don’t care! Currently in bossy toddler hell so you’re saving my sanity 😂

Love love love you channel, thank you for keeping it light hearted. Try using snapfish for your photos, you get 50 free prints every month and so just uploading from your phone each month makes it cheaper and easier to manage xxx

[@brummymummyof2]

Amazing tip!

[@sunflower7766]

Glad you addressed the comments about you not commenting on the Ukraine situation on this channel. I have no idea why they think you should be. As I commented in the comment thread in your other video we know what is going on. There is enough social media covering it.

[@brummymummyof2]

♥️♥️♥️

[@chloerose5442]

Just on the Chinese money plant - I’ve got one in a sunny window and seems to be happy so might be that it needs more light?? 💚🌱

The only problem with that wallpaper wall in your upstairs office nook is that it is so distractingly pretty I don’t notice what you’ve been talking about the whole time you’re in front of it…I just space out and think about how great it would look on my bedroom accent wall 💕 Happy March organisation Emma Friends 👑♥️🥂

I only have plastic plants now. My real plants were removed by mother as she thought I wasn't fit to keep them alive. some looked a little sad in my care. They are now thriving in her care. Funny enough she didn't take her grandkids with her just the plants 🤷‍♀️

Morning Emma having brought my DM's Nov last year i had a nightmare breaking them in if your boots are rubbing your heels get a hammer and bang the leather on the heel of your boots works a treat but then they rubbed my toe so took them to Timpsons for a stretch they are now so comfortable 😀. 🥰

I’ve heard they are hard to get fitting nicely!

Yes they really are it can take month's and loads of plasters .🥰

[@Ameliarv]

Chinese money plant advice - Re pot it into a bigger pot! They create babies so that random plant, you can propogate from the bottom of the root that meets the ‘Mummy’ plant! Then pop that in water till it grows proper little roots. When you pot in a bigger pot they will grow lots of babies mine is thriving loads in a massive pot xxxx

[@brummymummyof2]

OHHHH little baby plants!!!

[@ShokaLion]

A tip for those labellers. We use them at work and if you're doing a bunch of small labels, you're better off typing "2011 2012 2013 2014" for example into the printer and printing that as one label, then just cutting them into individuals with a pair of scissors. Then you don't have that almost inch of blank tape on either side of your label. Your tape cartridges will go a lot further that way.

[@brummymummyof2]

This IS GENIUS!!!!!!

Hi! I love these organisation videos. I hope you don’t mind me asking where you got the ceramic jar that you keep for Lucy. I recently lost my lovely boy coco and don’t want to have him in something very urny (wasn’t his style) and wondered where you found soemthing so pretty. Apologies if this isn’t appropriate :))

Love your videos so much! This one reminded me - My boyfriends mum has some of those figures of the little man you have and I accidentally broke one. I felt so bad so I temporarily superglued it back together (badly), tracked one down on eBay and replaced it. We still have the dodgy superglued original and no idea if she knows what we did 😂

Love it when you talk about your plants! I have so many houseplants and love them xx That polka dot begonia likes a lot of humidity but don’t panic if it starts crisping on the leaves it just means it’s not quite as humid as it likes. Just pop it in the bathroom when you’re having a bath or shower and it will like the small boost then you can pop it back where it was xxx

[@brummymummyof2]

Oh fab! Thanks for the tip!

[@louiseroberts4798]

Why are people asking why aren’t you commenting on Ukraine?! This is not a news blog so why should you. Like other people have said this is a fun, escape from the world blog. If anyone wants to hear about what’s going on in the world, watch the news or go on a news website, don’t be asking Emma why she’s not commenting. Love watching your vids!!! Xx

[@brummymummyof2]

Thanks lovely xxx

[@joannemcfaul6694]

I definitely think we need some escapism. I don't expect those I follow to be experts on current affairs etc. There are plenty of sources of news online on official news channels.

Hello! The TWITS look amazing! Regarding your money plant, mines gone wild on the window sill full light and I water it about once a week but not a lot of water. The little one growing can be removed and put in a cup of water until the roots grow and then re planted! They have lots of babies ☺️🪴🪴
