  • ***The coolest monitor of them all***

    Rylee age 13,

    I had a new monitor down on my birthday wish list so was extra excited when Mum surprised me with the Samsung Smart Monitor M7 to help review and test out.

    I lOVE to game, playing Fortnite mostly but also sometimes Minecraft and the 4K picture quality is insane in comparison to what I’ve used before.

    So sharp and responsive and I absolutely love the feature of the rotating screen.

    It can connect to a keyboard and I can run cloud gaming on it also which is cool.

    Sometimes I watch movies on the monitor and also have hooked it up to my school laptop when I need to do my homework.

    I am so surprised and how easy it was to set up our new Samsung smart monitor. Within only a few minutes we were enjoying the monitor. We have found it really useful for many different scenarios. It is so easy to stream from a mobile device. It also comes ready for sign in to Netflix, Disney etc and you can also use Alexa! We also love the split screen function. It was really handy when we used the monitor in the kitchen for displaying a recipe and were also able to continue watching our fav tv series on the other side of the screen. Happy mum and happy kids!!! It is fairly light and easy to move around and we love the sleek design.

    Our favourite part about the Samsung smart monitor is the screen size and easy manouverability of the monitor. It is easy to see from just about anywhere but is fairly light and easy to move around. It’s not too big so can be used for watching tv or movies, gaming, in the home office or for school work. We have also used it for displaying recipes while cooking in the kitchen. So many features and looks stylish too!

  • We didn’t know we needed it until we had it

    We are absolutely loving the Samsung Smart Monitor M7. It is such a clever piece of equipment and has so many uses. So far we have used it in the dance room for dance practice either with you tube, phone screen mirroring from camera roll or from our cloud hard drive. We have also used it in our outdoor living area where we had movie days/nights. Hubby has also used it in his exercise area to stream workouts. It has also been fab for homeschooling the kids. We have tried screen mirroring as it is much larger than a phone or iPad screen. We have also used it to play PowerPoint lessons and watch Netflix or Disney documentaries. The quality of the picture is impressive and it was super easy to set up. We love its sleek design and it is easy to move around to different locations. We also love the slit screen function. It’s a fantastic piece of technology that we have found very useful!

  • It’s so cool

    I just love the design of Samsung Smart Monitor M7. It sits at a level on my desk that provides me with the perfect viewing angle.

    I really love the colors they are extremely vivid and the picture quality is excellent.

    I enjoy the huge display and I can use up the whole space doing multitasking. I really like that

    Samsung screen is smarter and more versatile. Great monitor for design work and gamers too.

    The monitor can work with a universal samsung remote, can connect to the SmartThings and act as a SmartThings hub to control all my smart devices is just so cool. And since the TV supports playback of 4K content via the built-in apps (YouTube, Netflix and more), there is plenty of content to watch!

    I love the picture quality and works great with my regular tv shows, gaming and my work PC.

    A perfect screen for the home office, in other words.

If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).

There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.

1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies

 

Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!

Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!

2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week

Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!

 

The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.

3. Use A Family Calendar System

 

Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!

4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session

Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!

5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions

Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.

6. Have A Snack Station

Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).

7. Set Up A Family Charging Station

One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.


While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.

  • There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!

    Reply

  • There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.

    Reply

  • The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.

  • A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.

  • We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.

    Reply

  • I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!

    Reply

  • I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.

  • I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
