So Yay for me I get a house keeper coming in weekly from next week cause I'm a horrid house wife, and her biggest asset that she has mentioned is decluttering... which is something I sooooooo need...
Which brings me to my next problem... decluttering my 3 year old's bedroom... I don't have much to spend, and I have already wasted money on items that don't work so I'm asking you goddesses what tips and tricks do you have to keep your kids toys off the floor and away tidy... but not away so much that they forget they have it... (which WAS my plan of attach until 3 weeks ago when I cleaned out the new babies room...)
I have one of those cube shelves from Ikea. I think they're called Expedit? In that I have the baskets that all the toys go in. It makes the room look tidy when everything is packed away and the kids haven't forgotten about their toys. They enjoy pulling things out of the baskets!
We got a toy 'box' from Ikea that has a slide out toy storage section and doubles as a bench seat/extra flat surface...we love it. Can have things stacked on top of it (books, toys etc) and it still opens becuase it slides out from the front like a giant drawer...and it has a finger safe closing thingy so no crushed little fingers.
We use lots of different things, shelves, plastic containers (different sizes) etc..... I'm subbing cos' I could do with some tips too to improve on that side of things!
I'm off to Ikea on the weekend for brunch with a friend, looking forward to having a browse at the options for toy box's myself!!
Good on you for getting a cleaner once a week! It's one of the best things we've ever done! More time spent enjoying my DD instead of cleaning!!
I have a cude bookshelf as well with baskets and two plastic five drawer sets. I love those in particular as everything is sorted. THe kids just get the drawer out that they want to play with and then pack away is easy too. I have one for 'food', ponies, lego, potato heads....you get the drift.
All the dolls clothes/paraphernalia are in one of those kids sulo bins, as are the cars and trucks. and I have a small set of shelves with bins for the smaller collections of stuff (plastic animals, musical instruments etc)
