One of my biggest daily
stressors is the clutter in my house, it literally makes me crazy! I have VERY little time to do projects due to the fact that
Caden goes to school almost an hour away and the other 2 are at a different school, literally only leaving 2 hours before
turning around for yet another 3 hour round trip drive. But
thats ok, it's temporary and for my beautiful little ones! Moving on, I finally took 3 days and tackled the TOY ROOM, aka, our dining room connected to our living room, having too small of a house is a whole other problem I won't go into! The
wonderful picture above is the after!! (if you saw it before you this is great!) I love it, it is clean simple and organized. On the left is what I call home and baby center or area. It has the kitchen, the doll crib, highchair and mini doll table to set up tea and food, perfect! Next to that in the cubes is a few items in buckets that still get played with, rescue heroes, princess tiny dolls, a bag full of animals, and baby items like diapers, bottles etc for dollies! And on the top is puzzles and games. And all the way to the right is what
Cashlen proudly calls,
HORSELAND! This is where all of her play is spent, setting up farms, pastures, competition jumping arenas, and stables. I just needed to simplify and cut the toys we had in more than half, it's ridiculous (I am guilty trust me!!!) Kids have way too many
stinkin toys these days!
Another after pic of our living room, I moved the art/learning table to the corner over there, it drove me nuts right in the middle for the longest time and now it's out of the way and we can do art and handwriting over there. LOVE!
Cashlen passed out for the night on the floor =)
The other side......there is
Horseland and the reading area. I need to put more pics on the walls too, I have the pictures but no frames yet, why do they have to cost so much!
In the twins room where that little white table now is used to be
Cashlen's toddler bed, if you follow my blog you know baby girl doesn't have her own little
girly room. Sad for me to write. I moved her bed into our room, she sleeps with us still anyways so really nothing changed except now I gave the boys their own space to actually have their own toys in their own room,
genius! Their toys consist of superheroes stored neatly in a bucket under the table, trio batman stored under the table, 2 imaginext on the windowsill, playmobil baskets to the right and a bucket with a few games and books.
They play with playmobil the most right now.
See all that stuff behind Cashlen dancing, it was all moved from the toy area into the living room, now you can see why I was crazy cleaning all that crap up everyday!
I overflowingly filled 3 giant bins!
Toys will go to redo my Mom's toyroom, My mother in-laws house soon, some family and then of course some will be donated.
Another before picture, every one of those was filled with lots and lots of toys. I still have soooo much to do in the house, closets, the learning center/craft center in the kitchen, the medicine buckets, the kitchen, the list just goes on and on and it is so overwhelming to think of if you look at it as a whole! One thing at a time! We do hope to turn the garage into the twins room and get rid of the toy room in the middle of our living area all together and have Cashlen in their old room to herself! A little girls room with her own little toys and of course, PINK! But until then I am calling this "temporary sanity."
