3 Tips to Corral the Chaos:
1. Purge- I took out almost half of what was in the space.2. Redistribute- My goal was zero toys in their rooms but it wasn't feasible. Any toys I didn't donate, I relocated. I moved most of the pretend play items like the kitchen, high chair, etc to the loft and moved "calm" toys like dress up and blocks to their rooms.
3. Display- putting toys on shelves instead of in bins helped it feel more orderly which is counter-intuitive. And since Dax is so little it helps him easily grab his favorite toys.
This plan is totally fluid. There's a lot to do in the house so the playroom is not a priority. Oh and guess who just got a ridiculously expensive dentist prognosis?! Yay me. Regardless of timetable, drawing up plans for every space helps me to be more intentional with decorating our home. And bonus: It makes me feel like I'm doing something when I can't really afford to do something. Is my honesty refreshing? So there you have it!
