DIY Dress-up Storage Solution

We LOVE dressing up and imaginative play here but what I didn't always love was the huge mess that was made as my daughter furiously dug through the dress-up tubs, pulling every item out on her quest to find one item (always at the bottom of the tub). I was also forever untangling items that were all caught up together so decided that it was time we came up with a new solution. It's worked so well and we love it so much that I thought I'd share it with you. To make your own easy dress-up storage you will need some space at the bottom of a wardrobe or cupboard. For about a total of $4 I bought a clothes rail and installed it in the bottom of a wardrobe that was used for storage.

I then measured the bottom of the wardrobe to see how much space I had for baskets/tubs. I found 3 baskets that fit perfectly and divided the dress-up accessories between them. Very happy with the results! Happy playing,Debs :) Sun Hats & Wellie Boots. Smiling like Sunshine. No Twiddle Twaddle. Abundant Life Children. 8 Reasons Why Fairy Tales Are Essential to Childhood.

Content just to be surrounded by nature, doing nothing more than breathing in the mountain air. The family and I have been doing more than our fair share of camping lately and this photo reflects exactly why I’ve fallen in love with our weekends away. The great outdoors has exactly the same effect on me as it does on my son. Here’s how it goes down. The best part is much of the time we’re technologically cut off from the world. I was starting to really wonder if it was possible to play with my kids without needing to check who was texting/facebooking/emailing me at any given moment.

In case you’re wondering, the trailer we take on our adventure isn’t ours. The camping trailer is not tacky or hokey or even “cheating” as some camping purists might insist. …looking like this! I’m being a little cheeky here – are American’s allowed to use that word? Let's Lasso the Moon. 10 habits for a well-run home. Or should I have titled this 10 habits to keep mom sane?

10 habits for a well-run home

One reasons moms can feel overwhelmed is well, because they are. They have so much to do, and a limited time to do it in. One way to overcome some of this overwhelmed feeling is to create some daily habits for taking care of your home and family.

We're loving it! It's been 25-27 all week and sunny. Yesterday hubby was inspired by a tv show that showed how to make a big bubble frame with two straws and a piece of string... he set to work on making it and I found some bubble mixture. The frame was an easy peasy task but the premade bubblemix we had just wasn't working - so I set to work on modifying a bubblemix recipe I had. With a bit of experimentation hubby aced it!

After her helmet-breaking incident a couple months ago, Charlotte gave up her bike and her scooter for two weeks.

Becoming Sarah

The only way I was able to convince her to give wheeled objects a whirl again was to let her pick out her replacement helmet by herself. She picked a cat helmet.
