Cheater-Cheater, Pumpkin Eater

Day 9 of the challenge is toy/playroom organization.  However, long day at school + new developments + I need to workout or my pants won't fit tomorrow = playroom on the back burner!  You may recall that we started prep work for this last week:




I also wanted to share some images from a previous post regarding how we store toys in our bedroom.  Yes, we have some toys in both rooms.  I'm gradually phasing out the playroom. More on that later!

I promise to be back with the playroom re-vamp, and I hope no one considers this cheating!
My husband and I built (he built, I finished) these storage beds using fantastic plans from Ana White.  We love them, the girls love them, and she had me at STORAGE. In my tiny house, storage space is at a premium!



Raise your hand if you love canvas bins from Target! Thought so.  Did you know that even the bread guy at Target recognizes us?  True story.




Please note:  We may have containers, but the room RARELY looks like this. 

I need a moment.

Okay.  Better.


Just to prove that the bins actually CONTAIN something, here is our bin for our Fuzzoodles.  P.S. I totally thought Fuzzoodles looked dumb and pointless on the commercial, but they are really fun and cute!  An easy, entertaining 'craft' for a rainy day.




As for the new developments:





I TOOK THE PLUNGE!!!!

I am now a Shaklee Independent Distributor!
I'm very excited, and just a bit nervous.
I really love these products and I'm anxious to share them with you. 
I'd love it if you click on the link to my site and say "hi!"

Everybody recognizes me at my Target. Oh, wait. But I definitely recognize guests.

And did I already mention how in love I am with the new canvas bins that kinda match your new red circle plastic bins? I have the small ones in red, black, green and blue. And I'm tempted to get them in the medium and large as well. Just because I love them.

Your girls room is just gorgeous. I wish we had Target like the USA does we have it here in Australia, but the stuff you see on US blogs form Target looks very cool
