Were you a teacher in a previous life?! Everything you do for your children is very teacheresque and I LIVE for it. I was a preschool teacher, so I love that you rotate their toys, display books, frame artwork, allow them to be part of your grown up life and so much more. If you haven’t heard this today, you are an amazing Mama. ❤️

I don't have children but still wanted to see this. I'm so glad I did because the first spot with your daughter wearing the eating art smock is absolutely adorable! All that wavey hair. They're both beautiful and I think you MUST be a great mom. Thank you for sharing all that you do.

After my kids aged out of having lots of toys in their rooms I moved our cubes to a spare room and use them to organize their sports uniforms. I have 3 kids that do multiple sports each for travel and school. Plus PE uniforms. Each kid has an assigned color and after a game or practice they wash and return the full uniform to a bin. Now the stress of finding all the uniform peices is (mostly) gone they are still teenagers after all. Monday morning they grab a PE uniform and off to school they go.

I need the traveling art case for myself! I always journal on the bed or on the couch!
The cubes you have in that room since I no longer have little kids 😭 I would use for books and plants and that bench seat would be a great place to have a coffee and read (esp if I had windows like you). One could even get a second bench portion and place it directly in front of the other to make it double the width, the bench would be great for a snuggle, a pet, or stretching out more and the extra deep cubbies could hold over flow items! I think we all forget that kids things can be for adults and adult things can be for kids! We get stuck in this box of using things based on what they're named instead of being creative with it all!

Can you share a link for the Kallax cushion please. Love that idea

[DanaDabek]

The tablet holder is also great when kids start drawing pictures from books or instructions printed from online. We use it to hold open instructional drawing books or other sketches so it's easy to see the directions and copy the pictures. It was awesome when the kiddo was into comics and graphic novels because she could hold up the last page she drew while working on the next one.

That red travel desk is the best! I’ve taken it on every trip for the last year.

My children are all grown but I have grand children that I can spoil now. You just gave me several ideas for Xmas gifts. Your babies are so precious. I love Finley’s hair, it reminds me of my youngest when she was small. You videos always make me smile. 😊

I had “backpacks” when my kids were young (30 and 28 currently) and they had a velcro white board and a zipper section to hold crayons and coloring books and paper. It was a travel lifesaver.

I'm so glad you made this video, I was just about to redo my boy's room and I so wanted to know where you got those cool shelves for toys. And that travel drawing kit is perfect for road trips. Also those frames will make their little hearts so happy with it hanging in their room. Thanks a ton, I definitely gotta go to IKEA.

Your babies are adorable! And yes, love Ikea for organization ideas!

[jphhan]

I never really comment on videos so it’s funny that I actually looked around to try to figure out how to do this just to tell you this. That’s how much I love u!

Your videos are so inspiring. They always get me going when I don’t have enough fuel to continue to do better every day in my life like I want to. Thank you for the videos. Please keep them up! You make my life happy :D

[kimigr]

Can you please tell us where to get the cushion for the kallax bench?

[StaitlyNatters]

My mother had a ‘craft’ table that we used, it was an older style school desk. A wardrobe hanging rail attached to one end allowed the rolls of newspaper (small local paper self printed) to be used both as a drawing surface but could also be used to protect the desk surface for other crafts such as paint or glue.

[nishienish]

Definitely getting that travel art case for the car!!! Your play corner is super cute, I aspire to have mine as organized… my problem: I can’t figure out the toy rotation or to actually keep it rotating!

[lisamiller]

I just love your area rug choices! I was inspired to copy you with a geo print rug and I am loving the look.

[jillievanilli]

I love your videos even though i live alone and have no children. Love the bench/window seat idea!

[colleenomalley]

Can you provide a link for the Kallax cube bench cushion? I searched IKEA and couldn't find it. Thanks!

Great hacks! Ikea Trofast storage is great for small Lego too 😊

Hi, where did you buy the cushion for this Kallax shelf please? I want to do simulator set up but can find it at ikea.
