Week One of Term 4 has come to an end and it's a bit of blur of what we've been up to, so I am relying on my Instagram and Facebook to remind me. It's been a busy week, and there hasn't been much sleep happening, thanks to my teething toddler! Fingers crossed next week is better! Poor little man (and poor Mama).
Here's what I have been currently doing...
Cooking: One of my favourite slow-cooker recipes: Maggi Chicken Chasseur. It is oh-so delicious and I totally recommend it (with or without mushrooms). What's your favourite slow-cooker recipe?
Watching: my son get creative with painting (just like his Daddy, who is a spray-painter). When we started PLAY, the paint would always go straight to the mouth, now it's nice to watch my son put the paint to paper and create some special art for me to display at home.
Every night I spend 10 minutes in the Play Room...sorting, organising and returning toys & books to their 'homes', and because it's part of my evening routine, I don't find it an overwhelming job and it's done pretty quickly.
Toy Rotation boxes are great, especially if you have a lot of toys (that you are not willing to part with...just yet) and also grouping 'like things together' makes tidying up at the end of the day so much easier.
Do you have a Play Room or toy area in your home? Is it 'organised' or 'organised chaos'?
I never thought I would say this...but...I actually enjoy cleaning my oven. All I use is bicarb soda and white vinegar, and maybe a little bit of elbow grease for those stubborn stains. If you haven't tried this method, I recommend you give it go!
How was your week? What have you been currently ORGANISING, BUYING, and WONDERING?

We have a playroom which I spend ages sorting and organising....then leaving alone for months. My three are at an awkward age (4,5 and7) so they're growing out of a lot and really just spend most of their time in there drawing...which means paper everywhere! I can feel a re-organise coming on!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely gets overwhelming if you don't keep on top of it! oooh re-organising sounds like a lot of fun (well to me it does) tehe. Maybe set it up like a mini classroom, that's what I used to do with my daughter when she was at that age. She loved it.
DeleteWhat a fun and busy age. I am sure you have your hands full, but I bet you enjoy every minute! My daughter is 7 and I can't believe how fast she has grown. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely loving every minute (although not so much when he doesn't sleep). It's crazy at how fast they grow! Thanks for stopping by Emily.
DeleteWe have a playroom that is organized chaos. We have tons of IKEA shelves and bins for things by category but its still a mess. My boys are 7 and 4 so while the 7 yr old is over some of the toys the 4 yr old is still in them so we have a ton of everything. We did just agree to clear out the GeoTrax stuff so that will clean up some shelf space for some of the newer toys. The big plastic things just take up tons of room.
