Being also a toddler mom but oviously not grown in the same mindset, I have a few constructive criticism comments to submit down here:<br />- quote: "sometimes it's hard for the kids to understand or let go, but they are learning some very valuable life lessons." Which valuable lessons are there? I find it soooo hard for a toddler to get rid of its own things that I believe it makes more hurt than benefit. In my family we used to keep things, my mum reused our own toys for my boys and I was so proud of it!! Also I do really find that you have definetely too much toys in this room, my kids didn't have a half of what you have here. I believe your blog is helpful for very rich and bored people, not for mr everybody's real life.<br />- where is the window in your room? Besides of having a wonderful play room, most important for kids is to discover nature, go out,see cars and trucks and trains, which is of much interest for them.<br />Your kids may have grown older since you posted this blog, hope they still have a good idea of your place.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-79630248912666654392015-08-23T15:35:17.396-05:002015-08-23T15:35:17.396-05:00Amazing!

When I labelled children's toy baskets, I always wrote the words also, in a clear font, so they were learning spelling and reading, too. It seemed to be very effective. I also posted a sign in their playroom with our address prominently typed, so they would learn it, plus Mom & Dad's cell numbers. In case of emergencies, they had these memorized quite young. Another tip I learned: our boys wore uniforms to school, so we wrote our cell #s inside their belts, for emergencies. All thru elementary school, I put (with Sharpie marker) the cell #s inside their belts. :) Thank the Lord they never needed them.... and are now grown.

Yours in the pictures seems to be much taller. I know that you have the top on it to bridge the 2 units but I just wanted to find out about those shelves. Under 5 feet is just not tall enough. Maybe they had something taller when you actually did it? Let me know. Thanks!

I have been aching over this forever I just want a neat toy room and got a couple canvas toy boxes, WHAT A MISTAKE, and that didn't work but all your work is awesome! I aslo thought of a few sturdy toy boxes, but toy boxes are so juvenile looking and not attractive and not really that functional! LOVE THIS!!! Thank you so much for sharing all the links to the stuff that you bought. The only thing that I would really like to know about is the one shelf/cabinet that you have in the toy room that has glass doors on the top and the cupboard door on the bottom on the front. Where can I get that entire piece at? Thanks so much!

I have heard that the Melissa & Doug brand has options for storage or to check educational supply stores. Also, scrapbook sized storage bins might also be an option size wise. <br /><br />xoxo,<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-71664143342955379002013-04-30T15:30:57.465-05:002013-04-30T15:30:57.465-05:00Hi! love your blog! can you please share with us a...Hi! love your blog! can you please share with us a link on where to find those mesh sorters you use to storage the puzzles?

I want to do the same with my Expedit unit, including the scrapbook paper idea to pretty them up. The bins are used by a 9 month old so the paper can't be accessible though. Is there a pouch in the front panel or did you just attach the paper to the panel?<br /><br />I'm hoping you come back and tell me there is a pouch.
