I am completely overwhelmed with the response to last weeks party. I was pleased to see so many bloggers join in and share their links. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to visit each one individually, but I will make it so when the kids return back to school! I hope you were able to glance through each of the blogs that linked up and find something that inspired you!
Thankyou to everybody that linked up, hope you can join again today!

I have been looking for a lego solution for ages, thanks for the link.
I would love to have a command centre / school bag nook at our house, but I have to think of something my 2 yo won’t ransack!! Lol!
Loving the command centre! Your blog is changing my life. I’m getting organized!! Ha
I love this site!!
Thanks for featuring my post, Katrina. Much appreciated! x
Any ideas on how I can keep my kids play area tidy
They are awesome ideas and I have finally thanks to you guys (talked hubby) into getting rid of a corner unit that has no purpose so i can do my toy room YAYYYYY!!!!!
Amanda we have a long shelf out of reach of the kids in our toy room that is lined with large plastic tubs with little bits/ activities like pencils/drawing, leggo, play dough, farm animals, puzzles etc etc. The kids have to ask play with them so only play with one thing at a time and have to pack them up before they embark on the next! That way there is only do much mess they can make at any one time lol!!
@ Lynne : When I was a kid my mum got a big round table cloth & put a draw string around the whole thing & that housed my lego. I was allowed to play on the tablecloth/mat & then when I was finished all mum had to do was pull the string & every piece was contained & she could hang it up in the wardrobe or back of door etc.
@ Tina where can I get the cream letter sorter in the 2nd picture?
@rebecca, my spare room is the same. Toys organized and one mess at a time!
Hello there Katrina – thanks for this opportunity 🙂 off to have a good read now – best le xox
I’m glad the first week was a success! That command center is amazing. If only I had room for such a good one at my house.
I am really enjoying browsing all these new (to me) blogs! Thanks for the awesome ideas, and for the blog link party 🙂
@ bec, thanks for the idea, great solution. My biggest problem is a 15 mth old getting in the way of the big brother who is 11. When he is building (he is autistic) so it causes a lot of problem. He is very particular about the way things are done. 🙂 He even has every piece colour coded, lol.
Lynne, my older boy has the top of a bunkbed with a timber board covering the frame (rather than a mattress) – it’s up away from the littlies and he loves his own time/space
