Linking and Voting:
Just a reminder how the linking and voting works. You can link up your living room/playroom posts on this post anytime from Monday to Thursday of this week. Please link up a picture that is of your actual kitchen and not a fantasy one please.
Even if you haven’t participated in previous weeks, you can still join in this week!
On Friday morning at 6:00 am PST, the linky switches over to voting and you’ll no longer be able to link up. Each thumbnail picture will have a star underneath it. Click on any star to vote but be careful because you’ll only be able to vote once.
**You are more than welcome to ask your friends to vote for you however please keep in mind that as we go through the links and remove the ones that aren’t playing by the rules, it is possible your link number could change.**
Keep track of all the necessary timelines by printing off the official calendar here.
Living Room/Playroom Challenge:
This week we are organizing our living room/playroom spaces. Some are fortunate to have both, others have to make one space work as two. I went back through my blog and realized that I’ve never shown my Alberta living room space on the blog before in it’s entirety. So I snapped off some pictures to show you how I make our living space work for us.
Since my kids are older, I no longer have to store toys in my living room but when my kids were small I had all sorts of tricks for toy storage in the living room which you can read a little bit about here.
The basket under my coffee table is where our homeschool books live.
The table beside our couch holds blankets.
I suspect that the biggest problem with any living space will in fact be keeping the toys contained. You can find all my posts on kid stuff here and you might just find a solution there that will work for you. I also did a post where I helped my sister come up with a unique solution for all her kid’s toys in their living room.
If you have any storage dilemmas for me, be sure to leave it in the comments and I’ll see what I can do!
