Have I told you lately how much I love baskets? No? How about containers? Or totes? Or boxes? Or really just about any functional holder of stuff for that matter. I do love them all, they comfort me and I can count on them. When life gets [...]
Okay so someone on blogland (if only I could remember who) introduced me to Etsy not too long ago. Oh my heavens! If you have never had the pleasure of visiting you are missing out. It’s like a gigantic crafts fair online! It has sucked me in so bad that I [...]
I received this email in response to my Command Center post:
I have the same dilemma that you recently posted about. My house opens right into my kitchen. I always have shoes and my purse and my work bag laying on the floor in the kitchen when I get home. We also have a dishwasher [...]

Containers do [...]
We have a playroom downstairs for the kids. I have tried so many different systems for containing all the toys to no avail. I’m not a fan of the toybox - except for dress up clothes - because toys seem to get buried at the bottom and it’s impossible to keep all [...]
My son had this toy storage container in his room. I actually didn’t mind it when he was a baby because well his toys were smaller then. Now that he is a toddler you can maybe fit one of his trucks, trains or balls into one of those teeny tiny buckets. It just doesn’t justify [...]
