Now listen.... you already know I'm not the most pinteresty, DIYish mom. But I had a problem that only pinterest could solve. Problem: Rohan and Kaya are taking over my master bathroom. Their different orajel tubes are all over my counter, they each have a million toothbrushes because they're obsessed with oral care and it's all scattered on my vanity.

LOL #teamtossitout Why I did it: I didn't ever want a messy, toy-filled playroom. The energy was bad for me.

I tried the parenting book tactics of "play with one toy at a time, put it away before moving to ...
How We Are Simplifying Our Lives, Bit by Bit
I mentioned yesterday that I would be paring down considerably before John, Roeybear and I move to our new space.
