Climbing out of the Chaos

        

          We're trying to reclaim our house from the holiday season, slowly but we're getting there. Cale did an amazing job on our kitchen last night, which was amazing. I felt like the kitchen was eating us alive, and this morning was so easy. Everything was organized, and my coffee maker I got for Christmas had a pot of coffee ready to go still warm from Cale brewing it at 5am.

         Meanwhile, since we spend most of our time in the basement, I've been trying to reclaim it. It was Jake's first Christmas, so I figured we would officially be overrun by toys, and the family did not disappoint. Our old tote didn't contain the collection that was Jake's toys.

          Because neccisty is the mother of invention, I did what most moms would do...I went on pinterest...aka mom porn. What I came up with was two toy bins that slide under the futon, and I  had all of the supplies in my house already.

          A couple of mismatched sheets, a hot glue gun, and the boxes from Halloween we never got rid of and we got these...we still have large toy parking by the pack n play, but the smaller things are contained. Biggest drawback I see with these is Jake leans on them, and I watch them bend. I will likely look into a toybox by March, because we'll be celebrating a birthday then.
