How to store your child´s toys…

 

….

(

I bet your kids also got a ton of toys for Christmas and that is okay. They need to play, to be imaginative and creative but as soon as January hits and the Christmas time is officially over I always get an itch cause there is just clutter everywhere.

We tip-toe through a land of Duplo, Playmobil, Barbie and Little People and in the end step on a Tonie Box figure which hurts so much you could easily have an open flesh wound. This is when I start to collect everything from every room start to organize and categorize and in the end order the right container/boxes whatever and tidy everything up. 

I hope one day my children are going to appreciate the order of their things and put every piece back in its place but I also understand that they are to little now.

This post has been quite the process in the making cause I for myself had to work through tons of toys. Not only what my children got for Christmas but also the things we had already. At some point the mess just becomes so overwhelming that I have to do something. In this case organize the hell out of it.

I have made a long overdue trip to Woolworth and got tons of container. They have lot´s of different ones at great price points. I especially love the small ones for teeny tiny things and you won´t get them everywhere. Other than that I can recommend Ikea for bigger boxes.

In Germany there is a little holiday on December 6th before the big 3 days of Christmas where the story of holy St. Nick is celebrated and children get a little something St. Nick places outside the front door. 

Hundreds of years earlier in the legend it has been nuts, citrus fruits and some chocolate which is also still a way to go  but there are also always some little toys, crafts or books.

Mother´s Day is right around the corner and I wanted to share some cute and affordable pieces I have gotten in recently. As you may have seen we are having another baby (more about it in this post) and I am so excited. Being a mom is the best job and the only thing I ever wanted to be (but don´t get me wrong it also has it´s downs and very hard phases nevertheless it´s the best). 

Everything is from SheIn but I am sure you can get similar things from amazon as well. I have used express shipping and it should be here in a few days.

Gingerbread House Decorating for Kids…

….

Happy Monday you guys,

it is a great one. The Christmas countdown has officially started. We are done with all of our Christmas tasks over here and enjoying the last with filled with tons of Christmas activites. Today is the annual Christmas party of our line dance group and on Thursday we are going on a dinner Christmas cruise and on Friday we are visiting the Christmas Circus plus I have planned lots of fun little things with my girls at home.

On the weekend we decorated our gingerbread houses and I was looking forward to this for so long cause it is so much fun now to see how well Emilia does decorating now. It is so much fun for her and she is so focused and concentrated. Just loved watching her.

A few years ago I made the dough myself and cut out all the shapes for a complete house but to be honest I am all about saving time and convenience now so I got a premade Gingerbread House kit. I also glued it together with hot glue wich was a game changer. We don´t eat them so it is also safe in terms of that.

I threw away the powdered sugar and the sweets from the kit and made my own royal icing and got some sweets that will work way better. The key is to have sweets or treats that are flat on one side so they are easier to glue to your house.
