I am very sentimental. This is not a secret, I shed the ocassional tear after watching the end of Disney movies and I get very emotional putting away the girl´s clothes cause I can mostly remember when and where each special piece has been worn. I also love looking back at pictures, especially birthday pics cause it is just such a special day for a little one being celebrated all alone and also having one surprise after another.

We have had quite the birthday parties over the last few years. Each and everyone special on its own and I have loved decorating and planning them so much. Since our children are still young they probably won´t remember all of their birthdays and that is where my keep sake pouches come in handy.

I have thought up and down how and what to keep from their birthday parties and came up with some things I definitely want to keep every time.

What to put into your child´s birthday keep sake pouches

– the outfit they have worn

– cake topper with number or font

– little fondant figurines if possible to let them dry out before storing or any other cake

– garlands or confetti

– cute themed accessories

– printed photos I took on their special day

– birthday garlands or a printed poster

– handmade birthday invitations

– a little something from their gift bags if there was a kid´s birthday party

Of course you can keep anything you like in your keep sake pouches. This is just to give you some ideas.

The pouches are simple document pouches but I find them to very practical for several areas in our home. I also have them in our playroom holding wooden puzzles, beads or small figurines.

Mine are from SheIn and the size of a DINA4 sheet of paper. I get the pack of 3 for 5 Euro. They are made out of a soft fabric and breathable but you can get the standard colored plastic ones as well. Work great too.

The golden sticker numbers will probably hold a bit better on the plastic document pouches but I haven´t had a problem yet so I am going to stick to the white fabric ones.

How on earth is there always a mess somewhere. I have days where I definitely wonder where the messes are coming from cause I am trying so hard to prevent them and I am nearly done with organizing the whole home!!!!

This cabinet has been an eyesore since I have moved all things in there but I was just too busy to come around organizing it until Emilia searched for a specific cap and I have thought we lost it but found it two weeks later.

In fact it is a very simple undertaking ticked of in under 15 minutes if you have everything you need.

I already had two of the wicker baskets and got another two at JYSK. They fit perfectly and are only 11 Euro each, hold a ton and have a handle to pull out.

The tags are an old amazon find I have used in the girl´s room earlier. I didn´t need them much longer so I got some black and writable stickers on amazon and reused them.

These are the tags and these are the sticker. Both are very affordable and hold up really well.

Here are the before and after pics:

Christmas Decor Organization and Storage…

This post means two things – the most wonderful time of the year is over and I can organize the crap out of our Christmas decor and start the new year fresh.

I am very sad that Christmas time is over cause I have loved it so much this year. The girl´s had so much fun and where so in awe of every light and little detail. It was the cutest thing.

But like every season Christmas also comes to an end and we have to pack away all things magical. But how to do so. I am gonna say it as it is – organize it now and save time later. I myself have thrown everything into boxes years ago and just put it away and when the holly jolly time is back and you want to decorate and only find half of it somewhere joy is gone very quick.

So let´s organize….

Christmas Decor Organization and Storage Options

Wrapping Paper Storage

I have shared all about it in this short Instagram Reel. It makes a hell of a difference to have everything you´ll need for gift wrapping in one place than in three different. You can see what you have, what matches and what you could restock for the next holiday.

Garland Storage

This is new to me and I have seen this last year and wanted to get one once this Christmas decor period is over and I am so glad I did. It fits my 3 garlands perfectly and I can see what´s inside and it is also protected from dust.

Ornament Storage

I have gotten two of these divided xxl bins for my ornaments and I am very happy about it. They are pretty sturdy on the outside and hold a lot of our Christmas ornaments. You can also recognize colors from the outside so it is even easier to find what you need.

Christmas Tree Storage

I have used this huge bag for two years now and it is still my favorite way to store our tree. Of course this only applies to you if you have a fake Christmas tree. My mom is storing hers whole. She just has a cover to throw over and zip up. Only possible if you have the space and height to store it like this but also a great solution.

Decor Storage

Bins are your friend here. In all sizes. I store all kinds of Christmas decor in there. Figurines and all of my fairy lights. The girl´s room Christmas decor and

Pillow / Fabric Storage

I have folded my pillow covers, stockings, table runner and put then into this bin. On the other side are the Christmas pillows. Works great. This way I can immediately see what I got when I open it up again the next year. A little tip if you have lots of silky or shiny organza fabric – I put them in a empty pillow cover so they don´t get mixed up or a tear from another zipper for example.

!!!!!!!!!!

One last tip at the end of this post. If you are storing your Christmas decor in your attic where temperatures change a lot between Summer and Winter make sure to remove your batteries from everything possible. First of all they will decharge and not work when you need your item again and second of all they are more easily to leak with the wild temperatures and damage everything around because of the agressive battery acid.

And another thing. Don´t store wax figures in your attic if it will get hot in the Summer. A few of mine have melted into unrecognizable lumps.

Bathroom Organization…

Y´all know how much I love an organized space am I right !! I am sure there are also some of you around who value a label maker and acrylic organizer as much as I do.

So for today´s organization edition I am sharing how I updated our bathroom cabinet. To be honest the bathroom is probably the only room in our house I don´t like. I think it is too dark and there is no space to put something else like a cart to add bath salts, flowers and towels in a decorative way other than that it is fine. It´s roomey and has lots of storage space.

So here is the problem. All the storage space in the world won´t help if you aren´t using it right and this is where I am sharing my process.

Tools I used for bathroom cabinet organization

Drawer Organizer // The acrylic drawer cases are the ones I have been using for about ten years now. You can literally store everything you like in there. From make-up to hair accessories to hygiene products to office supply.

Acrylic Container // I have sorted all of my travel sized bathroom products into these awesome acrylic containers. I divided it into different categories which makes it super easy to find and store away things. There are different sizes available but I went with the pack of 4 cause they fit perfectly into our bathroom cabinet.

Acrylic Tray // I planned on using this in a different way but it ended up in the bathroom with all the other organizational pieces but it fits all of my shower gels, oils and body scrubs perfectly plus it is super easy to clean in case something spills. This is another point why I love acrylic organizer / container. Easy to use and clean.

Medicine Box // To store all of our medication I got this huge box. It hold up all of our medication and also Emilia´s and Chloe´s things. The insert of the box has so many single compartments to organize everything you´ll put in there.

Lazy Susan // How amazing is a turnable organizer for your cabninet. It saves a lot of space and also has so so much storage space for all of your bath items. I organized things by category here. I have one lazy susan for all of my skin care and one in the above cabinet for all of my hair products.
