I don’t have a ton of toys visible in the living room.
I definitely prefer calm, organized spaces. Thankfully, most of the more sustainable and safe toy brands fit with that preference in regard to color scheme and design. There is a little corner by the widow that we devote to two large toys in the living room. It’s a corner that is offset from the couch, so it was really a convenient space. Next, I discovered that legos are best stored in an ottoman with a lid. Reason 1, they cannot be dumped all over the floor (it’s a heavy ottoman). Reason 2, they are hidden unless being enjoyed. Win, win! I have also decided to give one of my lower kitchen cabinets to the kids for neat, covered book storage. IT. WORKS. The other space is next to the couch, where I have a large bin that matches my decor. In it are a few things that do not fit in the other 3 areas, such as vehicles, a blanket, toy camera, etc. Have you found any clever ways to store your kids toys in a shared environment? Comment below! :)

It took us TWO YEARS.
We were spending tons of money on a certain big brand sanitizing spray because it was the safest one I could find. Then the pandemic happened. So, not only was it very expensive, but I couldn't even find it anywhere. How were we in a situation where we had to sanitize everything, but could hardly (if at all) find the tools with which to do that???! I couldn't even find the stuff that had horrible EWG scores. That was the deciding point. We bought the Force of Nature cleaner! It is fabulous. As I try to keep these blog posts as quick reads, I will point you to the link to read about the science and effectiveness. It is really easy to use (and fun for the kids to watch)! To make the "family-friendly, multi-purpose cleaner that replaces kitchen, bath, glass cleaners, disinfectants & deodorizers"*, you simply fill the base to the fill line with clean water, twist open and pour in the contents of a capsule, and push the start button. Once, I pushed start before I added the capsule and it actually knew and alerted me to that. That boosted my confidence even more. I really enjoy not feeling like I am overpaying for a much-needed product and not having to worry about toxic chemicals in the house via "cleaning" supplies. "It’s on the EPA’s List N, the disinfectants approved for use against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19."* The kits include everything you need. Note: each bottle of cleaner lasts for one week, so keep that in mind when deciding on capsule amount. I cringe at the thought of going back to other cleaners. We hope you love it just as much for your home! Check them out here: Force of Nature *Quotes taken from the Force of Nature website. |
