Inexpensive Multipurpost Storage Ideas!

Due to the limited storage space in our new home, I am looking for ways to multipurpose household items for storage.  Here are some things I am planning to do:

1. Use an ottoman for a coffee table.  It can be used as storage, coffee table, and seat!

2. Use storage cubes as end tables, they look cute and have the added benefit of storage.

 3.  I plan to put a latch on Little Prince's closet so that he can't open it.  I will then store his dresser, plastic containers of winter clothes and things like that in there.  That will have the added purpose of being a bit of a sound barrier between his room and the neighbour's place (My adorable little autistic boy can be a noisy boy at night)

4.  I will use a storage bench in my room at the end of my bed as well.

5.  To make more room in every one else's room (other than Little Prince) I will be creating closet systems to store their clothes instead of dressers and a lot of the items I want to use for it can be bought at either Walmart of the Dollar Store. 

Catching Them

I love catching my kids in moments of special bits of cuteness.  Getting the chance to save an instant of time where my little ones are sweet, or funny, or simply magical to me.

Today, I noticed the kitchen doors were closed (which usually means the girls are up to something nefarious.  So I strolled over to investigate.  When I opened the door, I could hear giggles coming from the cupboards under the counter.  When I peeked in, I saw this . . . .

Two sisters sharing secrets and playing games in the cupboards I had emptied out while packing.  Such a sweet, simple moment to catch.

From My House To Yours

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there and to the man who has made me the happiest mommy alive.  I am so blessed to be mommy to all these beautiful children and to share this journey with you.
