CityParkMom's Profile

My 3 kids share a room despite our now having a 5 bedroom house. They want to be together (they are 5, 3 & 1yr old) so we will not separate until they request it. Our older 2 sleep together in a twin even though each has a bunk. I love that they are so close. We also have a playroom (in the sunroom next to the living room)--I really enjoy the separate playroom. I stay at home & all the toys are arranged, organized & together. The kids spend hours in there playing (I am a SAHM). It's convenient because with 99% of the toys in there their room only has beds, clothes & books--so there is plenty of room even w/ 3 kids (a bunk bed, crib, 2 dressers & a book case). And in the evening we just throw the straggler toys in the playroom & shut the door.

Umm...None of the above. I did it all myself even more, I became a SAH & had the time. My newborn slept most of the day away & didn't make a mess. I could use the help much more now having a 1.5yr old & a 3yr old at home all day with me than when I had one newborn.

Great idea! I've been eyeing that bed for my girls but I have to trek a long way to an IKEA. I knew I would paint it but I like the chalkboard idea too (I'd make the homemade chalkboard paint so it can be something other than black or green)--or even using that white board paint or magnetic paint might be nice.

I use an over the door shoe organizer on the back of a door in my daughter's room for storage of small toys but they'd work for baby supplies too. You could even cut it down & embellish it if you are crafty. They come in several colors if you look hard enough or clear ones are nice so you can see what is in each pocket.
