Storage Space

Dear Readers,

I am so glad it's Friday.  I look forward to the last day of the week because the weekend is near and I will finally have time to be with my children at home.  This week seemed longer than normal because my daughter was teething and so she was feverish and cried for hours non-stop.  She is usually clingy but this time I literally could not let her down and had to carry her in my arms all the time.  Well thank goodness it's over now and she is back to her happy self but it's been tough for her and for us to see her so miserable.

Now that she feels better I will be able to take our family out to dinner with my father and his wife who came to visit us all the way from Canada.  They are staying for a month so we will probably go out more often than usual so we can show them around the city.

I also hope to have more time to organize the new cabinets my husband has installed this week.  I desperately needed more storage space for my miniature collection, dolls and dollhouse furniture!  I started to store them inside the cabinets and I realized how much stuff I have.  I knew I had a lot but it's not until they are all gathered in one single space that it really shows.  I will have to do some more purging!

Here below are some pictures from the shelves I have filled.  It's just one portion of the cabinets.  There are lots more to organize.  Like my craft supplies and my son's toys... Hopefully I will have time to do it soon.  Have a great weekend everybody!

    1. I am glad to finally have the cabinets. Now that I can see where my miniature items are, I don't have to look everywhere for them. But the scary part is that you haven't seen my SF collection and doll's clothes yet...

    1. Yes it's so hard. The worse is that you know they are sick but they don't really understand why they are in pain.

    1. My children do play with most of my collection. Especially my daughter who likes my dolls. And my boys likes the Sylvanian animals. I have to hide most of the small stuff though otherwise they would lose them!

    1. Having cabinets is really a great way to store away your stuff and it saves space in the end too so the house is so much more roomy now!
