That is what the inside of my playroom closet looks like. I will post pics of what toys I switched to tomorrow. Today is purple day so limited purple toys out
But, that gives you an idea of what my storage space looks like. I want to clean my filing cabinet soon

Well, here is the truth, not everything fits in there. My front room gets overflow esp equipment and dining room table is my staging space for the day. Tomorrow's toys are in there now. But, yes, I do not know what I would do without that closet!!

I wish I had a closet. I would love to close the doors and not see anything.

This was the previous owners formal dining room.. with those closets!! LOL! My dining room and living room are "attached" now, archway between the two. This space is at the back of my house, connecting to the breakfast nook/ kitchen and the downstairs bathroom. And it opens to the patio space. So my childcare space is gated off from the rest of the house.

I love the food posts on your FB too! It inspired me to take more pictures of the food I make the kids.

Thanks about the food posts! Sometimes I feel like I obsess a little on food. But, by taking a pic, parents SEE what their kido is getting I also don't want to post the same meals over and over to you all so it makes me a little more accountable too!

This probably sounds silly, but where do you get your divided plates for the children? I have been in the market for some for a little while.

Doesn't sound silly at all! I LOVE my plates. They are made by RePlay. They are made in the USA from recycled milk jugs (yay). I got them at walmart. I have the bowls and silverware too. I wish they had small non sippy cups! They are about 7 inches wide. They are deep enough for yogurt, thick soups etc!

my divider plates are from walmart too but they are colorful clear plastic ones, you can find them in the baby section. I love them and so do the kids. Now for my older kids I have divider plates too, they are bigger and I bought them at menards (I love that store)

I have these the plates and bowls and love them! They are deep for little learners trying to spoon out food.

I don't have the sippy cups or silverware.

Easy to clean too!

I have those too, I picked up the replay's and I like and use both. The replay's were in the same section as the colorful clear plastic plates, except hanging instead of on the shelf. I like that the replays are a little deeper.

Your meals look like mine do.

That's a big closet!

Since we are TTC, I am trying to figure out WHERE to store all of my extra toys and supplies. They are in the nursery right now upstairs (where the children never go). I feel like I rely on a room that I won't always have far too much.

I followed you on facebook, and am stealing some of your ideas! We are doing purple, blue, F, P & K this month. Purple lunch is on the menu now! That is AWESOME!

Thank you. I posted some other purple pics for you. This has been an odd week. I have had a strange mix of kids here. My 3 yr old was only here a day and a half so G has moved to next week
