This is the room where all of the kids spend the most time And as you can see, there are a lot of toys, a lot of books, a lot of art supplies. So this room encapsulates really sort of all of the activities that the kids do. There's no real organization here. It looks very messy and this is also a room where we invite our friends. It's our family room but it is effectively our home. On a personal note, I've been at home for eight years and it's been a joy. However the only time I haven't worked outside of the home was when I had my kids. I want them to see me not just as their mom but somebody who can be a role model for them inside and outside of the home. And quite frankly this room represents sort of the last big project I needed to overhaul. I want to give this room to the kids where they have the space to play, to learn. I'm excited to build again, like building book shelves, I just build anything. Alright you've gotta teach them to build some stuff too! Ok! I mean, when I look at the pictures and the art, it just reminds me of these little lives growing, and I think our experience is actually really relatable. I think that families come to this point in their life where they feel like their house is a little out of control. Clearing out the room, it seemed like a huge burden initially, and I felt like I really wouldn't be able to do this. But as I was doing this, I felt that it was so important to actually take the time to think about this and to actually get rid of stuff and that it's actually doable. The time spent doing it in the long run, it just really transformed the space and they know where everything goes now. It's not just decorating necessarily, it's really about how you solve a problem and every room is really a problem to be solved. It is such a deep breath and exhale to be in this room. It's fantastic! How do you guys feel about the room? I'm totally freaking out!
