How I Managed the Chaos in Our Boys’ Rooms from Baby to Tween

If you’ve ever felt like your kids' rooms are a never-ending mess of toys, clothes, and random treasures—they are. And you’re definitely not alone.

In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I managed my boys’ rooms from the newborn stage right up to tweens. From overflowing ball pits and tractors in the lounge room, to gamer desks and drum kits taking over their bedrooms, this episode is a real look at how our spaces changed as they grew.

I’m sharing what worked, what didn’t, and all the little lessons I’ve learned in between. Whether you’re setting up a nursery, navigating toddler toy explosions, or dealing with the chaos of tech and sports gear, I hope this gives you some ideas—and reassurance—that there’s no perfect system, just what works for your family.

Because whether you’ve got baby socks or basketball shoes lying around, every stage of motherhood brings its own version of mess—and a whole lot of memories.

✨ Key Points Covered

  • Why I stopped buying baby gear until I actually needed it
  • The simple nursery setup that saved us space in a small house
  • Real talk about toddler toy chaos (and how we stored ALL the tractors)
  • Creative storage ideas like “parking lots” for trucks and toy rotation
  • The shift to bunk beds and book series during the school years
  • Why sorting LEGO by colour was a huge waste of time (yes, I did it!)
  • My system for keeping school uniforms under control
  • Clear containers, sports bags, and other tween room hacks
  • Managing gaming gear, musical instruments, and screen time
  • The weekly room check-ins that keep us all sane
