I'm just thinking about the organisation of DD3's room in our new flat and it's always good to have fresh ideas.

My main problem is DD's extraordinary memory and her devoted attachment to things she hasn't played with for months. I can think I've done a subtle removal of outgrown toys, only to be challenged three months later with 'Mummy where is my . . .'

I read another good tip a while ago, which suggested having children's books in top opening storage (unlidded) rather than front opening shelves. They are still accessible all the time, but you reach in to get the books rather than being able to sweep them off! It also makes it easier to put away. Haven't done this yet myself, but I may do.
