Nooks , Hooks and Hammocks

Things I know and or maybe 'I wish I knew then what I know now’

 1.I know my wishful thinking about lazing in The hammock is butt a dream. It's been too windy and cool the last few days despite the filtered sunshine. Really it is you , FB and twitter an excuse.

2.


 

so I've also been de-cluttering and organising - of course I need hooks

 


They are just NOT where I want them yet !

3. The SKUBB clothes boxes
– ( with a nifty handle on the side so it's easy to pull out from the shelf) -

fit my
Expedit bookcases PERFECTLY -though hubby is concerned about the white and grubby little boy hands. ( have you entered $150 IKEA giveaway closes 30/4 win the Skubb's and more). 
MORE ! he roared !!
 

4. The toys won't stay this tidy more than 12hrs - however I'm masterminding a plan to toss them out if not ! {By hook, nook or by crook ~ meaning ~ By whatever means necessary}

5. The ANTONIUS Frame


 is perfect for storing Lego and bulky Duplo in large bottom draw. Yes, it even fits the baseboards which are forever in the way!

I'd like a second Antonius because they stack and we have years of  stepping on collecting Lego ahead of us. (ps  The Lego Games prize has been doubled to 4 games per winner each valued over $126 ). I want the Antonius for my laundry too - because they hide a lot of baggage stuff neatly


5. Inspired by Eden's journey to Africa - {which I would never be brave enough to contemplate} - I am running the tortuous 14km City to Surf with Team World Vision to raise funds for World Vision to help change lives. My goal is $1000 - sponsor me here and I'll get a t -shirt to run in !


If I ever needed motivation to run ...I don't anymore.

You lost me at hammock. I went off on a dreamy tangent, thinking about having one. We're about to go away for a week, to a country farmhouse with rolling hills and a river and no sounds of civilisation. I wonder if they have a hammock. I hope so, because I'm all inspired now.

sounds a lovely way to spend a holiday Melissa - i hope they do too.
Ditto what Melissa said! All you need is a good book, a sun hat and I'd be off!
Love your toy organisation...I soooo need help in that area! I agree with your hubby...wonder if those boxes are washable?

Lisa, I am going to scotchguard them anyway i think, they are material so i could wash them i think.
I bought one Expedit book case years ago , then another when we separated the twins - clear tub boxes we already had fitted , and I added the Ikea ones. Easiest toy organisation ever and I see them everywhere in bloggers pics Lol and all over Pinterest.
My hammock is resting peacefully at the bottom of my blanket box. I can't wait for the day I have a decent verandah or some trees to hang it from. I do love the IKEA organisation. I badly need to replace the IKEA units I have with ones more suitable for kids. Off I go to enter the comp!

Thanks for linking up this week!

Good luck ! I love the Ikea systems truly - I bought a 4 hole one for my entry in my hopefully soon be finish renovated mobile cottage /shack.
Mmm yes, a hammock would be lovely. Always wanted one but no where to put it haha.
Was just in Ikea yesterday and loved seeing all the new summer designs out! Big plus is that my girl is now tall enough to enter Smalland playground :)

Absolutely the best kind of day when you can leave them happily at Smalland Ai. What did you buy ?
Hammocks actually freak me out a little. One bad experience trying to get in one has scarred me for life I think, lol! Although I do love the idea of them.

I do like that Antonius rack! Would be super handy for the kids' stationery and craft stuff. Wished I had a hammock!!

We haven't taken out our hammock from the basement yet, but you reminded me for it. I love spending my afternoons lounging in the hammock. I have a task for my hubby this weekend :)
Ooh I love that hammock! It's so big. Good on you for organising. I always feels good when its done. Thanks for linking up with Flash Blog Friday. Bree
