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.

• The weekly room check-ins that keep us all sane
