I’m so glad I found your Substack! I’m in a 900 sq ft house with husband, toddler, and 10-month-old, so this really resonated. I love the idea of a critter nook and might have to try that kind of creative problem solving when we put our kids in the same room. And love the list of shopping questions in your TikTok video!

Yay, thanks for reading! And YES small space living with littles requires lots of creativity and a good mindset :) (and vertical storage! cannot get enough vertical storage!)

Yes, I have a rule that all my furniture needs to have drawers or cabinets in it, and all storage units need to be as tall as possible! It does make it easier to narrow down options when looking for a new item at least. 😅

You’re a braver woman than I taking on a renovation with a toddler and a baby. My sense of control could never! 😂
