IKEA: Organising Toy Storage

IKEA's Democratic Design

This upcoming year, IKEA is all about "Democratic Design" - a philosophy that everyone should be able to own high quality and cutting edge and functional designs at affordable prices. If you look closer at its product, I'm sure it's not hard to identify which dimension(s) have been taken into serious consideration.

For this month, I'm taking up the challenge to discover and highlight the hidden dimension(s) over at Emma's IKEA toys corner! Some products have all 5 dimensions while the others have 2-3 dimensions. In this post, I will highlight just 1 dimension (though it has likely more than 1) for each product that we used!

IKEA: 5 simple ways to reduce food wastage at home

I never consider myself to be a wasteful person until I started to cook for Emma 2 years ago.

It all began with purees where I steamed, blended and froze the food item. After 3 weeks, I threw few cubes away as I think they aren't fresh enough and made new ones. Emma quickly moved on to porridge and later on soups and dishes. It's not longer a simple affair. Since I only cook for Emma and love variety, it was sometimes hard for me to use up all the ingredients before they turn bad. Once a while, I received criticism from Hubby about food wastage and I usually just brushed him off. I was really focused on providing a healthy and balanced meal for Emma as much as I could.

But, he was so right! For every item wasted, I didn't just waste the dollars and wastes. It actually leads to more waste - waste of the farmers' effort, extra carbon footprints and increase waste. From today, I hope to embrace my weakness, learn to be less wasteful and contribute towards the sustainability of the world.

 

Here's some ways to reduce food wastage and I hope to turn them into habits as a new mummy cook.

IKEA: Master bedroom Makeover - Grey, White & Minimalist

Sponsored

Once a upon a time, we had a pretty decent sleeping chamber. Everything was sparkling white, clean, plain classy and very much in order when we first moved in 5 years ago.

Before

Today, our collections of stuff, mainly clothes and linens, grew while my dressing table shrank to a small makeup corner.

Before we realised, we were out of storage and clutter started creeping in slowly. Even after some packing, the drawers top still looked quite a mess. On some terrible days, I even had trouble finding a space to place new shopping buys at my side's drawer's top.

After

Following Emma's room revamp, I was determined to refurnish our masterbed room to be more pleasant and restful. We stayed true to our minimalist style and kept the clean lines & functionality that we always love.
