Asalamalaikum Sisters :D
As Muslims we love our families Alhamdulilah. The bond that Islam gives family relationships can be compared to no other type of institution. One of the perks of loving our family and being loved by our families is that we are always invited to sleepovers or "stay (for a very long time) overs" by mums, grandmums, aunties and sometimes lovely friends too.
For me this is great since I get to go and live in Sydney regularly. One of the problems I have found with three kids is storage space can be hard to set up. We all know the mantra for a perfectly organised home and life : "A place for everything and everything in its place". Without places to put things in, holidays can be pretty hectic for yourself and for your kind host too. Its already hard to keep your head in one place with all the hugging, catching up, "debating" (read: lots of dinner table arguing about hundreds of "differences of opinions" on Islam), add to this lost socks and bibs - it can end up really messy.
Enter wonderful solution: The collapsible cube <3
I bought a 2 pack of large cubes today: Here is a pic of one set up and one ready for setting up :)
I love this handy storage solution. You can pack in the boot and once your at your host's house/hotel room/islamic centre....just pop it up, store and relax. When your're done either it can be used for organising things in the car for the way home or fold it down and it's ready too wait until another great muslim get together happens.
Just think of all the things that don't have to sit difficultly in the suitcases and handbags. Clothes, toys, books, prayer mats, blankets, socks, bibs, nappies, the list goes on. You can even buy smaller versions in matching colours to further organise within the cube.
The white removable card gives the box stability and so that it can be stacked
It's a bit wobbly and doesn't compensate for a real wardrobe but with all it's advantages it will be forgiven :) These boxes can be bought at most big retailers. I bought these for under $10.
Inshallah I hope this helped some of you struggling with keeping your holiday room organised. Please share your own tips for easier Muslim Holidaying. Jazak Allah Khair.
