🛏️ Tidy Tidbits: Triple Bunks, Tiny Room, Big Feelings

Episode Summary: When a commenter suggested that our shared kids' room only works because we have three girls, it sparked today’s episode. Because here’s the truth: small-space living can work—with boys, girls, or any mix in between. But it takes intention, systems, and a little mindset magic.

In this five-minute episode, I’m sharing:

* The bold decision we made to give our kids the biggest room in the apartment

* Why global norms around shared rooms look very different from the American ideal

* How organizational zoning help manage the chaos

* Our approach to boundaries, bedtime, and shared spaces that actually function
