    Instead of an aisle of shelves could you add a counter height bench in the middle? That way you’d have lots of extra storage underneath, could use the surface to package things up, and it would still seem nice and open as nothing would be added at eye level

    • @hopeh0pe
      @hopeh0pe Před 2 lety +3

      or a bunch of those ikea wheelie shelf things. idk what to call it haha

    • @pianofreak91
      @pianofreak91 Před 2 lety +3

      A tall table on wheels- could be roll away shelving but also a work space to pack on

    • @Marian-bj5qg
      @Marian-bj5qg Před 2 lety

      That was exactly my thought! It would look more intentional and less crowded for sure. What an awesome toy store-so impressive!

  • @jgr_lilli_
    @jgr_lilli_ Před 2 lety +131

    You are great candidates for running a toy store because you have lots of kids and have experience with things that kids actually like, and that have amazing play value

  • @renataserapiao7290
    @renataserapiao7290 Před 2 lety +60

    An extra isle in that corner would be nice if it had a table on top of it, so you could wrap and organize all the products and boxes.
    Loved your store! Love your family!

  • @jgr_lilli_
    @jgr_lilli_ Před 2 lety +23

    I second the advice of the other comments and suggest you could build a little "packing island" table in the middle. It would free some shelf space from the packing materials and you could have a space to set out and pack the orders!

  • @lizstewart7113
    @lizstewart7113 Před 2 lety +21

    Such an interesting video, seeing how you run your business. As a former Preschool teacher in the US, I can honestly say that I love all of your products. Ever time you've shown your kids' playroom, I've imagined having these wonderful toys in my former classroom. I too love the Usborne books...they are wonderful! 💖

  • @margohealy575
    @margohealy575 Před 2 lety +22

    You stick the nicest items. I was wondering if the middle could be a large counter top for packing your orders and stocking boxes, tape, files and still addition stock and then that could open up room on your stick shelves. And IKEA drawer for files, take scissors or even smaller stock items. Only a suggestions because what I see you doing is already soooo impressive.

    Congratulations for your successful little business. Running it while simultaneously taking care of 8 - soon 9 - children sounds incredible to me. I'm french, and I noticed that a large part of your products are from french brands (Djeco, Janod) ; I was surprised. (I love these brands too, by the way.)

The kids and work are all integrated. Wish I'd have figured that out when I needed to go to work, and had kids at home. Looking forward to seeing all about Christmas in your home, and the new addition. Be well.

You are very brave raising that many children and run your business 👏 🙌. I would of loved to run a business but with being a single Mom raising just 3 daughters I couldn't make it work with insurance and losing money the first few years possibly. I just love your family. You show us a glimpse of your lives and we can't wait for the next video.

    That way there is more storage, a work bench you wrap orders or extra storage on top, can still move around the room and can still have great energy flow, air and light.

    How do you organize your stockroom, in the sense that, how does the computer know when something is sold out, or a specific color is sold out? Do you input how much of each items/colors you have at the same time as you place the order to restock? Do you restock only when you sell out or before then or does it depend? Do you work directly with the companies to buy in bulk or do you just make super large orders from them (I can’t imagine it’s the latter lol)

    Love your set up; and I love shopping at your store... My little one still loves her broccoli overalls. How do you find running your business out of a rental property? Are there any like stipulations etc. from the local rental authority at all? I am wanting to set up my own online small business for handmade clothes and gifts; but seem to be running into red tape as we are in a rental.

    Hi great collection , kids friendly, different skills oriented!
    Could you please do a video on - “ being that you have a big family, how you manage the stress without affecting the relationship between both parents? I see that you are very calm and quiet while talking , redirecting, commenting to the kids responses, listening equally to all age children..👍👍
