I have no idea where to start - every time I clean up, she's right behind me, undoing what I did.
How did you manage having a toddler and keeping your house staged to sell?

Haven't had to do it..... but I think I would have DH watch her while I cleaned the whole house, or at least her room because I could do the rest when she's sleeping. And then I would just follow her around and clean up after her when she plays constantly. I do this when I want to keep the house clean for other things. Also we make clean up a game so she's learning to clean up herself.

Can you make up a special toy box/ project box for her to play with while you work? We recently sold our house, and while LO was only 8 months, we had a ton of baby stuff that we needed to deal with. I kept storage boxes out so that toys could be easily loaded up and put away to reduce visual clutter, and also moved a lot of things that LO had outgrown or didn't play with into a storage area (basement).

We kept him in one area only. He only played in the basement(it's finished and basically where we spend all our time). We still left his toys out, because he lives here. Every other room was toy/DS free(except his bedroom of course)

We minimized how many toys were out. Honestly it was a nice change. We just made sure we were more interactive with him, but it was a lot less stress just picking up 5-7 toys rather than 10-15.
We rented a storage unit and got a TON of stuff out pf our house before listing it, the house felt so much more spacious and looked like there was more storage than there really is.
Selling a home sucks! Good luck!!!!!!
