Both of our children get way too many gifts for their birthdays and Christmases and just other random days. Most of their toys come from their grandparents. We’ve kept almost everything except toys that have fallen apart and baby toys. We have toys in the yard, toys in our storage room outside, toys in their shared bedroom, and toys piled high in their toyroom. Please help we are drowning in toys here!

A couple months ago I went through and got rid of another bag of old toys that the boys don’t use BUT we still have a toy overflow problem! We really need to figure out some kind of organization here. Tips? Ideas? I guess buying a few more storage bins and an extra toy box is in order but I don’t think that will make a major difference.

I thought about only buying small toys and books for xmas gifts but that ain’t happening! Our oldest saw this huge light up race track that he wants and that is all he is talking about and our youngest always talks about slides so one of these or one of the these is possibly being brought by Santa and it will have to stay IN THIS HOUSE for a few months until the warm weather returns! Yikes! So, you see, I do really need help. Where are these things going to fit? What should I do? And, please tell me that your home is full of toys too and that your house is being overtaken by toys like mine?
