If you have an entertainment center with drawers or cabinets below the television, see if you can eliminate some (or all) of what’s under there and store some toys. This way the toys will have a place and won’t clutter up the living space.
There have been many times that I’ve entered my kids rooms and found a huge mess of toys all over the floor. It’s taken literally hours to sort through everything and get it cleaned up. A lot of times this happens when we have company over and all of the toys are just too […]
I quit my job in June of 2005 to stay home with our children. I worked full-time during two pregnancies and didn’t quit until our second child was almost 6 months old. During those years, I got really good at coming up with a routine for our family. I learned how […]

A great way to help reduce the clutter and mess in your child’s room or play room is to rotate their toys. We have all of the toys separated into bins and only allow a few out within reach at a time. We put the rest up on a tall shelf or in […]
Over the years we have collected lots of toys, movies, and coloring books related to Christmas. After the holidays I pack them all away in a box instead of keeping them mixed in with our things. Then the day after Thanksgiving I pull out the Christmas box and the kids are always excited […]
My husband and I have been married for 6 1/2 years, and in that time we have moved a total of 10 times. We did, however, manage to stay in one home for 3 years. So, that tells you how many other times we were someplace for not so long! Between college […]
