My 5 year old is into a lot of Legos, dolls, and My Little Pony so her toy collection is big but made of actually small items. My one year old has giant toys, train tracks and the like, plus ride on toys. I love the little age but at the same time they have so many big toys. We end up keeping the majority in our TV room where we spend the most time but individual toys (especially for my 5 year old) are in her room. Barbies, board games, her stuffed animals and anything she doesn’t want her brother messing up. One big thing for us is the art supplies. I’m an art teacher, I have a ton of supplies from art school, and my daughter loves art. Her supplies may be more than mine now, so we’ve made my office into an arts and crafts room. It works wonders! But, unfortunately, is never clean due to all of the projects!

That’s an awesome tip, Ashley! I totally agree with letting them have some control. It teaches them so much! I think that’s great!

Danielle – I am with you. When we started this process two years ago, our kids were younger and we’d been in survival mode all this time. So I did cry. A lot. I was convicted and it was so overwhelming. It gets better, as time goes on… just know you are not alone, and completely normal, in shedding the tears. ;}

You’re awesome, Eva! I know that takes a lot of work! I tend to get lazy and let it pile up. I am with ya, girl!
