I have toys coming out of my ears. I'm not kidding you, with a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old in residence, I'm lucky if I can make it across four feet of floor without stepping on or tripping on a toy. I try and try to get rid of them, but it's harder done than said … wait, I mean, easier said than done. For starters, my kids act like they are about to lose a dear loved one when I suggest getting rid of something even if they no longer play with it and the other thing is that a lot of places that accept donations of used items, do not accept toys. I have to do something with these toys though and I may have found a way to get them out of my way without making my kids go into mourning.

Utensil holder

Refrigerator magnets
