From the moment you step through my front door, you understand that kids outnumber the adults in my property. For the previous four years, toys and playthings have overrun almost every area of the house. There are water toys in my shower.
This is actually the standard for many households as parents have accepted that it’s just the way it is. As for me, I’ve had enough. The easiest solution to my problem is to move in the dog’s home, but he doesn’t have the essential closet space.
Instead of taking the easy way out I’m grabbing the bull by the horns and carrying my own advice. I’m teaching my kids the best way to subdue their clutter. Can not you join me?

Under the bench. You may be amazed to learn that your kitchen offers a storage solution for kids’ stuff, too. If you’re planning for banquette seating, make certain to include doors beneath the cushion to store supplies. This is an especially wise solution for crafty kiddos who normally operate in the kitchen table.
