The Organization of Kids' Toys

The Organization of Kids' Toys: "If there are children in your household, then a birthday is sure to mean lots of toys. If you're like most families, you have spent the weeks prior to the big day dashing about town, running from one store to the next, looking for the perfect toys. Do you know what kids toys to buy? How much should you spend on them? And what about the toys that your children already have?
Shopping for kids toys should be done with care. Take the time to look through sale ads, clip coupons, check out stores each week, and even shop online to find the best deals on the must-haves for each year.
We have a rule in our household, and the rule is that we do a miniature 'spring cleaning' in the weeks leading up to one child's birthday. The common areas and bathrooms are easy enough; it's the kids' bedrooms that give us trouble. With so many kids toys strewn about, it's hard to know where to start. But the easiest thing to do is grab two trash bags. One bag will hold broken and old toys that are ready to be discarded, and the other bag will collect those kids toys that can be donated to charities and shelters."
