		<description><![CDATA[There never seems to be enough room to store all of my kids&#8217; toys.  Finally, I decided I needed to invest in a huge toy box.  I spent some time searching and bought two others before I discovered the Little Tikes Giant Toy Chest. 
This toy box is incredible.  It has more room inside than any other toy box I&#8217;ve ever seen.  The lid comes off completely, which is very convenient.  It comes in blue (pictured) or pink (I bought both). 
The best part?  It&#8217;s only $59.99.

		<description><![CDATA[ What was your house like growing up?  Was every room in the house fair game for kids&#8217; toys, books and puzzles?  Was the living room mascot more likely to be identified as Strawberry Shortcake or G.I. Joe than Hummel or Lenox?
I&#8217;m really surprised anymore at how many times I hear of houses being built or bought specifically with a play room in mind.  An entire room just for the kids to use to play with and store their toys.  In addition to the toys in their rooms and, very often, also spread around the house.

Was every room in the house fair game for kids&#8217; toys, books and puzzles?  Was the living room mascot more likely to be identified as <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/playlibrary/2006/08/10/nostalgia-toy-1-strawberry-shortcake/">Strawberry Shortcake</a> or G.I. Joe than <a href="http://www.mihummel.com/">Hummel</a> or <a href="http://www.lenox.com/cat/index.cfm?fuseaction=subcat&amp;cat=hdc&amp;subcat=vases&amp;flt=bud">Lenox</a>?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really surprised anymore at how many times I hear of houses being built or bought specifically with a play room in mind.  An entire room just for the kids to use to play with and store their toys.  In addition to the toys in their rooms and, very often, also spread around the house.  When we were young (insert geezer voice here), you kept your toys in your room.  There might be a few around the living room, but they were, for the most part, in your room.  The one you shared with your sister.</p>
<p>Anyway, it seems that the issue of the toys encroaching on the adult space in the house is a big one.  So big that people are designing products and such specifically to store toys in the main areas of the house in ways that can&#8217;t be seen when the kids aren&#8217;t playing.  <a href="http://www.canada.com/topics/lifestyle/parenting/story.html?id=5dff7f5f-0857-47e9-8f98-df5ea8cfa2a5">An article at canada.com</a> shares some tips and solutions for this situation.</p>
<p>Sherry of <a href="http://insidemotherhood.com/">Inside Motherhood</a> shares her family&#8217;s solution to <a href="http://www.insidemotherhood.com/2007/08/07/taming-toy-clutter/">kid clutter</a> in the living room.   We went that route for awhile, but still felt a bit overwhelmed with it all.  Now, one of the shelves on the bookcase is for the kids&#8217; books, and the rest of the mess is supposed to stay in their rooms.  If there are too many toys in their rooms, then there&#8217;s probably just too many toys.  Time for a yard sale or Goodwill.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s your family&#8217;s solution to avoid toy clutter?</p>
