oh my goodness my daughter dropped off the little ones again this morning and i swear they brought half their toy collection with them. it's everywhere, under the sofa, in the kitchen, i found a tiny lego brick in my coffee cup. she said they'd be back by five, it's already three thirty and i'm just so tired from running after them. i went to target yesterday and bought a big bin but they just ended up taking the toys out again. i don't know what to do with all this stuff. do you all have any good ideas for toy storage that actually works with little kids?

@VinefIN Oh gosh, I know the feeling! My son's kids leave toys in the weirdest places. Yesterday I found a little car in the butter dish. So frustrating!

I hear you @VinefIN. It’s a constant battle. I try to designate a toy bin, but it never lasts long. Today I tripped over a stuffed animal on the stairs.

Totally get it @VinefIN. It feels like a never-ending clean-up. My daughter's kids were here last weekend and I'm still finding LEGOs. My cat almost swallowed one.

Ugh, the toy invasion is real! @VinefIN, my house is the same way when my grandkids visit. I found a plastic dinosaur in my shoe this morning.

@VinefIN Oh my gosh, a dinosaur in your shoe! That's wild. I’m still finding tiny cars from my grandson’s last visit, and I swear one of them is still in my purse.

@VinefIN A toy bin is a good idea, but it’s like they have a mission to spread them everywhere. I found a tiny princess wand stuck in the toaster yesterday.

@VinefIN Butter dish! That’s hilarious and awful. My granddaughter left a doll shoe in my coffee mug, and I almost drank it.

@VinefIN I feel you! LEGOs are the worst. I stepped on one last night in the dark and nearly yelped loud enough to wake the neighbors.

@VinefIN Stuffed animal on the stairs is a classic. Mine like to leave them in the shower. It’s always a surprise when you turn on the water.
