With three kiddos in the house the toys have been seriously overflowing. So when the man and the preschooler went away for the weekend, I took the chance to pounce on all the debris. I was very tempted to chuck lots of toys while the preschooler wasn't looking (very, very tempted!) but instead I carefully rearranged what we have with the aid of a basket, a trunk and two Cooper Mini Tubs. One of the challenges we have is that the kiddos' rooms are upstairs and the living room is downstairs. You can see where I'm going here. The preschooler is the guiltiest party as the teen is happy to keep most of his stuff in his room and the lady is too small to do much damage. But the preschooler! He seriously leaves a trail in his wake. Out of his room, down the stairs and all. over. the living area. And he never, ever wants to pick it back up again. 'It's toooo hea-veee,' 'I can't dooo it!' with lots of flopping around helplessly to demonstrate.
But when the boys came home I showed them the neat house and informed them that we have a fabulous new system! All toys can be brought downstairs in the Cooper Tubs and at the end of the day all toys must be brought back upstairs in the Cooper Tubs.
They're small enough for the preschooler to haul up and down the stairs and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to gather up his stuff because it's too awkward; all items fit neatly into the tubs and he just has to hold the sturdy handles.
I am happy to report that the new system is up and running and totally working. Hoorah! AND we have a set of mini Copper Tubs worth $39.95 AUD to give away. Hoorah! Hoorah!

I would LOVE the Olive Green and Navy tubs. I'm mom to two girls and am having a baby boy! I need more boy colored things! Plus, I'm a storage nut and clean freak, so these are right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteThose tubs are so cool! And wouldn't we love the pink and the purple here.. With three little ladies - with exactly the same issue as you - living room downstairs and bedrooms upstairs..
ReplyDeleteDo you have any idea how much stuff a 1-year old, a 3-year old AND a 5-year old are actually able to haul down the stairs? Every day!!!This'd come in handy as it'd hopefully limit the baggage!
I love those tubs--and that they can hang off a hook like that. Super space saver. Considering I'm adopting and won't know the gender until baby arrives, I'd go for olive green and blue - they are definitely more "gender neutral" colors. :D
ReplyDeleteWould love to win the pink and purple as I have three girls and too many toys......
