Stuffed animals are cute, but not when they're all over the floor.

Something that no one really told me about before I jumped into this mothering thing is just how much stuff the kids would have. Sure, I was prepared for diapers and all that, but someone could have warned me about the stuffed toys! Add three kids and a gooey mom-heart for all things cute and cuddly, and you have an overwhelming amount of stuffed toys in the house. It becomes a where-can-I-put-them game that never ends, and they just clutter the floor and collect dust. But there are some pretty nifty people out there who have designed and re-purposed storage solutions for just this issue! Check out these 5 ways to store your child's stuffed animals.
