Our guest post today comes from Marcia Hall with Strong Roots Family Coaching. Her experience created these tips to keep your sanity. 
I am a mom of 2 children (2 and 5) and care for another 1 year old in my home several days a week. We recently spoiled our children with their birthdays and before that, Christmas. By we I mean my family and friends. OK my husband and I did too. I thought we had too many toys before the holidays and now the amount we have accumulated is simply out of control. I regularly go though them and get rid of toys that the kids don’t really play with or are broken. When I look at what is left, I remember buying it for them and just knowing they would love it. Or watching them open the toys as a gift from someone else and I simply don’t want to give it away any more than my kids do. I know eventually we will be free of all these toys with a billions of pieces or sounds that could drive even the sanest person to run screaming from the house. I know some day I will be able to walk though my living room with out feeling like I am walking though a landmine. When that day comes I am told I will miss all the toys but for today, I have resolved that it is where we are in life.
