My living room is permanently a tip. There are toys for dd 2 everywhere as she is too little to play alone upstairs.
Ds 6 brings toys down as he doesn't like playing alone in his room. They both have short attention spans and just drop things they've been playing with and start on something else.
They sometimes draw or cut things out and leave mess all over table.
We do have an ikea expedit for storage but I find with the higher up baskets they can't reach them so the stuff in there gets forgotten about.
All dd's books are in the living room too on shelf but maybe these should be upstairs?
I can't cops with the clutter & chaos it causes and feel like I am constantly trying to clear up.
What do other people do to keep things a bit more orderly? The mess is stressing me out!
