Organizing toys on the cheap
I don’t know about you, but the organizational task I dread the most is wrangling my kids’ toys. Over the years they have accumulated a lot of playthings (mostly from grandparents, one particularly doting aunt and birthdays). Occasionally I weed out toys that are no longer age-appropriate, but still they seem to multiply. The result is a jumble of board games, one-piece-missing puzzles, half-done craft projects, headless dolls, a billion Lego pieces, and my personal nemesis—stuffed animals. Needless to say, my periodic meltdowns at the mess in our family room, where most of these toys reside, are now legendary in our household.
In researching ways to control toy chaos, I’ve found dozens of very expensive (and very cute) storage options. But I’m not interested in spending a lot of money on organizers. Instead I’m using a few frugally priced or FREE ways to whip our toys into shape:
* I love this bendy hamper, which holds about 25 of my daughter’s plush toys (scarily, only about half her collection). At $5, it’s a steal. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90182294
* Keeping game pieces and puzzles together is a challenge for my kids, even when there’s a sturdy box involved. So I wash and reuse the plastic insert bags that come in cereal and cracker boxes and use them to corral pieces within the box.

Read The Summer Hideaway with us!
As you might have seen our book club has started up again and is currently reading The Summer Hideaway by Susan Wiggs. (Don’t have a copy yet? You can pick one up at your local Walmart.)
I’m going to be posting my thoughts on the book here for the next three weeks and hope you’ll join the discussion. I’ll also be drawing questions from our discussion guide. It has some great questions that really make you think—not only about the book but this about life.
This question in particular caught my attention so let’s make it our topic to talk about for this week! (See question after the jump!) (more…)

Join our book club!
Welcome to the All You book club!
Our latest selection is The Summer Hideaway by Susan Wiggs. We hope you’ll pick up a copy at Walmart and join our discussion by posting a comment below.
Prologue, Chapters 1-2
What did you think of the first two chapters of The Summer Hideaway? I’m really enjoying it. I’m eager for Ross to come home so he can get back to his life and spend the limited time he has with his grandfather. I would also like to learn more about Claire’s past—the details of the murder she witnessed and why it “was so dangerous she couldn’t even trust the police”? Even in the first few chapters I think The Summer Hideaway’s author Susan Wiggs has done a great job of drawing us in to want to know more about Ross, Claire and George. They’ve each each taken such different paths in life so far, I’m interested to learn how it’ll be for George and Ross to pick up where they left off and how the romance between Claire and Ross is going to unfold! What do you think of the book so far?

Pull dinner from your freezer
Tonight is Freezer Dinner, an occasion for celebration in my house. I celebrate because I don’t have to cook anything, and my family celebrates because they can enjoy my company instead of watching me run around like a crazy woman trying to pull together a healthy, cheap meal (relaxed mommy = relaxed dinner). My frugal self celebrates, too, because Freezer Dinner knocks a chunk off my weekly grocery bill.
So what exactly is Freezer Dinner? I essentially throw open the doors of my freezer and defrost all the leftovers within. Doing so on a regular basis (more…)
