Does Your House Look Like A ToysRUs Mosh Pit?
If the title of this article caught your attention, its likely that you have stubbed a toe on a Lego or tripped over a wayward doll one too many times. It is the bane of any parents existence. Once kids enter the equation, white couches, glass coffee tables, and soothing clutter-free rooms get swapped for the loud primary colors of Fisher-Price and the inevitable tsunami of toys.

But dont despair, even if your house looks like a Toys RUs mosh pit, were here with a cheat sheet for getting your kids to meet you halfway.

It was just part of my routine, like, getting gas for my car. I admit, the reason I go, is for that incredible feeling afterward.
