I was one of THOSE Moms... back before I had kids. You know the kind, the kind that says "I will never let my kids have....". Yeah, that kind. I don't think I did it with a lot of things but I DO remember saying it about stuffed animals.
It went something like this "I won't ever let my kids have a bunch of stuffed animals. They're just pointless really and they harbor germs. YUCK!"
Ummmmm....
yeah...
Ok.
Then I had kids.
and they got older.
and they LOVE stuffed animals.
AND...
they actually PLAY WITH THEM!
:0)
So, in my dismay of WAAAY too many stuffed animals, I made my kiddos get rid of a bunch. Still left us with a WHOLE BUNCH.
We needed a way to organize them, store them, SOMETHING!
So, we went this route.
It's an over the door shoe organizer! WOOHOO! Not too expensive, easy to find at my local store, and super easy to put up. I DID have to use some fishing string to attach the organizer to the hooks and give it more length. My kids wouldn't have been able to reach if I didn't extend it lower somehow. :0)
it's not perfect...we have some animals that are too bigbut most fit
and I am lovin' it!
It doesn't take up any needed space,
it contains the animals,
it keeps them off the floor and from all over my house
(I think somehow stuffed animals reproduce...truly!)
:0)
That's what works for me today!

I agree stuffed animals reproduce somehow.
Cute idea, Sis.
Oh, I remember you saying that.
And yes, I believe they reproduce. They take the "be fruitful and multiply" seriously.
