Your kids thriving.

You staying sane

You had this idea about motherhood and then you had kids.

You used to have a feeling of control and now your feelings are more like "aaah why is my house always a mess" and feeling overwhelmed and probably a little stressed.

Or perhaps you too are getting to a breaking point with the toy clutter, or lack of your child's engagement with the toys for more than like five seconds?

Hey Mama, I see you because I was you!

Yes, I had that "Ah-ha" moment:

Instead of our place looking like this:

It honestly got out of control when I had my second child and we were living in a loft (yes zero storage) and the explosion of toys happened.

For reals, this is what our place looked like when I realized that:

I caught myself *stopping* myself from taking a picture of my cute kiddos as there was so much crap in the background and I was embarrassed.
We couldn't have people over, even for playdates without having to seriously clean for several hours.

It was the first of two EUREKA or "Ah-Ha" moments for me.

The 2nd EUREKA or "Ah-Ha" moment came next.

I got so fed up one night and put ALL the toys and everything away. Cleared the room.

And then we came home with a package case of paper towels.

Guess what happened next?

You got it. My boys, who were about 3 and a half and 1 year old, proceeded to play with just that package of paper towels for about an hour and a half. First they played with the case intact, whacking it and putting it horizontal, then vertical. Then, the real magic happened when we opened it up to free the rolls, which were stacked into towers, laid down as train cars, etc. etc.

It drove home a few points about kids:

Check out this scary statistic:

Although U.S. consumers bear only

3% of the world’s children,

we buy 40% of the world’s Toys

Parenting experts weigh in on the benefit of rotating toys:

“An avalanche of toys invites emotional disconnect and a sense of overwhelm.”

- Dr. Kim John Payne

So I really got on-board with this idea of Toy Rotation.

But there was a problem...

I COULDN'T FIND A MANUAL, SO I CREATED IT

Hey I'm Sarah, Nest Happy :)

Once I made the decision to Tame the Toys in my house, I started researching *exactly* how to do it. I scoured the interwebs and didn't really find anything that suited me, and looking at it through an engineering-minded lens, I knew that there was a true science behind toys and how I could provide an environment for true learning. An environment where my kids could:

Grow their inventive and imaginary play
Play in harmony as siblings
Exercise more parts of their brains when exploring different types of toys
Engage deeper and longer in play
Increase their independent play time (yes - I'm talking about uninterrupted showers without screen-time!)
Avoid overstimulation
Have FUN!

I couldn't find something out there, and as I shifted careers and became a professional organizer, I created this system because my clients demanded it. I demanded it too!

Tame The Toys(TM) was created with signature Nest Happy categories at its core, with these product requirements:

(can you see me geeking out a little bit over here)

Create a functional system that not only makes cleanup time easier for parents and kids, but shows you exactly how to do it, step-by-step, like a manual.
Design keeping precious resources for parents (limited time and energy) at the forefront which meant making a system that was easy to set up and easy to maintain.
Really speak to those who may have trouble letting stuff go. I come from a family of hoarders (Hi mom and dad! I love you!) and know that sometimes your judgement is clouded when you are not focused on the end goal or when you are not asking yourself the right questions.
Make it simple enough so that everyone (i.e. your spouse and kids) can get on board and see the benefits of "new toy day" and the idea of rotating.
Include flexibility so that the system can evolve as kids grow and inevitably acquire new toys.
Make it extremely detailed and easy with checklists, cheat sheets, and provide inspiration and motivation with a community of others doing the same thing.

What Other Mom's are Saying:

Sarah helped implement her toy system in our playroom. It's a very well thought out system. My daughter is playing with and enjoying toys she had forgotten she had and I have fewer items to help with clean up! My husband was hesitant when I first told him my plan but he would now tell you what a transformation has taken place, and continues to, since working with Sarah.

Shannon

Mom to 5 year old girl, with baby brother on-the-way on Tame The Toys

I am really happy with Sarah’s toy system! Not only is our house less cluttered, but my daughter is playing more intently with the toys that are out. She has been rediscovering and enjoying toys that had been lost in the piles before. It's great!

Brynna

Mom to 3.5 year old girl on Tame The Toys

Our family needed to create more time and space to play. The Tame the Toys system of toy rotation, fit our needs exactly. I knew I wouldn't be able to implement a rotation system without some guidance, and videos and weekly updates kept me motivated to finish the setup. I feel a real positive change in our home, and in the way my kids are engrossed in play longer. They anticipate "new toy day," the day we bring out another set, with such joy!

Shelley

Mom of two (5 and 2 yo) on Tame The Toys
