I've never participated in this Works For Me Wednesday thing, but if there's one thing I like to share with people, it's my opinion. So, I figured I'd share something that has been working quite well for me: a solution to dealing with MrMan's bathtub toys. For a while, we kept MrMan's toys in his plastic bathtub, even after he'd graduated to bathing in the regular tub. But the plastic tub accumulated water in its little nooks and cranies and it was a bit cumbersome. I've seen those bags that you attach to the bathtub wall, but they never really called to me, partly because I thought about how the mesh will probably stay damp and get funky.
Some months ago, I bought a set of plastic stacking mesh baskets at a children's consignment sale. Much like these. I felt like three was the best height for MrMan's toy storage, since the fourth basket would be above his head and would result in frustration or climbing tumbles, or both. But what to do with the fourth basket? Aha! A bathtub toy solution. We keep his toys in the basket and keep the basket in the tub. Because it has legs, and is actually a little wider than the bottom-most width of the bathtub, there's good air circulation underneath, so everything dries out nicely. And if I feel it's time for a little extra cleaning of them, I just spray them with Clorox Anywhere spray, without worrying about drips.

And I've never heard of WFMW. I'm going to check it out!
