Like many of you, my music collection went digital probably ten years ago. So why, oh why, am I juggling CDs and DVDs again all day long? Ah, kids. First, I'd like to say we were fortunate to inherit a lot of children's music and movies from family - stuff I never knew existed and the kids love. So, that's the upside. But then there is the sheer logistics of managing all those discs, a problem that frankly I thought I'd left back in 1999. Going to the bother of digitizing music the kids are enjoying for only a short time in different rooms of the house and in the car doesn't make a lot of sense for me. And then there is the pile of TV shows and movies to contend with...
Tinkerbell's Lost Treasure, Tinkerbell's Great Escape, etc. Finally, I'd had it with all the CD cases and DVD boxes, which never quite matched the disc inside anyway and were scattering around the house. I pulled out all the discs and loaded them in three storage albums. Painfully old fashioned solution, I know, but I'd forgotten these things existed. All the music is now in one case. The two year old has her own case of age-appropriate videos and my four year old has the same. That's it. Takes up barely any space and easy to grab on the go. All the clutter of the original boxes is gone - stored away in the garage for the blessed day when I get to re-gift our collection to someone else. I hope they like fairies.
