I used to keep my #### so neat and tidy - but with growing kids, I am drowning in "stuff". What do you do with seasonal kids crap? Tools? Seriously considering a shed just for kids crap.

I installed a Proslat set up for tools and stuff. Seasonal stuff I put into dust proof bins, label them and cycle them back and forth between the shed vs permanent storage in the garage once every few months. For loose items, freezer bags, vacuum seal large bags, duffel bags, zippable bags etc. help a ton to reduce size/space and improve collecting the item you need (ie: no loose pieces of lawn games, hats in a bag, gloves in a different bag, tools/bits/parts separated and categories in snack bags to freezer bags/both etc.).
I am planning on installing more vertical storage this summer. I too contemplated a second shed for all of the #### that's accumulating, but I think I might be OK.
Do you WFH? The trunk or inside of the vehicle is also good place to temporarily store things, especially kids toys, bikes etc. and stuff. Yes fuel economy goes down a smidge, but not enough to worry about vs the cost of more storage. Plus sometimes you go to a park and you're like, "Oh! I have the folding chairs/bike/toys etc. we can use because I forgot to clear out of the vehicle before we came!"
Also, throw #### out/sell it and buy more compact options (ie: tools etc.). I'm a pack rat, but this has been pretty key to resolving limited storage space issues.
