In honor of Mother's Day, I have been sharing stories that makes me wanna say, "BOOM! You just got Mommied!" because it is a super empower 
Often we feel like we just got owned by our children in the small battles so we need some encouragement when we don't lose! Sorry this one's late.
Our garage feels like it is constantly being “cleaned out”. No joke, I’m sure my neighbors are laughing every other week as I drag all my junk out onto the drive way to sort through, trash, rearrange, and stuff back inside. One of the areas in our garage that has saved me a few headaches is the “parking lot” for all our riding toys. Even Ellie {16 months} knows where to find things and the general idea of “parking” them when we are done.
Supplies you’ll need:
- cleared floor space next to a wall in the garage
- tape- I used frog tape {brand of painters tape} but masking or duck tape would work
- riding toys
Simple Parking Lot Concept:
- swept, dusted, mopped {if you have to} floor, so the tape will stick- I learned the hard way the 1st time around
- lay out riding toys in a row {I spaced mine smallest near the door to largest further into the garage}
- eye-ball the length you’ll need my stretching it out next to each vehicle
- tear it off
- stick it down
- stand back in awe of yourself 😉
*for light-weight toys that roll on a slightly declining surface*
create a parking block behind the vehicle to keep it from rolling into the garage: I used a thin strip of cardboard cut off a box in the trash but used a flat twig or scrap sliver of wood the first time and taped it to the floor under the tape
My kids LOVE that they have their own space in the garage for their vehicles! It’s very clear for them to see where their riding toys fit and can easily put them away {when I don’t pile things behind their parking spaces :/ }
BOOM! #mommied
I hope you all had a GREAT Mother’s Day! I find that, we as mommies, push ourselves to extremes where we either live fake lives because we are constantly feeling less-than in comparison to other moms or announce our failures as if they’re metals we’ve won without an attempt to always improve. May we all recognize our victories and be encouraged to press on in our struggles.
