Three little things
When you’re a frazzled mom, even the littlest things can help make your day a bit easier.
So I’ve been keeping track of my own personal annoyances lately, and figuring out solutions (usually with the help of the Dollar Store or a cheap item from Walmart).
Here are three recent “two-second projects” that have greatly helped my sanity:
 |
| 1. Adding a hook to the bathroom wall for easy potty seat storage. This seat was always leaned against the wall, and it drove me nuts. I never even thought of putting up a hook until I saw my lovely friend L had done it in her bathroom. GENIUS! |
 |
| 2. Buying a hanging storage caddy for C’s stuffed animals. Until I bought this, C had a ton of stuffed animals (all gifts) at one end of her crib. I knew it wasn’t safe to have them there, but she doesn’t roll over yet, so I figured it was OK until then (since they were at the opposite end of the crib). But they looked messy. I actually wanted to turf them all, but didn’t (see above, RE: gifts no one wants to receive). Then I realized that D has a similar solution in HIS closet, so I bought C a pink one at Giant Tiger for about $5. Now they’re safely out of sight until she’s old enough to play with them. |

| 3. Buying a Dollar Store broom exclusively for the top-floor bathroom. I’ve reached the stage of post-partum awesomeness that causes your hair to fall out in clumps. This meant the floor of my top-floor bathroom (which is off the master bedroom, but also accessed via the hall) was constantly covered in looooong dark brown hairs. Ew. I never remembered to bring the main broom upstairs to sweep, so I just kept getting grossed out every time I was in the bathroom. Solution? A Dollar Store broom and dustpan, which I stash in the linen closet upstairs. No excuses now for not sweeping this bathroom, is there? |
What easy solutions do you implement in your house to make it less chaotic?

I can't take credit for the potty hook because it came with the potty seat that we bought, but it does work really well!
