Have you ever wished you had a treasure trove of great ideas for those days when motherhood feels draining and mundane?
Ever longed for just one tried and true tip that has actually been used successfully by REAL MOMS with REAL KIDS?
Me, too!
That's why I've created Tuesday's Tips- a weekly post designed to reduce frustration and multiply inspiration in the wacky and wearisome trenches of
motherhood.
Of course, a good idea is meant to be shared. So don't keep those jewels for yourself!
If you discover something that makes motherhood a little easier, a little more exciting, or a bit more meaningful, please let me know. I'd love to feature your idea on an upcoming Tuesday. Just leave a comment after this post or email me at rbruxvoort@iowatelecom.net.
When There's Not Enough Room For All That Fridge Art

Today's tip comes from my friend, Wendy. Wendy is a kindergarten teacher and mom of two busy kids. If you're wrapping up the school year and trying to figure out what to do with all those amazing paper projects that came home in the kids' backpacks this year, take a peek at Wendy's great idea...
Each of my kids have a small tub with their name on it. When they get home from school, church, etc. we look at all the projects and papers they brought home and then everything goes in the tub.
Once a quarter, or whenever they want to look through it, we toss the things we don't want, and they love looking through the rest. It's always like a little walk down memory lane.
It has a place immediately when they get home; they feel like we are keeping everything that is important; and most importantly, it isn't all over the kitchen and the floor.
We've learned that it's much easier to toss some things later instead of in the moment of "Look what I made today, Mom!"
The best of the best goes on the fridge...of course.
Any other great ideas? What do you do with all of your children's masterpieces?
