When kids come home they just "dump" and run!

HaPpY wet Wednedsay Everyone!

Hope you guys are enjoying the warmer temps!

The warmer temps are sure nice, 

but 

the mud and water that gets tracked in can sure drive someone crazy.

What tips have you guys been using to keep your house "puddle proof"?

This is our back entry and the dumping grounds for everything!

I mean everything...

From American girl to Karate uniforms.

When kids come home they just dump and run.

 I'm working on a few things to prevent the dirt and water from entering the whole house!

#1. Purchasing a nice floor mat by the door!

that way dirt and mud don't land right on your floors

#2. Baskets for shoes. 

Buy a few affordable baskets~I usually try inexpensive ones from TJ MAX

BUT

~I have been known to find a few at Goodwill~

Then kids can just pull out the basket and drop shoes in.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

#3. One or two daily swipes :) 

I have been trying to sweep once or twice a day to prevent that icky sand from entering the home.

#4. Undress in the garage before entering

This is for those extreme cases when they have puddle jumped all day and are wet head to toe

I just get a kick out of my little girl~puddle boots backwards! Why not?

On a side note!

Have you jumped in puddles lately?

If not, you must take one hour and just go slam around in puddles!

The relief you get from dancing in the rain & slamming your feet in puddles is priceless!

 

On one more side note...
