Lego Storage Solution
Mom Hack
If your household has a love/hate relationship with Legos, consider investing in a storage cart with drawers.
Use one for the playroom to keep Legos neatly organized.
For hassle-free playtime, let the kids build on a sheet or blanket; this makes clean-up a breeze.
Plus, designate a spot for displaying their Lego masterpieces, like shelving in their rooms.

“We use reading books as a count down for when Dada comes home. We read a book each night at bed time. So I gather up the amount of books to equal the amount of nights. The last nights book is about coming home.”
