Some events have happened and we have to stay in our house for at least 3 more years and if we can up to 5 years (I will tell the full story on why at some point!) But when I was told this is the situation and we are just going to have to deal. I wanted to cry.......ok so maybe I did. Don't get me wrong I love my house I just wish it was bigger. We have taken time to re-decorate and paint rooms and have put a lot of time, energy and money to make this the house something we are proud to call ours and if this was going to be our forever home I will spend a lot more time, energy and money remodeling but at some point you just have to stop! I am very proud of my home and become sad when people put our house down.
Lets face it. It is a two bedroom one bathroom house. The bedrooms are a good size but closets are small. The kitchen has lots of storage but it is very narrow. And the bathroom...... well it is tiny! The bathroom alone wants to make me move. There is no room and there is only one and with me running childcare out of my home I will have 2-3 kids potty training at the same time! (did that just make you want to tear up a little?...oh just me).
I have decided I have two choices I can cry about it or I can get creative, get the wallet and get reorganizing. My first tackle was the bathroom. I have not solved all the problems I face but the first one was the potty training drama. I have to have two potties and one step stool somehow in my already crowded tiny bathroom. The solution I found is GENIOUS! I went to target and found a 1st step potty chair that doubles as a step stool.
Then I bought a small seat for our toilet. I didn't know how it would all work but I have had it for two days and already I feel like my problems are half way solved. I don't feel like crying when thinking of all those kids learning to go to the bathroom(well ok maybe a little, how in the heck do u potty train 2-3 kids at the same time! I guess I will learn!). So far when the kids are here I have one that is potty trained and Savanah is starting to work on it. It works awesome and I didn't realize how much it would help at night too. We have one bathroom so if need be Savanah can use the small potty even though she rather use the big one. It is truly awesome! I don't feel like I am falling all over the place when
pivoting walking around my bathroom.
I still have to work on some things for the bathroom but I feel like I am half way there! The rest of the things I need for that room I am looking on Craig list and looking for sales! To be creative you don't have to break the bank!
I was not paid in anyway for mentioning these products on my blog
