The other day we had our first snow day of the season! It was the first time my daughter got to really play in the snow and it was one of those perfect days with my kids I will forever treasure. We had a blast!
After fun in the snow, the last thing you want to do is have the big cleanup from coming in and tracking the snow everywhere, having damp snow pants gathering on the floor and dripping coats. So, here are a couple of tips I could not do without when it comes to snow day clean up.
I love this boot 'rest' that I got at Menards last year for about $8. I keep it by the door so that as soon as we come inside we take our boots off and put them on the 'boot rest'. I always add a rag towel to the bottom of the rest to help absorb the extra melting snow so that I don't have the boots sitting in a puddle of water by the end of the day.
I've seen some people do similar things with putting a cookie cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet pan and it seems to work just as well.
GLOVES, HATS, ETC!
For all of the miscellaneous gloves, hats, scarves, neck warmers, etc, here is my go to trick for drying them and keeping all the melting snow off of my floor.
Luckily, I have been blessed with a nice wash sink in my laundry room and have installed shelving above it so this works out great.
I used to hang the gloves from the pants hangers and then hang them on my washroom doorknobs with a hand towel on the floor under them to catch the melting snow. But the kids pant hangers is the genius trick that works wonders!
Hope you can use these tips to enjoy your snow days and not dread the clean up.
Happy snow day everyone!
