DIY Closet Door Hat Rack

TLDR: I made this... 



 Ok so my husband has a million hats and I do mean a million. I have given up on trying to get him to scale back. Whenever I seem to get him to part with one, ten more show up. So I have struggled with that storage. For a while these over the door option, like below, seemed like the best solution.




 But they only hold 18 hats and it's just not enough. This is a picture of his closet. I found these racks and really like the idea of them. 

 But the rack was only 15". The hooks were open S and I could see hats falling. I thought for sure we could do better.

 What I used was: 
 Boot clips - https://amzn.to/3BihJvF 
 Curtain rod with 2inch clearance - https://amzn.to/3RrOHzm

 

 I got the 30 pack of the hooks and it was enough to make two racks. I followed the instructions for hanging the curtain rod. If you have hallow doors like the one I have you will need to use the provided anchors. The result: Pretty happy with how it turned out. I can squeeze almost all the hats that used to fit on one door now in one rack. You can see all the empty door space now. I plan to add another one or two to our hallway closet and do the same in my husband's closet. I also plan to use these for winter hats and gloves. Stay tuned for an update.

Must have beach gear

Image
Going to the beach with kids is can be a lot of work. Here is a list of my favorite gear to make it easier. Stroller:  A good jogging stroller is a must have. The beaches are full of Bob strollers but you don't have to break the bank. We love our baby trend expedition jogger. It's a fraction of the price and works just as well. We have had ours for 7 years and still use it for our 2 year old. Even when our son outgrew the need for the stroller we still found it easier to lug our gear in than the wonder wheeler. We load it up. Towels/cooler in the under carriage. Chairs on the handles. Beach toys clipped to the side.    The front wheel locks which helps once you get on the sand. As soon as you hit soft sand flip the stroller around and wheel it backwards on the two back wheels.   https://amzn.to/3RFZaGL Put that stroller to use... Grab some large carabiner clips! I like to clip all the beach toys so the sand and water can drop as we ride. I also hav...

Amazon Toy Catalogue 2022

 Ok it's out.... the Amazon holiday toy catalogue! Its the moment my kids get so excited for and I get anxious about.  If you don't order right away, you may miss out on the item quickly selling out or skyrocketing in price.  Hurry up and order soon.  I was surprised to find many items actually on sale. My son wanted this crazy expensive Lego treehouse .  It is over $250 on the Lego site but actually 30% off on Amazon.
