As the boys have grown and I have tried to give them the opportunity to be more
independent.
Independent = not screaming for me every moment of every day.
One of the things that is EXTREMELY helpful in this independence endeavor is the stool.
Because I believe that there is no excuse for ugly ANYTHING, I look at the stool as a work of functioning art. ย I walked around the house tonight taking pictures of the stools strewn around my house
(most of them are located in bathrooms) just for fun…

I have collected them over the years and find that they boys pick them up and take them where they need them.
It is a form of stool migration.
Which brings me to the point that if you have kids, you can’t have too many stools.
Today I am giving away A STEP STOOL FOR KIDS from
Step Stool Supply.
A random comment will be selected to win
their choice of a stool from the STEP STOOL SUPPLY Kids Step Stool page with free shipping.
You get a super cute stool to match your decor
and less screaming for mommy around the house.
I am simply here to help.
Here is my favorite:

My daughter tells me “Crazy mama”

My 5 year old daughter shrieked at me “I’m SO tired of listening to YOU!”

But my kids are bigguns now, so no need for me to take a giveway slot.
Step stools around here are used mainly by the “littles”…my minature dachshunds…so they can keep up with the “bigs”, my yellow labs.
My 2 year old likes to YELL at me, “YOU’RE MEAN!”
As of recent it was sticker please.
Great post and fun contest. I shared it on my Facebook page and called it “One Step At A TIme”
Have fun storming the castle!
