The Gobble Bag

My mom sent me an email today with a link to this article.
I felt like I could have written the frustrations that the author was expressing.
Then she offered up a creative idea to solve the problem. This amazing, wonderful, brilliant idea, (obviously best for younger kids) for getting the kids to pick up their toys.
Guess what, I tried it.
Guess what, they’ve never picked up their toys so fast.
Of course, it’s only day one, but at the end of the day, every day this week, I plan on reminding my kids about the gobble bag and how they won’t see the toys he gobbles up for a week!
If this is an idea you decide to implement, I would love for you to stop back here on Saturday and tell me if it’s working. Or if you made any modifications on it?
I’ll post an update on how it’s working for us, on Saturday for you to comment on. We can only hope that someday there will be one solution to every mothering woe we face. But till that day arrives, trial and error will have to suffice!
