Easy Tennis Racquet Storage Ideas To Stay Court Ready

by Carolyn 3 Comments

Tennis is such a great lifetime sport. While my kids are mainly into soccer I also try to make sure they play lifetime sports such as tennis, golf and swim during their off seasons. Since we are playing more often, I needed to find some Tennis Racquet Storage Ideas to keep all the equipment organized. With athletic kids I am all about sports equipment storage ideas.

With multiple kids racquets plus my own bag I need to keep it up off the floor of the garage. I also like to store multiple cans of balls so we are ready to play.

Here are my favorite storage hacks.

Tennis Racquet Storage Ideas So You Are Ready To Play

1.Racquet Rack – this rack can store multiple racquets plus a couple cans of balls. It will even hold the balls without the can. I like this because my boys will play in our driveway and can just grab a single ball.

2. Nail – This is my husbands no-fuss, no-cost method. For my younger kids cheap junior racquets we just stick it up on a nail. It is at their height so they can have access to the racquets without asking us for help.

3. Ball hopper – I like to keep a ball hopper for all the extra balls. It is easy to take to our neighborhood courts and get some serve practice all by myself. This is the mini version which is perfect.

4. Table Tennis Storage – If you have a table tennis or Ping Pong table you know it doesn’t come with a place to store the paddles and balls. Here is a great solution.

Tennis is one of my favorite sports. I play and enjoy watching it on TV. With all of our family’s tennis balls and racquets I needed some tennis racquet storage ideas.

I highly suggest teaching your kids some lifetime sports so they can enjoy being active their whole lives.

When things get tough in motherhood it feels like the days last forever and every day is the same. I know it sometimes feels like why bother doing the dishes, they are just going to be a new sink full in a couple of hours. This is when I know I am in burnout and need to spice things up.

One thing that productivity coaches always teach is to break things into small tasks and make sure to reward yourself for completing them.

A great example today is that I need to get our front porch ready for spring. I do not have a green thumb so planting flowers is a chore that I have been avoiding. I used some of the experts methods to get myself motivated to take action.

First, I purchased my supplies and got to work planting my flowers.

The Secrets to Raising Self-Motivated Kids

by Carolyn 1 Comment

Are you tired of having to nag your kids to do their homework, get dressed or stop dawdling? I want to teach self-motivation to my kids which will set them up to be successful in life.

I found myself telling my boys 10 times within 5 minutes to do one simple task and I was over it. How do Tiger Moms get their kids to do their work and chores without becoming a screaming lunatic? These are the things I want to learn so I have researched how other moms teach self-motivation so they don’t have to nag.

According to Dictionary.com, self-motivation is defined as the “initiative to undertake or continue a task or activity without another’s prodding or supervision.” In work, school, and play, self-motivation is an integral part of achieving goals and living a happy, fulfilled life. Self-motivation, like most skills, is one that needs to be taught and nurtured throughout childhood. The following five steps will help improve your child’s self-motivation and assist them as they navigate through their schooling career, as well as into adulthood.
