Tackle-It Tuesday: Swimming Stuff

Every Tuesday, I tackle a different project around my home that's been bugging all of us!

YIKES! This has gotten out of hand. This is the cardboard copy paper box that we use to cram all things swimming into. It lives at the bottom of our linen closet, which is in the main bathroom. Over the years we have acquired many swimsuits and other items. It's time to clean it out. Sure, we need to keep some extras on hand for growing boys and girls, but the trunks that are too small for Sam need to go. And the suits too small for Eva need to go. I mean, if we do have one more kid, people will give us this stuff as hand-me-downs or else we can probably afford the $7 to get a new suit at Target, you know? I have to learn to let things go!

Anyway, this situation gets as out of control as our Winter Situation (boots, hats, scarves, gloves, etc.), which we will tackle on another Tuesday!

Here is the finished product!

Do you like how it's by the toilet brush and plunger? I have to be breaking some sanitary laws or something. I think a nice Target basket it in order for the swimsuits!

Here's the giveaway bag:

These were hard to give away. Michael and Joel had twin trunks, so I only saved one pair for Sam.

Also hard to give away because I got these for tiny Sam.

Also hard to give away. A teeny little hippie bikini my girls wore.

Okay, are ya'll happy now? I'm cleaning this mess up! I know my husband will be thrilled. Let's hope not TOO thrilled or you'll be seeing the I'M PREGNANT post in a few weeks ... haha!

UPDATE: October 10, 2024 and we moved to the country-ish in 2017 to a HOUSE WITH A SWIMMING POOL! So now we have swimming TUBS of floaties, towels, much bigger swimsuits (they just stay in their rooms in their drawers now), etc. I used to keep a bunch of extra swimsuits and swim trunks around for those who would come over but forgot their swim things. I don't do that anymore because I just don't have the room, even in our much-bigger home!
