DIY Outdoor Toy Storage

Getting the kids outside to play when the weather gets nice is one of our favorite things to do. Outside play is a great way to pass the time by and my kids always tend to fight less when we are outside. We don’t have a covered area outside so outdoor toy storage can be a bit of a challenge. The more we leave toys outside, the easier they get ruined. So I have been on the hunt for some outdoor toy storage ideas. I have put together some awesome ideas for you to check out as well!

Outdoor Toy Storage

#1 DIY Planter + Toy Storage

This is such a great idea for toy storage with more than one purpose! I loving the planter idea too! Outdoor toy storage with a multi-functional purpose is perfect!

#2 DIY IKEA Outdoor Toy Storage Hack

I love a good IKEA hack! This would be a perfect IKEA hack for outdoor toy storage. The ropes are a great way to hold balls!

#3 Outdoor Toy Rotation

I have never thought of this idea and it couldn’t be more perfect! Rotating toys is a great way to make sure your kids have fun playing and limit boredom! This is also a great way not to have to clean up all the toys every time you go outside.

#4 Toy Storage Shed

Not only is this an adorable way to store toys, I think my kids could turn a toy storage shed into a game!

#5 Floating Toy Storage

Floating toy storage is perfect to store water toys in the summer. If you have a backyard pool, this is extra fun. But I could see you making use of this in a small pool too. A great way to keep all the water toys together for easy clean up.

#6 Water Toy Storage

Storing water toys can be tricky! You don’t want water toys to grow mold or cause other toys to smell. This water toy storage idea is a great way to prevent mold and smells coming from your toys.

Do you have any outdoor toy storage ideas?

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
