Today's
event will be.....HAT HOOPS.
Just like basketball, this will be a team event. Get the entire family involved because they will need to make some decisions about what they still like, what they still wear, and what they can let go of.
Just like basketball, this will be a team event. Get the entire family involved because they will need to make some decisions about what they still like, what they still wear, and what they can let go of.
The event involves...
Gathering
all of your hats, toques, ball caps, cowboy hats – basically anything that will
sit on your head - into one location.
What is your strategy to win at this game?
Sort all
the hats into categories. Same type
with same type…all the ball caps together, all the winter hats together. Get everyone to look at their head wear and
make decisions about what to keep following the same “rules” of the game we did
yesterday.
- Keep what you love, wear and have space to store
- Toss what is no longer in good condition and beyond repair
- Repair items you love but need a little rehab
- Donate items that are in good condition and you could bless others with
- Store items that are off season in a location that will keep them clean and protected until needed
If you
have tons of hats, you may need to use a timer to take regular
breaks. Keep in mind, as with any athletic event, time matters so
make your decisions quickly and spring into action. You are heading for a
gold medal....GO!!!
- Keep
- Toss
- Repair
- Donate
- Store
I would
suggest you store winter hats all together in a clear bin with a lid. Clear so you can see what is inside – with a
lid to keep items clean off-season. The
lid is also a good indicator of when you need to clear your hats out in the
future. If the lid is hard to get back
on, it is definitely time to clear some more out. Do the same with summer hats and label each
bin by season. Off season hats can be stored in the front closet if there is enough space, or in another part of the house if storage is at a premium.
Hatboxes
protect more expensive hats that are worn less often. Label the boxes so you know what is inside.
Ball Caps
can get a little out of control and you might need to get a little more
creative – they can be washed in the dishwasher (top rack) and if you cannot
store them in a bin, try searching on line for Ball Cap Storage Solutions. Here is a link to one option found at WalMart
