Olympic Athlete Picabo Street on the Trials and Triumphs of Motherhood
Ten years ago, Olympian Picabo Street’s passion was the ski slopes. Today, its her family. And while she’s still proud of the three Olympic medals she won (tucked away safely at her mom’s house in Park City) it’s her three kids with husband John – -Eli, 6, Trey, 5 and Dax, 5 months — that make her beam with pride. While she ventured back to the slopes and the spotlight during the 2010 Winter Olympic games — as both mentor to Lindsey Vonn and special correspondent for the Today show –Picabo is now back to being a mom, and focusing on her other passions such as advocating for womens health and fundraising for charities. We sat down with her to speak candidly about the difference between her boys, raising a blended family, and yes, occasionally bribing her kids at Walmart.
Organization Tips for a Child’s Bedroom
A child’s bedroom is a place to slumber, to play, to create and to enjoy quiet time. Organize a child’s bedroom based on the child’s current needs and interests. Organizational furniture and storage units should not be selected based on functionality. Before organizing the child’s bedroom, remove all items. Clean windows and wash curtains. Repaint the walls to give the room a fresh start. Donate or give away any old items which the child no longer needs or uses.
Ways to Organize a Baby Closet
Babies inevitably come with a lot of stuff. From the first day you announced your pregnancy, through the baby shower, baby’s birth and baby’s first birthday you will receive more baby clothes and accessories than you ever imagined. The key to letting all of these cute onesies and outfits overwhelm you is to organize them as you put them away in baby’s closet. Use the closet as you have it now, without removing any existing clothes bar. Eventually, the baby closet will become the closet of a child and later a teen, if you do not plan on moving, and the child will need that closet bar. There is no need to install a special baby clothing bar since the bottom half of the closet can be organized in a better way. During the toddler and preschool years consider adding a low clothes bar for the child who is learning to self-dress.
