With five kids we have to keep things fairly organized around here, but with all the snow we’ve had these last three weeks the mitten/glove/hat/scarf mess has grown out of control…..that is until yesterday. I give all credit to my pal, Laurie, for posting this idea on her blog. I think it’s the best idea since sliced bread. This was the best $15 I have spent at Wal-Mart in a long time.
Yes, it’s an over-the-door shoe organizer and it has seven rows with six pockets in each. Each person has their own row. In the summer I can see soccer shin guards, baseball caps, sunglasses, and other little surprises the kids might stick in their pockets. Just perfect!
On another note, Grandma Wolfe left today. The kids enjoyed lots of crocheting and playing games with her. We’ll look forward to getting to see her and Grandpa again this summer.
Laurie’s good at that stuff . . . i was just looking at the picture of her mantle the other day thinking how far away i am from that kind of class:-)
Oh, you guys are sweet. Remember, the idea wasn’t mine, but I’ll take credit for actually DOING it, which is rare for me! Ha!!
Your organizer looks great, Jocelyn! Yeah!
Oh, that’s such a good idea. Just having two little boys around for the first time ever will be a challenge to keep everything in one place! I see a trip to Walmart soon!
Fun for your mother-in-law to come for a visit. How wonderful to build those special memories.
Hugs,
Janet and gang
your “perhaps today” behind the daily grind mess turned- fresh organization gave me a sweet reminder of keeping an eternal perspective amidst my own daily grind… crumbs under the dining table, potty-training, and mountains of laundry. thanks for the (most likely unintentional) uplifting article!
