Eliminate Morning Madness! Must Have Mudrooms & Entryways

Summer is quickly winding down with cooler days & nights that feel like fall. Labor Day is around the corner and we're already shopping for back-to-school supplies and clothing. Mornings need not be frantic last minute searches before heading out the door for the bus or carpool. Take the stress out of them by getting organized and having backpacks packed with homework & assignments, boots & shoes, outerwear & accessories organized the evening before in baskets and on shelves in your mudroom or entryway. Don't have a mudroom? A dresser, coat hooks, baskets and a bookcase can help you organize a corner near the door. A simple cubby is easy to build. Home Depot will cut the lumber to your measurements. My husband and I built one in about an hour. (Materials $78). We painted it white and added coat hooks and baskets. A boot tray corrals wet shoes and boots while protecting the floor.
