We've come upon the end of October and it seems that I'm not nearly as ready for winter to come as I should be. I've been cleaning out the closets that I stored all the winter stuff in and realized that I didn't do a very good job sorting out what is too small and needs mended.
I've also been trying to decide how to handle the enormous amount of winter wear we'll have this year. Where will all the gloves, scarves, hats, boots and coats get put when not being used? Our "not too efficient" coat closet is being used for other things and I'm pretty sure we'll be using the backs of the chairs in the dining room and throwing stuff down on the floor a little too much.
I'm going to try to create a quazi "mud room" on our back porch to put the sloppy boots when we aren't using them. I will likely find me a big tubby to put the accessories in for the kids to "fish" for the matching set of gloves.
Coats, though? ugh... Maybe I'll just make the kids take them back to their rooms...
