A Little Organization

This winter I am determined to be more organized when it comes to winter gear being tossed about.  A basket where we throw hats and gloves ain't gonna work.

I rearranged the "multipurpose nook" into a mudroom.  This little room off the kitchen has also served as an eating area, a sewing room and the school room.  For the next six months it's the mudroom, plain and simple.

After browsing blogs and Pinterest, I found this idea ... use a hanging pocket shoe organizer for hats and gloves.

This one works well for us because it has six rows.  Six people, six rows, four pockets each.

There are also at least 24 hooks on which to hang coats and snow bibs.  Next on the project list is making a little clothesline to dry gloves before putting them back in the pocket organizer.

If I get nothing else for Christmas, this will do it.  Organization equals peace of mind.  And less mess.  Always a good thing, huh, Martha Stewart?!
