When entering our home, there is no coat closet, or even much of an entryway to speak of.  Our kids tend to walk in the door and immediately dump their coats on the floor. And, of course, the dog promptly makes a nest in them and takes a nap. Even if they take their coats back to their room, they aren’t tall enough to hang them up in their closet, so they end up in a pile on the floor back there. It drives me nuts.
The other day, we were at Cost Plus/World Market, because it’s close to church, and I can’t resist going in when we drive by, especially at Christmas time. (I love everything in that store!) They had a big bin full of Indian ceramic dresser knobs and little hooks, and for $8 ($2 for each kid, including “Baby Tummy”), we had a solution to the coat problem!
A very small change makes a big difference sometimes, and a little less chaos is very good thing. 🙂
Those are so great! You could sell those on Etsy! (I bet you get that line a lot)
