Shoes, Shoes...everywhere!




Some days our shoes consume our home. You can not walk through our front door w/o stepping on shoes. You can not walk through our garage door w/o stepping on shoes. We do have a "no shoe policy" in our home and so of course we dump them right outside or inside the first door we can. However when our shoes become like a piece of furniture or decoration...it's time to do something. We have a shoe box right inside of the front door and yet somehow shoes do not make it into the basket. We have a coat closet where we place our "once a week" shoes and yet we fail to put them there after our one use. We have a rack in the garage for our "outside" shoes (the ones that can get really dirty and it doesn't matter) and then I have a closet shoe hanger to put additional shoes...and yet they rarely make it back to their spot when I'm finished. Until of course I have a day like today and decide to once again take control of our shoes. This may seem like a small task and very unimportant, but for today it's been an accomplishment and one "step" closer to a more beautiful home:)
