Front Door Mess

 This is the front door mess I needed to get under control! I use the area on the right for our shoes. We have been trying to remember to take our shoes off at the front door, and this helps to remember since it is so easy to just put them in their spots! The box needed to go to the donation center and had been sitting there for a few weeks, so I loaded it up in the car with several other items to take. See the mail on the floor?? It should not be there...it should be in that nice mail holder that has the hangers (those should be in the kids closets)! So many things are not where they belong! The bucket on the bottom shelf holds items I am selling on a local Facebook page! Everyday when the mail comes, I will put my mail in the front part of the box, and hubby's in the back, if we get junk mail it goes right to the recycle bin. We use this area for keys, and if we have something we do not want to forget to take when we leave we will put it in this area! Here in this photo you can see how it should look every day!
