I don't know about you, but I tend to get pretty fed up with winter right about now each year, along with all the extra mess it brings into our home. And by mess I mean hats, coats, shoes, boots, gloves, ear muffs, scarves...I think you get the idea. Unfortunately we don't have a designated "mudroom," so all throughout winter we have to look at the mess 24/7. And it drives. me. nuts. Seriously. So it seems like each year I try to get a bit more organized in the winter mess department.
