Isn’t children coming in from sledding and building snowmen, every moms nightmare? Of course, it’s sweet, fun, and I love having hot cocoa ready, as they bust through the door with their frozen cheeks …but what about all that wet gear?
Planner Perfect would like to hear how you keep your children’s snow gear, organized, from before they go out…to when they come in.

I look forward to hearing from all of you!
It doesn't snow often here, but when it does, we need to be ready to go enjoy it quick! All hats, gloves, boots, etc are kept in a box in the coat closet. The kids tuck jammie pants into socks, and pull pants up over them, then add a second layer of socks. I lay out the winter gear with their coats while they are getting dressed (I have 3, ages 10, 8, & 6)
On the way back in – I keep a laundry basket next to the door. As they come in, ALL WET items get dropped in the basket, boots get lined up on the mat to dry. Once everyone is in, the basket gets emptied into the dryer. Then we all enjoy a big cup of hot chocolate, and hope there will be enough snow to play in later. 🙂
love it, Lorraine!
