Who doesn’t want to make their mornings less stressful? Getting organized is a favorite buzz phrase. Is getting yourself and the family out the door creating chaos in the morning? A mudroom will make your mornings less stressful. Can’t find your car keys? Last-minute drama over backpacks and homework? In California, we don’t need a mudroom, but if you have the space adding a mud room station to your kitchen, laundry room, garage or even your entry will make your morning less stressful. I would have loved this when my daughters played soccer. I could have kept their clean uniforms and sporting equipment below in the basket.
Make the kids responsible for having their homework and books in their backpack the night before so they will be ready to run out the door.
You can build your own with bookshelves and coat hooks, or you can always get a handyman to do it for you.
