We don't usually wear socks in the house, for whatever reason.  It's not a moral thing, just my children's preference (and because the kids would slide all over on our hard wood.)  But whenever we'd go out, we'd all have to run upstairs to get socks.  It was driving me CRAZY.  So finally (why did it take so long?) I moved the children's socks to the little mudroom.  Now, the socks are with the shoes, and it has saved us multiple extra trips up and down the stairs right when I'm trying to get everyone out the door.

Of course, I've gained five pounds-- probably because of all the lost exercise!  But I'd rather make it up by shoveling snow than to go back to the perpetual sock hunt...
